Sports Illustrated

Yesterday i read Sports Illustrated for an hour on the way to West Bend to get my wisdom teeth out. I read about Sports Illustrated's predictions for the NCAA tournament. I also read an article on Tony Mandarich, who was suppose to be the best offensive line prospect ever but turned out to be a bust. After his NFL career was over, he admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs, which the article mostly focused on.
