Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
A 9-year-old boy in Ohio was playing recently in his backyard with his friend when an errant pass rolled down a hill. The boy went to retrieve the ball when he was set upon and trapped against a tree by a deer. Luckily, the friend came to his aid by chasing the deer off when he beat it with a stick. That friend definitely gets first pick as captain on Thursday.

Bah… Vin Wilfork not only would push that deer back, he’d f*ck it after.

The Devil Deer doesn’t move when you throw rocks at him. Well that’s evil, common courtesy says when you’re getting rocks thrown at you you should act calmly and respectfully and just back away.
