OSP 2/20
Look let me put this to you straight, the NFL season never ends. It goes into hibernation to a certain degree for a few weeks but it is year round. We will continue to visit current happenings but it’s time we start turning our attention to things like basketball, especially college, some NHL action and spring training. Baseball used to be known as America’s Game but not so much anymore. We will move around the court, diamond, course and rink as needed as we edge closer to the conclusion of season 4 of the OSP. Don’t fret though, we will just be gearing up for our best season yet when we start back up in season 5. Our mailbag is full so let’s get after it fellas!
Crew intro:
