The Maestro - April 4, 2019April 4, 2019

You know what disappoints me? Games that get played in domes. There's not enough being done about trying to toughen people up - we need to do more to get football players out doing their thing in all types of weather. Snow, hail, rain - doesn't matter to me. I
