I just told you what a struggle it is for us realists to have to tell you this stuff over and over. Brandon not only was intimately involved, they only signed Spikes because Russ went out and scouted him, watched the tape and then told Rex to play a defense where Spikes would be able to contribute. Time to get your head of the clouds and realize that Russ is also the one who was responsible for the 2008 housing market crash, but I guess kool aid drinkers like you just want more kool aid and you don't mind if the team sucks for another 16 years.
