“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

Neymaring

Apparently some sort of Very Big Event took place yesterday in the world of Sportzball, and frankly most of the time I couldn’t give a rat’s ass about what happened because unless the event involves Roger Federer doing his GOAT shtick, or an actual MMA...
