What happens when your punt’s blocked, you pick it out if the air, scamper for a first down and get hammered at the boundary. And no targeting???? Iron man Ben Kiernan.

PSA: Barbecue is not a verb, it's a noun.
You aren't going to one today, that's a "cookout". You grilling today, you aren't "barbecuing".
It's ONLY something you eat, pulled or chopped with a vinegar-base sauce.

stallions fighting over mares and territory this weekend. Normal behavior that can last several days. Also why, by law, you MUST stay 50 feet away from the horses AT ALL TIMES. If they come towards you, YOU have to move.
