I don't really remember this guy but he is w/ Grand Rapid. I am hoping to get into the AFL this year. My wife thinks I watch enough football but w/ Troth, Barrie and now Burns I have reason to watch. Plus they are coming out w/ a PS2 Arena football game soon.

HMO I haven't gotten it yet but wanted to go by one of the stores in town to see if they have it set up to play. I think the rosters in the game were from November so they may have Barrie or Troth.

I believe he went by a different name

If my memory serves me correctly, i think its William " Rock" haith. Most people called him Rock when he played for LU.
