The Pi Brew
My how time flies as we’re onto the month of May. The Kentucky Derby was this weekend and the race had an exciting finish. In addition, the NFL Draft started Thursday night and concluded on Saturday. Night one saw the Eagles make a deal with the devil to land their guy. Night two appeared to show a bit of distention within the Eagles brass in their war room. Speaking of war, all hell is breaking loose with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.Β All this and more in this week’s Brew. Let’s get to it!
The Eagles danced with the devil at the draft
