That was a good old fashioned butt whuppin! Ain’t no two ways about that. I have always felt that a team will get it’s arse handed to it at least once a year. This felt like that game. I could see how folks would feel that it could happen again especially against the Lions. The […]

Kevin […]

A guy can dream. I sure hope that Carson Wentz’ status as the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, during the showdown versus the San Diego Chargers on Thursday night football, is conditional. I want to believe there was a conversation that went something like this: KO: “Hey, Carson, I need to talk to you […]
