Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we declared we’re done with sports after watching the New England Patriots squeak through yet another playoff game. Why did the Chiefs’ Dee Ford line up offsides?! The game was over! WHY?! I really can’t take it anymore and I might just unplug my TV on Super Bowl Sunday.
