Brett Favre
Peyton Manning’s legacy
If you cringed when you read the title of today’s post, you’re probably not alone. I’m not sure which phrase, between “Who dat?” and “Manning’s legacy”, I have heard over the last 48 hours. That said, ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt brought up an interesting take on his radio show earlier this week. Van Pelt said [...]
Prop bets you can’t find in Vegas
