Las Vegas League 1 - First Weekend

Brian hate that you lost it. As you probably already know I paid a little less attention this year. One thing I did glance at was how you were doing and was happy you were going to get your first title. At least you lost to a nice guy.

RIP Nick Charles

Had the pleasure of him living next door to my family for about 7 years. One of the nicest people you will ever meet and he loved sports.



Big loss for his family, the city of Atlanta, and all people who love sports.
