🎪 NEW: WITNESSED THIS WEEK IN TOWSON
Have you seen this man?
How serious do you take your fantasy football league?
Apparently there is a group of folks from Towson who take theirs VERY seriously and should you find yourself in last place, the penalties can be quite embarrassing. For example, the gentleman pictured below, who is apparently known for his social media rants about conservative politics, agreed to pay the ultimate penatly for coming in last place. He can bee seen below living out his worst nightmare in Towson Circle. (disclaimer: The Torch doesn’t recommend standing or holding signs in the circle!)
We think we know who he is - but respond to this email if you know this man!
