I think this is something you never get over. My little boy would be turning eight in a couple days. The hole is still there in my heart.

He died doing what he loved...

“And then you get six people to eat several over-sized dicks... and they get six people...”

I was impressed by Jacob’s and his ability to stay on the game plan. There were 2 times he got off the game plan and one basically lost him the fight when GGG knocked him down and the other was probably one clean shot from another and a possible stoppage.

I think the newer balls contribute to the knuckling…

eh I’m sure we’ll still win more basketball titles than your conference’s combined.

That’s just, like, your opinion, man.
