NCAA basketball is “modern-day slavery,” huh? It isn’t if the “slaves” would only take advantage of a FREE education.
The Wings’ LATEST skid is six games. Brandon McAfee says firing Jeff Blashill wouldn’t make a diff. Bob disagrees.
Yet maybe our young producer is right about this too since Bob seems to be coming around on Bonds and Clemens as HOFers.
Curt Schilling as well? Yes? Just think what this whacko might SAY standing on the podium at Cooperstown!
Denny was off today. Wonder what he’d say about the Brewers hiring an ex-GIRLS SOFTBALL PLAYER as a hitting coach?
