I keep your seat lemony fresh since you won't be getting up anytime soon. Pinesol's love for sports began growing up in the slums of Shaolin, cheering on his hometown Yankees and Knicks. He randomly picked the Miami Hurricanes as his college football team since his alma mater had no team and was only famous for its basketball players who were better at selling crackrock than shooting the rock.

HOW DARE YOU LOL AT JOINING THE KNICKS? How dare you laugh at the prospect of joining one of the greatest franchises in sports? You are not a franchise player. You get good stats on a mediocre team with a high paced offensive system. You will never win MVP. You will never be in the [...]
