I really don't know. Of course you do is Bill Roski. He swept it. Bill Kroski could kill two stones with one bird. Yeah. Man, it was going to be a great year. It was going to be a great year and then he vanished. What's funny is if you look at some of the... statistics of rookies this year. Bill Kroski ended up with a pretty good. I think he had the most rushing touchdowns for a rookie. Probably. He was just so sucked. Well, it was so unpredictable. It was twice. No, we knew when it was going to happen. Twice during weeks. It was when Crod went out. Yeah. Oh, no. Why was it Crodd in the nickname? Oh, man. It was a late addition. Now, Bill Crosky with 53% of the vote. I would have voted for Cardinals meltdown with 37% of the vote.

Meet Higgins was the third, and Jason is Cam Scoutaboo finished fourth. Meet Higgins. That's some staining power because that was super early. That was real early in the year. His meat.
