Alex Bregman is a fraud and clown and cheating scumbag. Jose Altuve is a fraud and clown and cheating scumbag. Justin Verlander wants to open his mouth about everything under the sun but is nowhere to be found. This is a team of liars, cheaters and scumbags. Fuck them

In all seriousness. The Brad Allen crew can’t work a playoff game. Multiple egregious blown calls at the ends of games in the last month. Cannot let this team continue working, they can’t be trusted

Packers fans in my mentions, I don’t give a shit about your team. I don’t root against them unless I bet against them. I’m just stating the obvious: they’ve gotten lucky all season and have zero business playing for a conference title. They are frauds. The luck has run out.

Mixed emotions today as a Giants fan. Both sad and angry about how the Eli era ended. Wish he’d walked away. Wish the team had cut ties sooner. Although I understand (and contributed) to it, I hate how he turned into a punch line. Sad NY ending for my all-time favorite athlete.
