Well gang, your boy Big Hatt is moving up in the world. The blogging world, that is. Not the real world. Still near the bottom of the totem pole there. But who cares about that, right? (Vitale voice) This is the internet, baby! It’s awesome! Arrowhead Addict has decided to import Big Matt. I will [...]
Jarrad Page moves forward with master plan to ruin life
For those not following the red-hot, ESPN bottom line material Jarrad Page holdout, allow me to catch you up: he still hasn’t signed his tender. It doesn’t appear that he’s going to.
