Quote of the week – Big John McCarthy

My advice would be to beg Georges to just scrape the little Hawaiian version of the “Pillsbury Doughboy” off his shoes and wait until HE feels like fighting the little budha boy on his own terms. Why do Baby Jay any favors when he makes demands like a spoiled […]
Steve Cofield gets it right (again)
