  • caleb williams

    tony called this man suh-leb williams three times in the first five minutes of the top 10 episode and we’re supposed to take it seriously.

    the most prolific and highly regarded NFL prospect in a decade and we can’t even get his name right.

    schmeelky you’re a stud i know you do your homework. give me call, i’m at home on my couch with wifi and i can do a better job than tony for a fraction of the price.
