I actually thought it was pretty good work on Elway. The best work done on Elway was in the Louisiana Superdome on January 28th 1990. Quality work, right there... Elway played in five Super Bowls, and won a couple times. Not bad. Hey Tommy, please refresh my memory - how many times have the Flaming...

Bees in Arizona Sting Man To Death
Bee swarms are a relatively common and sometimes dangerous occurrence in Arizona. In 2015, for example, one man survived 500 to 1,000 stings after disturbing a hive. Months later, six people were injured in another swarm.

And you could do worse for a show than having to look at Alexandra Daddario in a bikini and less for most of the episodes. She's a good actress, of course. But wowsers.
Ummm, I wasn't familiar with her work. Big fan now.

Also, Jennifer Coolidge is off the charts great in the show.
