  • The Los Angeles You’re Sitting In F**king Traffic For Six Hours God Dammit

    When the Washington Redskins finally changed their name most of us thought…how did it take this long? But it doesn’t end there.

Some say it’s past time to make changes, others feel some are being overly sensitive. Join us as we tackle the mascot debate and laugh along as John tries to understand sports.
