All good players have multiple 3 year gaps in playing time.

Ah yes. He’s mad that trucks are parked in front of his property. The logical action is to render them immobile.

I can’t help but think that Windhorst probably googled “What does marijuana smell like” before chiming in.

it’s almost like victorian times sucked and people should stop romanticizing it

Japanese guy wins a race and this guy clutches his Pearl Harbors.

anyone noticing a pattern in this comment?

Perhaps it’s 3-1 lead poisoning.

Yes, yes they did.

Actually, this is verified fact.
