Burnnnnn in obscurity

That Player’s Tribune thing has been a lot better at breaking news and giving real looks into athletes’ lives than I thought it would be, especially with Yeah Jeets at the helm.

Takes guts to try on a Monday

His goddamn subway ads when he's won nothing are a bit much, to your point
