We start off with talk about my comic, The Spookies, and my (very, very unsuccessful) attempts to sell it to the hipster crowd at Bethesda’s Small Press Expo. The talk quickly turns to Vikings star running back and NFL darling Adrian Peterson getting arrested over the weekend for felony child […]
Another week, another episode of Papa’s Football Podcast. If you like football and hate work, spend an hour with us. Also spend an hour with us if I was ever nice to you in elementary school or Howard ever purchased you a drink. You owe us. Never forget it. Click […]
