Seriously Galvan.....
I sat and read the whole thing from start to finish…..
I’m just a lurker…..I’ve been coming here since the all star break, and have only posted like 5 or 6 times…..
It was something (on the off day), that I looked forward to, with no game to watch anyway…..
I figured maybe
people prefer a distraction at work over taking something out of their “free time”?

Well
I couldn’t do the game while I was at work, so i figured id take some of my free time to let people unwind a little, No biggie thought.
Sucks that tonights game was rained out though
