The NFL Playoffs are not disappointing (sorry, Krissy), and with everyone talking about how well Josh Allen has been playing, I guess now is a good time to tell you all about a pizza we don’t advertise on the menu—The Josh Allen. We jokingly called it that because of the Buffalo sauce, but it turns out it’s absolute fire and tastes even better for NFL games. Some order it without arugula, and that’s okay. Do hops count as a leafy green? IT DOES!

It’s “Rookies Season”
Definition: “Rookies Season” is a term coined to describe a period during the year when multiple major sports are concurrently in season. This term encompasses the exciting overlap when various sporting leagues, such as football, basketball, baseball, and hockey, have their competitions taking place simultaneously. It’s a time of heightened sports enthusiasm and engagement, offering fans a diverse array of games and matchups to follow and enjoy.
