While he could probably do the job of the news director (who JUST got got on snapchat last week) better than him, for now Brian is working for Sports Channel 8 because he can work from home and they agreed to pay for half of his NBA League Pass.

The Dancing Bear Conquers

There’s never really a “good” time to play against the Golden State Warriors — they’re a godless juggernaut sent to destroy your scheme, team and dream.
