Shhhhhh, don't tell him, but Phyllo's friend's fantasy league is difficult to navigate, what with the waiver rules, large roster sizes, and number of competitors. Gotta keep up with your prospect news.

I've said it many times, but I cannot stress enough how hard it is to play drums and sing at the same time.
More on that "insanely sick drummer" part...
