Did you deliberately leave off Josh because he won't play week 1? Are all the others actually active for week 1?

Shame, shame, SHAME on you 1016. He is the only reason people east of the Missouri have heard of Wyoming. You might have to relinquish that tattoo for this mishap.

Whatever happened to Ghaifan? I thought he had a shot, but a quick google leads me only to info on his legal issues.

I'm gonna double down on the Wyoming ink, regardless of my mishaps!

Looks like Ghaifan is playing for the Massachusetts Pirates of the IFL. Appears to have 5 tackles in 2 games. 2 TFL and 0.5 sacks.

Had no idea Brian Hill is now with the Titans. As a Titans fan I'm stoked, between Derrick Henry and Brian Hill that's a formidable backfield
I'm good for 3!

I am still pissed off at that guy. I shouldn't be I guess, but what a dumbass...

And then, there is the f-word lie:

"Ghaifan arrives in Massachusetts via the University of Wyoming. Having sat out most of the 2018 football season, his redshirt junior year, Ghafain considered transferring. Oklahoma State, Oregon, and Kansas State all showed interest but he decided to move on from the college game."

Total poop. He didn't "decide" to move on from the college game...the courts decided it for him. :evil:
Dear Karma,

I have a list of people you missed...

Good find. Hmmm...ziprecruiter says average salary of $37,076. That will probably soon be less than college ballers. Not bad I guess if it is only a 3-4 month commitment. I thought he might at least be in Canada.

I was the stadium announcer for the short-lived Cheyenne Warriors of the Indoor Professional Football League. I can assure you that $37,000 is WAY more than most IFL players make. I'd be willing to bet that most of them don't make more than a couple hundred bucks a game.
