Hey, this is going to sound really ridiculous, but you’re not my 17-year-old red-headed little brother are you? If so, I think your school project got a little out of hand. If not, very sorry for bothering you, but my little bro is also Zach Everson, and I think he had mentioned a website for school or some crap like that.

Fun in the Sun at the NFL Pro Bowl
I figured if I was going to have to watch the Pro Bowl, I might as well get paid for doing so. So I pitched on-site coverage to Deadspin’s editor. He bit and you lose.
