By Christopher Boyd -
I stand(?) before you a revived man! My final two players for my fantasy soccer team played on Monday, and within the first 30 minutes of the game, both had scored, booting me from last to 4th in one league, and all the way to 41st in another (from 76th). THANK YOU, Messers Diego Costa and Andre Schürrle! Honestly, Schürrle's goal was wonderful, mostly because midfielder Cesc Fabregas (full name Francesc) had this beauty of a pass. (honestly, click that link even if you're not a soccer fan... HOLY ACCURACY).
Hockey season is fast approaching- we're down to 52 days till the season (but who's counting?). So let's get to the Walk!
