As it stands for me
A) No fan should be allowed on any sideline/court/field. Didn’t we already go through this with those freaks tackling a baseball umpire some years back? Although – to have a picture with the story is pretty priceless, you know, once you’re done with the fines and court proceedings and all…
B) I no longer care about the can of whoop*ss we put on the Cards.
C) I’m torn between watching all of Sunday’s games or shocking finding something else that’s wicked fun to do and letting it play out without me biting my fingernails. Big BOO to the flex schedule giving the Jets the field with knowledge of our game’s final score. That rips me.
D) The Yankees are ridiculous and I can only hope this 400+ million dollar train go off the tracks and end up watching the playoffs from home. Again.
E) That’s all I have, I’m going back to my Ravens/Dolphins voodoo dolls to continue my witchy ways…
New England has the Best Fans in the Land!
