1. If Bobby Orr is not a US citizen (he's from Canada) he may have broken the law donating to Trump.

Orr was born in Canada but resides in the US, and donated $5,000 to the Trump campaign this summer. While his wife, Margaret, is a registered voter, Orr is not, according to public voting records. CNN was unable to determine if Orr is an American citizen. Two emails sent to Orr's associates went unreturned.

After reading about and meeting Bobby Orr, I was bowled over to read this endorsement. It must be the tax breaks.

My favorite player was Greg Shepherd.

It amazes me what some people are willing to do for money -- like
endorsing Trump for POTUS.

Pic. The "dive" after the "goal." I gave it to one of the younger guys who loved hockey when I moved back to CO. He really is a god there

Fuck him.

10. It's interesting to learn that Brett Favre is a racist. I wonder how much CTE is involved...

...with such bad thinking.

I'm not a football fan, really, but I am surprised that a guy who makes Copper Fit ads with Jerry Rice is a racist.

Of course, Copper Fit is a nonsense product in any case, a Trump University of medical devices.

can be utterly stupid. Orr didn't advertise it.

Favre wore his idiocy like a Hawaiian shirt.

The same Brett Favre that was an drug addict, but never seems to give a shit about addicts now that he supposedly cleaned up?

That Brett Favre?

Selfish pricks love trump. What can you say
