I posted this just to irritate people and make them mad. I would like to send a special thank you out to all those who will get their panties in a bunch over anything PBF related. Post as much as you like I need to get my points up for more bets.

GRAND RAPIDS -- Times are tough, but 500 Southeast Side residents can cross the Thanksgiving turkey off their list of worries.
The Floyd Mayweather Foundation and several local churches teamed up to give turkeys to those in need.
Sisters Bonnie and Henrittie Shaver arrived at Duthler Family Foods, 1226 Madison Ave. SE, about 9 a.m. to get in line for the Monday afternoon giveaway.
Bonnie, 50, was beaming as she walked out of the store with her turkey.
"I can't wait to put it on the table," said Bonnie, who babysits for a living. "I'm making dressing from scratch. I'm going to have a nice Thanksgiving.
"It means a lot for (Mayweather) to do this. It's great to give to people that don't have it."
Mayweather's foundation matched donations from a dozen churches in the area to provide the turkeys. It was the fourth-annual such giveaway in which Mayweather, the Grand Rapids-native boxing champ, has participated.
Mayweather is filming a reality TV show in Las Vegas and couldn't make the giveaway, but foundation representatives said he was there in spirit.
"Even though he might not have a physical presence, his heart is still here," said foundation executive assistant Brandy McCallum.
A free turkey brightened the spirits of Margaret Gates, 58, who went to the store with her two-year-old grandson, Kertril.
"I think it's great. It's such a nice thing," said Gates, who joked that she'd make the turkey last until Christmas.
