    Kenny and Drew are quality guys. They have egos, for sure, but you never hear them complain about anything. They just give you their all, every game. Nice to see our two local boys get more National team opportunities. They deserve it.

    I don’t see any comments on the former Dallas player Cory Gibbs. If I remember he didn’t really sell out for the shirt and only used us to be seen by Arena. I think we missed the po’s in his one season. Okay I see why no mention. :mrgreen:

    herdmentality: you must be joking! Have you ever met Kenny or Drew? They are about as far from egotistical as you can get. Kenny especially is a very humble person.
