interesting, good timing with him returning to San Diego next week

 

I guess it's been too long since an Atlanta Falcon got in legal trouble

 

I just freaking put him in my starting lineup next week. Better not get suspended. :)

its amazing just how stupid these guys are

 

Good god why would you do that.

 

Good job Mike.

 

I didnt think his post was all that great myself, but to each their own.



:icon_cheesygrin:

 

I deal with bullcrap like this every day. 24 hours or more later, freaking reports still aren't filled out?

Crash/traffic reports are the worst, but something should have been written by then and I can't get past it. These people are public employees.
