You've been delusional and wrong for months now.

Minnesota?

Ive always wanted the Mumps.

Beware total counts. The needle is where it is at, and the needle not looking great.

Needle's not looking great.

If only Herschel Walker was in charge of missile defense to nip that in the bud

Just saw this...

Which Clark County? I assume people know Springfield, OH is Clark County.

Not having one's wife or daughter die from a difficult pregnancy seems up there...

Second round pick. It is the third pick, and since we are on track to get a Competitive Balance A pick, it is the second round pick.
