My Birthday too.... 11/01/69
I wish Brees realize that he has two sets of weapons: his hands AND feet! The sooner he realizes that, he won’t break last year’s record 22 INTs.
The NFP article about Bayless was funny
It’s amazing how many people don’t realize that Skip is the ESPN troll. He’s specifically there to be a troll.
PatY’s article about Smith and Jackson and the Pro Bowl ballot is interesting, but ultimately I have to disagree with him. I know Smith was just taking a weight loss supplement, but as a potential PED masker, it does make sense that anyone caught using it would be ineligible for the Pro Bowl.

Looks like David removed it for some reason (I was wondering why it was there in the first place).

BOOM! Rec'd
….on both statements. I almost typed in my own snarky comment to Daniel’s tweet. I don’t give a f*** about beards and people saying they’re ready. Prove it on the field and don’t ever again subject us to another suckfest like Sunday.

It's not about beards...
No shave is talking about growing a moustache for the month of November. November is Prostate awareness month.
