So, um, Wlad just gave McLaren a big middle finger.

I had no idea McLaren would be this bad.  None. I thought he'd make an awesome manager.

If you can't laugh about something, then we are no better than the people that did this. They don't laugh about anything, that's what makes us different. (paraphrase)

SportsTime Ohio poll question
