Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 4
Never even thought about Derek Carr. Nice one
EDIT: I was about 97% sure Fouts would be the highest score but not by this much

Damn I wimped out on Jim Everett because I figured we all would think of the Chris Everett interview

Quickly typed out Montana, Young and Wilson and was gonna stop there and pick one and then thought of Fouts at the last sec and changed. Classic mistake.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
