YEH! i saw this game....

Roethlisberger did well


Well Khai, at least things got just a little bit more interesting towards the end of this one, right? haha


The guy I’m playing against in FFB picked him up and is killing me right now.  I’m HOT right now!


Is Mike Wallace the real deal? Sure has looked good so far.


LMAO not at all!  Bored outta my mind right now.


Ok, the way it’s going so far, is it crazy for me to predict a 3-2 final score?
