Buffalo Bills Cut Shady
On the cusp of a pathetic Manchester United performance where I had to watch Greg be happy with one point (heartbreaking), ESPN’s Shefty has reported that the Buffalo Bills have released Pro Bowl running back LeSean McCoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGHucMa_XZQ If any player has ever given me anxiety on the field, it’s McCoy’s inability to hold theContinueContinue reading “Buffalo Bills Cut Shady”
Deke Needs an NCAA Team
At TFTB, I normally ask the guys to participate in certain things. A list of questions they have to answer that only three guys did, football shirt ideas that only four guys did, and my favorite, a draft party where two guys attended. Hot Seat – my idea of the word “fun”. Recently, I taskedContinueContinue reading “Deke Needs an NCAA Team”

KD Doesn’t Blame the Warriors for Achilles Injury Cause…..Duh
I don’t know which way to lean here. On one hand, I think KD is a big baby. He’s easily one of the best basketball players I have seen with his amazing combination of height and shooting range, but alas, a big baby. https://twitter.com/harrisonmc15/status/909634206355066880?s=20 The other side is that I genuinely feel like KD getsContinueContinue reading “KD Doesn’t Blame the Warriors for Achilles Injury Cause…..Duh”
