FIFA Did A Bunch Of Shady Shit This Week

There is a lot of corruption going on in the world, but not at FIFA, no siree.

The Raiders Placed A Bet On Gareon Conley

The Raiders took Ohio State CB Gareon Conley with the 24th pick of last night NFL Draft, much lower than he was expected to go a week ago, and much higher than many teams were willing to take him.
