News Flash: Spam has a new hot honey flavor! They are going to go fast, get yours while they last!
I prefer Great Value Luncheon Meat now, SPAM has gotten too hoity-toity.
 
Good Morning Kev! I heard Ohio State managed to squeak one out yesterday. Glad you found your slippers. Take care bud.
Good morning Tom, ya I don’t have any finger nails or hair left!

So you pour honey on your wife? That way you get a hottie and honey. I really don’t want to know how spam is involved here though….

Since we don't stream and have no intention of putting up with the nonsense scheduling of NFL broadcasts we don't really follow pro football any longer but I grew up as a Browns fan watching Jim Brown and so will always be a Browns fan but lived many years in New England and watched the Pats go from humiliatingly bad to one of the best after NE got Belichick from Cleveland (through a day in NY). So a Pats fan as well you can't live through the Pats/Bears Superbowl and not root for them when they were on top. Arizona is kind of the same. Went from zero to one short of the top and back to zero. Not really an AZ fan but still wish them well.
 
Expect a lot of trash talk all week between CB and John ahead of next Saturday’s Ole Miss and Gators game! This is going to be fun!
