Very good list my friend. Jsut one question though...did you mean you hate Yankees from the Northeast states? You said Northwest, and that would mean me...and Blake Lewis.

Scott Blog said...

Yes I meant the northeast, I actually just noticed that and changed it. Blake got blown away tonight I thought.
