    I’d pay $10 for some dude from Averett or Ferrum to come flying out and pankcake this dude right in the middle of his set for Burt Bacharach night.

    I always kinda pictured Keith McMillan as our office’s linebacker. I mean, he played safety in college and he doesn’t put up with much nonsense. :)

    But now we’re not in the same office anymore. My new office doesn’t have a linebacker, just a bunch of scatbacks and possession receivers.

    So the guy barely even played and only for a year. I herd him say on the show ” alot of people dont know this but i played college football “… Is that supposed to make us vote for him cause hes a 10 th string running back for a non scholarship team and couldnt cut it…I dont know what Im trying to say, just trying to keep busy till kickoff in sept…Go Mount…

    I’d have to agree with purlpephyco.. 4 carries.. 5 yards, not the best yards per carry, and I would also love to see him get pankcaked on stage!! That would make me watch American Idol…

    Saturday its on!
