Let’s Ride… JT into the Ground
Don't get too discouraged, Let’s Ride… JT into the Ground! Listen, I've been in this business long enough to realize that every once in a while, free points can just randomly appear out of nowhere. Then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! Hmmm, okay; maybe asking for an additional 36 points is a little excessive.
