I watch his speech every year and it chokes me up every time.

Gentlemen, we’ll be successful this year if you can focus on three things, and three things only. Your family, your religion and the Green Bay Packers,

It's actually pretty interesting that ESPN not only does a really good job with the actual charity, but also squeezes out every ounce of "ESPN and the ESPYs are relevant" because we do this week which actually ends up being like 13.9 days.

Nah, just a run of the mill turd. And besides, there is a time and a place to "give up". That's what grownups do.

Have you watched that Houston game recently? They took that game over and then slowed it down for some reason.

So, in general, the board values Pat Patterson over Jimmy V. Is that what I’m gathering?

I can't watch any part of that game. It's only a notch above the worst game of all time, Georgetown v. Villanova

Ugh.

I hadn't even clicked on the thread about Patterson until you mentioned him. I had no clue who he was. I wish I still did.
