The Pi Brew
We’re back with a new Brew. We’re in the middle of a free agency frenzy in both the MLB and the NFL. The Phillies have picked up a couple of solid players, but will there be any huge signings or big trades? The bad guy Scott Hall passed away, but he didn’t go down without one last fight. March madness is here, but what do the Men’s and Women’s final four courts look like? As usual, we have a lot to get to, so let’s get to it. It’s Brew time!
