The Pi Brew
We’re back at it with an all new Brew. The year is coming to a close. Miles Sanders suffered a hand injury. Barstool’s Dave Portnoy isn’t having the best week. The Batman trailer was released. The legendary John Madden passed away. We have a lot to get to for this Thursday edition of the Brew. Let’s do this thing. It’s Brew time!

Miles Sanders reacts
By far the most difficult, frustrating, emotional year of my life, I put my heart and soul into this sport, one thing about me tho when adversity hits I always respond, I love these Philly fans, I love my teammates and I promise imma bounce back from this.
