Not that it matters at this point, especially at the pro level, but McGuffin still serving above his waist on the squat.
Feel bad for Koop at the end she flopped it big time
Tyson's great for the game but that serve is ridiculous
@cbs Why is the contrast so high on your cameras? Looks terrible
It's Schneeman/McGuffin, who is this announcer 3x getting names backwards ??? Fire him, Now !!!
So much for the paddle challenge!
