Just another guy watching games and thinking things
THE GUY WHO LIKES SPORT
Who am I?
I'm just another guy who thinks his takes on various sports and pop culture are worth listening to. Are they? Probably not, but I need somewhere to air them. Yet another Bill Simmons impression.

This is that something.
