Bronco is a wanna-be GA. He thinks of this as a calling

Matthute

Apr 30, 01:06pm

Football is a football player's job. PERIOD.

sonofchet

Apr 30, 10:08am

You didn't answer my question.

Apr 30, 10:22am

I think I did answer it.

sonofchet

Apr 30, 10:29am

I don't think it is so much "the message" as it is in how it
