I wish Dez well. Of course, except against the Pack. And I hope he's the only Queen that does well.

The headlines stated the obvious today: Desmond Bishop said part of the reason he signed with the Minnesota Vikings was to extract some semblance of blood — to get a shot at Aaron Rodgers. Now that's a revelation
