0 Subject: Tonight's 10/31 Arthur - Trick or Treat?

Posted by: G - [369542914] Fri, Oct 31, 2008, 16:57
Sorry Blooki - I had to break your monopoly on the thread titles.

With Barnes burning last night, up to 44% of the teams will be looking for a new player. At least based on yesterdays buys, this Arthur character seems to be one of about 4 main guys people are looking at. Will he be the "treat" train everyone hopes for in TSN or is he going to be one big scary trick??

Haha, I wasn't really singling you out or implying that butchering his name was a bad thing. Just commenting that it's amusing that one man's fifteen minutes of fame (or longer) involves masses of people making attempts to approximate the spelling of your name.

He didn't see a second in the final 10 minutes
