Glad You Asked: Weekend Edition
Posted By Colin Wolf on September 28, 2012, 2:00 PM
Dear GYA, I'm pretty excited the NFL and the referees have finally reached a deal. I was gettin' real tired of those blind, idiotic, replacement refs. But now, when my team loses, I can feel good knowing that I'm yelling at the professional blind idiotic refs.--- Since Sunday is a ways off, anything good happening this weekend? - Anthony Dickaroni, Murray
