[QUOTE="Spanish Rose, post: 491638, member: 1541"] Now don't get me wrong, he's no incompetent ******* who plays this game like its madden like a giddy child.. He's a man who makes the tough decisions and gets the job done.. I've grown on him a lot since he gave us a chip and respect him for that, but there's holes in his game that doesn't put him at the top with Kraft or even Reese.

So they got the equal or greater production to replace Canty And saved cap space..
