    Damn these irresponsible owners! Don’t they know they’re getting paid billions to run a game most people play for fun?? I’m always reading about them shooting guns in strip joints and driving while high or drunk! They need to grow up and stop acting so thuggish — be a responsible man, dude! And I blame that hippity hoppity music too!
