September 3rd, 2008 · 2 Comments

When word came back from the team doctor that Samuel Rocha was done for the year, a collective sob was heard in Strom Thurmondland (and if you’re ever in Strom Thurmonland, check out the Hall of Aryan Nations). The loss of the team’s best player put a bit of a damper on two big free [...]
