By Christopher Boyd -
While watching the draft, I had this thought: do they just have jerseys for every team for ever guy? That seems like A) a complete waste of cloth, and B) the preparation for a MASSIVE mis-information campaign by distributing the unused jerseys. Alternatively, if it takes them all of 30 seconds to print up a jersey for that player for that team, why does it take them WEEKS to get me MY jerseys? Moving on...
There's only one more day till free agency begins, and I have a feeling it's going to be fast and furious, with how few agents there are. To help pass the time, enjoy this poem... I spent all of 5 minutes on it, so it should be really mediocre.
The draft is done, the picks are in,
We all now wait for FA to begin.
What fait awaits we do not know,
Perhaps some new D, or then again no.
The one thing that's sure, we all can agree,
We'll still wear the colors: the red and the green.
With that said... on to The Walk!
