Hickman Can Suck it

Nice article on the Tandy right?!? Bitch ass fans callin for the Tandy to have some bench time. Coach Stew was all up in the Tandy’s face til coach’s face said hello to the Tandy’s nuts. The Tandy got tired of being to soft on these candy ass clowns on offense, so the Tandy’s been bringn the mutherluvn pain since. Before the Tandy peaced out of Tampa he got bag deep in a tag team with Carlton’s Mitchell sweet ass girlfriend and freak of a mom. Ya that’s right, the Tandy ran some deep routes of his own bitches. Now, the Tandy’s ready for some freshman meat, Tom Savage you just made the Tandys list. Tandy OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
