Rumor has it the Phoenix Suns finally won a basketball game. I wouldn’t know. I didn’t watch a single second of it. Feel free to blame me, Bright Side.

Hell, if you get fouled outside of two minutes, you take one free throw for the whole trip. Efficiency at its finest. The Valley Suns played the Rip City Remix in a close battle down the stretch, and I lost my damn voice screaming.
