Happy GAME DAY! Make sure you turn your #JuiceCuse meter up to 110 today. The TNIAAM guys got a little feisty yesterday. All due respect though, for a while I thought they weren't taking this game seriously.
We'll have the game thread up tonight around 6:45pm ET. Grab your choice of beverage and meet me for a game chat.
