The Washington Redskins are more likely to win a World Series than a Super Bowl in the next five years

I said earlier today that I think the Redskins are more likely to win a World Series than they are Super Bowl in the next five years. Yeah, I'd agree. I'd agree just just by like a random shit show of occurrences that somehow become a major league team.

As of 2024, the team (now the Commanders) has won zero Super Bowls and obviously zero World Series, making this a hilarious incorrect but satirical take.

WWE intentionally fired me on my wedding day out of malice

I was like, can I talk after my honeymoon? My wife worked there. She asked for the day off to get married. So the idea that they didn't know that that was the date and I was getting married is impossible.
