TheLegendBoobieMiles
Listen, TheLegendBoobieMiles, we do admire the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Adam Vinatieri), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we'll be toast.
