If these guys just stuck to hockey, I would love their content. Unfortunately, sports just can't be an escape anymore.

Jay is a simp. He has believed everything the plantiffs' lawyer has said without question. And as time goes by things have been shown are not true or exaggerated. Go figure a lawyer lying and embellishing in a lawsuit, who knew.

Jay's a good dude and his heart is in the right place, but it's guys like him that perpetuate the victimhood culture we currently find ourselves in. But the key is you have to be the right kind of victim to get the compassion.
