He needs a blanket party hosted by every veteran upon whom he spitted. If he survives, ship his sorry ass to Cuba in a hold full of rotting tuna aboard a leaky tramp steamer.
Says a lot about Baltimore.
Does Havana have a football team?
No, but a revived Venceremos Brigade may be looking for new blood in the fields harvesting ‘cane.
I won’t dispute that he belongs in Baltimore. He doesn’t belong in the NFL however
