Team Rice Wins Big Break NFL Puerto Rico!

So…what did you think of the finale of Big Break NFL? I had a little trouble watching the show given how much I like both Brian and Emily.   I hated seeing Team Doleman fight so hard every week, only to watch them walk away empty handed, with no second chances.

Big Break NFL 6: The Infamous Doleman Double

On Big Break NFL last night, we saw some good shots, some bad shots and some really ugly shots… The Good – Shannon’s 7 point score from 125 yards; too bad she wasn’t “good enough” in the eyes of her team leader to own a double The Bad – Al’s attempts at up and down.  It just was NOT his …
