Almost game time.... Some good things from the Pre Game show... Mike and Tommy said that they were at a lunch today where Perk and Al did a stand up routine that would have been a hit in any comedy club. I just love the chemistry on this team.
They interviewed Perk and he said "This is definitely Paul's club but it is also mine." I love this kid. He is also chomping at the bit to come back or as he said to Max "I need to let the beast out of the cage."
Doc says that Green is working hard and that the Phoenix game was perfect for him because it was a no defense game for both teams. He said that he will keep playing hard and find himself some minutes.
