Conference Finals Preview

May 18, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt Leave a Comment

Feature Image via Bruce Bennett/Getty Images I’m starting to think I shouldn’t have moved away from Las Vegas with the way I’m picking hockey this year. 7 for 8 in the first round and 4 for 4 in the second round. Not too shabby picking skills on my part…just don’t look too closely at my March […]

[…]

WWE Seth Rollins is Rolling!

May 12, 2015 by Robert Moreno Leave a Comment
