When Roy Hobbs was a teenager, he once impregnated every nun in a convent tucked away in the Himalaya mountains. 9 months later, the nuns all gave birth to the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the only undefeated and untied team in NFL history.

Kevin Garnett first refused to come to Boston because he was afraid Roy Hobbs would start over him.

That's 20 pages, Po.   ;D

I agree with the last sentence, though.  Misinformation is definitely more my style.  ;)

A common misconception: the Pilgrims didn't cross the Atlantic ocean on a ship. Roy Hobbs carried them to the New World on his back. "The Mayflower" was just his nickname in college.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.
