It was like a professional wrestler setting up his match with the "new guy." All he was missing was a feather boa and sunglasses. <br /><br />Gossage just made himself sound dated. The "nerds" in the front office bit is just tired and old.

What we need, as usual, is a balance between getting super sensitive about every perceived slight and the preconceived showboating that I believe actually hurts the NFL -- despite what Bryce Harper thinks.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-89106675319826094562016-03-13T18:39:57.454-07:002016-03-13T18:39:57.454-07:00*allowed.
