$50, I want $50.

Holy crap! Doesn’t SI look at the date when they research info like that. Everyone else I talked to knew that was an April fools joke right away.
Nice catch, king.
Yeh-heh-hessss. Nice spot there, king alvarez. Yes — the king man is in de house!
But really, Sports Illustrated — come onnn. I only buy that rag once a year! And it IS for the pictures!! Know what I mean?!?
I poop on the rest of it.
I’d love to see 80 again. If that happens, I’ll probably finally sell my stock. Well, maybe.
But it would be awesome if it happened.
