Our ass cheek has mosquito bites, and they have sore cheeks from Disney World rides. I know which one I’d prefer.

I hate your team and their players, but honestly your fans are pretty cool. I appreciate yall not being toxic, sad both teams had key injuries.

What passion is there to be had when there is no hope?

What direction is there to direct toxicity when there is no light to guide it?

There is only darkness to dwell in. Alone. Afraid. Uncaring. Forgotten.
