Here are my personal highlights from the 2007 NFL Season:

Watching the opening game of the season against the Cowboys on Tay-Tay’s crazy 50-something inch TV.

false advertising

October 24th, 2007 · No Comments

A bit of a rant.
When a place advertises that there is karaoke on Wednesday nights, they should have karaoke on Wednesday nights.

all things sports

October 3rd, 2007 · No Comments

Well, the big updates of things that have happened the past few days have revolved around sports.
