I love when someone adds a funny comment!

btw, Derrick Rose is dumber than dirt, and completely worthless to the team.

"I'm sorry, was there football on today? Didn't watch any. "

I quit watching PRO sports years ago. Too many over paid babies.

Well, even the NBC sportscasters remarked about the hypersensitive penalties during the Chargers/Pats game.

It was a decent game. Missed everything earlier.
