No Longer Perfect

This stat line for Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is telling; 14-22, 77 yards, 0 TD, sacked 3 times. It pretty much tells me that the Denver Broncos have a legitimate defense. Continue reading

The only way to know in real time is if the team getting the established major leaguer goes on to win a World Series.
