Metro "Bum of the Decade" wasn't a hundred-way tie?
Jeremiah White a free agent... but does the Danish league still holds his rights? What if he wants to go to a certain club in Sveden but another club has put a Discovery Claim on him?
Holy crap the ABC newspaper with the scoop is the Anoka/Blaine/CoonRapids paper. Way to go my local peeps.

that bum of the decade list is hilarious (and sad). So many outstanding candidates!
Coon Rapids! What's next, a scoop out of Longville?
