October 1, 2017 general

Sunday 4 a.m. It’s a shame that Hugh Hefner, the greatest offense in history (he always scored), has died. I say we all wear pajamas to mourn. – Question: Should the Rays bring back Lucas Duda? –  Takkarist McKinley of the Falcons lost a dread on the field last week. This week, he saw it […]
