High School Baseball field wet, Coach sets fire to dry it out
We’ve all had our rough times with athletics growing up. Sometimes it’s forgetting thew water bottles on the bus and the coach reeeeeems you out.

Deke’s Mock Draft 2.0
I enjoy a little chaos, what can I say. In this Mock, I looked at the recent free agency frenzy to decide who would fall where. I can almost guarantee that the Jets move back in this draft based off the recent Le’Veon Bell news. Alas, we don’t do trades of any kind. #1: ArizonaContinueContinue reading “Deke’s Mock Draft 2.0”
