🔥 THE SHIT TALK

Kris owns the historical edge, which means Kian gets another chance to pretend the previous 16 meetings were all bad luck. Kian took the last meeting 160.28–93.76. The history lean is Kris; if that goes to shit by Sunday night, nobody gets to act surprised because this league is run by idiots.

🔥 THE SHIT TALK

Michael and Justin are basically dead even historically, which is a polite way of saying neither one has earned the right to talk this much shit. Justin took the last meeting 143.70–136.72. The history lean is Michael, an honor worth approximately fucking nothing once the games start.
