Huzzah! Let the Carnage Begin

Hmmmmm. Couldn’t beat the Cards in our house with their backup QB Drew Stanton going 11-28, so coming in to their house with their team at full strength doesn’t bode well. The offense at least got some yards last week, … Continue reading →

Game Day! Oh Shit . . . That’s Right . . .
