Re: Our women are better than our men

I'm just so sick of our decline that the only way I can stay engaged with MBB is through mockery of their abject failure. Oh dude of course. No criticism here.

There was a little shoving but didn't warrant a flagrant call. Watson body checked and hit Kunkel in the head in the 2nd OT and nothing was called. If anything, Durham's foul on Nunge was much more flagrant and yet only a common foul was called. Lots of stuff on both sides that weren’t called. It’s...
