I’ve been having fun with those children all morning. It really makes you wonder if they were thrown down a flight of stairs as kids.

Mods aren’t doing their jobs over there, seems like anybody and their brother can start a stupid post about anything. Need the iron fist of @vol66 and @OldTimer to clean up that mess.

On another note, how did you guys feel about the orange helmets last week? I know we lost, but, uniforms had nothing to do with it. If that were the case then we would need to get rid of every uniform combo we have as we have lost in all of them, with the exception of the black ones. What say ye wise men?
