The OBJ Drama, or nausea is over…for now. A team out of nowhere came up and grabbed him. The Los Angeles Rams. I have to say, I didn’t see that one coming. Now, I knew it wouldn’t be Green Bay. Green Bay is a great team, with great tradition, but […]
Aaron Rodgers Needs to be Suspended and Green Bay Punished….But The NFL Won’t Have the Stones to Do it
First and foremost, I hope that Aaron Rodgers is ok. Nobody deserves Covid. I went through it last year, and for about five weeks, it kicked my ass. I hope he pulls through 100% as quickly as he can and returns to be able to finish his career. But I […]
