No, your eyes do not deceive you. The feature is back. And I’m proud to bring it back. For those of you who are new to my blog, let me fill you in on the backstory. A few years ago, I took one day a week out of my blog to showcase ten of my…
Read MoreAdrian Peterson, the switch, and his (finally) deactivation
I’ve followed the recent stories involving the NFL and player actions within with great interest and concern.
