Saving Grace

The only entertaining moment from last night’s Jets-Bills game was the ball that bounced off the face of Braylon Edwards. That man cannot catch a football if his job depended on it. Oh, wait…

After that play, I just turned it to the Oregon-Oregon State game. That was 1000x more entertaining.
