  • Kevin… 🥵

    Kevin Ward and his sexy lip fuzz keep me listening. I get sweaty and excited listening to his voice. If there was a Patreon tier where I could pay for mustache rides, I’d buy it. Hawks By A Million!

  • Love Y’all

    Love G-Bones bets, Drake is a real homie. Tell Kevin he needs to stop bailing on Wards winners.

    For the love of God. Bring back the clip or sound bite of Gary Dolphin saying “Kevin Ward, good to see him back out there”

    Love you guys, go hawks! Hawks by a million!
