This is our annual tribute to Devil Rays, the fish.
This screen grab comes from the video for Chris Brown’s song “Holla At Me” (thanks Cory). And for some reason, Brown is wearing old school Devil Rays jacket and cap. Of course, most of you probably know Brown better as the guy that plead guilty to felony assault for beating up [...]
