It’s like he couldn’t decide between Shakespeare’s Iago and Theo Huxtable.
The number of fights per year with fans. What’s baseball’s limit right now?

I don’t do hooves.
BAG BOY
Jerry Angelo. Stuff him in the war room, lock it and leave.

That’s like a national pastime in Brazil. I am hereby known as “Baggo.”
I would limit the number of 15-point halftime deficits to the no-account Atlanta Hawks! Geez!
