January 9th, 2008 | by: chris | Comments(1)

I meant to release the roster, until I realzied it still hasn’t been whittled down to the 23-man final version from the 27 man not-so-final version, and as soon as that happens, we can get down to business – although a couple of these names seem likely to the first to the chopping block.
