Great news. It would have been nice for her to have gone out with some real highs at the end of her playing career but it wasn't to be (still don't get the way Wiegman handled things) but hopefully her, so far, very successful transition to a post player life is making up for that. I hope the...

And so the dumpster fire starts in earnest.

Dis you?

Nice review but what's the Mazda got to do with it? Actually scrap that, there should always be a "what I was driving when I bought this" paragraph. Maybe with a brief review of the vehicle? But red Rob ? Tut tut.
