16 pounds? Not a very big guy… :)
This lad needs to eat lots of carbs before fall training camp
Does opinion 250 have a proof reader? They seem to have alot of typing and grammar errors.
Given the talent this team has been able to ice for the past decade, why not try out a fellow who weighs as muh as a 2-week-old newborn?! Might confuse or distract the opposition enough to allow for a goal or two!
In fact, while you’re at, replace Dallas with a 16-pound turkey. Better results guaranteed.
remember though – he did play in the SMAAALL
league. Yes article does not have the same zing as the regular cougar beat writer – Submitted Article.
walrus, you made my day. Had a great laugh by your observation. SMAAAHL (small).
and how do you cook a 16Lbs Dallas? giblets in or out?
