At one time their sakes were Balls to the Walls.
Now it’s just nuts....
Got to hand it to these headline writers...
Viagra gives the NFL the shaft.......
Viagra’s withdrawal seen as premature despite claims of flaccid sales, some predict a near term sales spurt.
Funny that. The Viagra commercials (and the other ED ads and various other crap) were the main reasons I stopped watching live football on TV.
Whoa
Viagra and Cialis. Accounts were worth tens of millions of bucks in ad revenue.
I have 2 words for the NFL: Tim Tebow.
Yes, they do pick good looking women.
