This is Leo. And that’s a regular-sized tennis ball. He’d like to know when he’ll be big enough to catch it. 12/10 soon, buddy

We need a new Stephen King book to explain some of this, put it into some kind of words, and find some kind of ending. Even if it's only in a book. Good grief.

Just saw a commercial by some scary gal, an exaggerated, overly dramatic SNL type skit threatening certain groups of people in a sweet and creepy voice to leave now or they will find you with OUR American flag waving behind her, barbed wire, etc. This does NOT represent us. Shocked and sad.

Fox and Vick are marketing on his animal abuse. If he wants to give his expertise he could easily be behind the scenes. They could easily find better, less violent, less controversial players to represent their channel. Sad stuff.
