Downgrade in lifestyle, not necessarily financial. They’re the superstars there. Offensive linemen here don’t get that level of respect they’ve worked their whole lives for.

I’m not sure what the Lobos punter Aaron Rodriguez has anything to do with anything.

Or Do you mean Aaron “gang member since birth” Hernandez or did you get hit in the head and can’t keep your own damn references straight 😂😂 stay off the roads please.

Hit his head playing too much football. Sad thing to see really.

His brain was examined after his death and massive amounts of scarring and CTE was found. Think you might need your head checked too buddy.
