    For entertainment, not because I am taking this character seriously.

    I think not many countries have different time zones within themselves?

    So let me get this straight?

    People here literally thought this was a real rumor and a trade might actually happen at 5:45 because Burt freakin Steele put it on Twitter?

    You guys realize that Burt Steele is almost certainly a GARM poster who created the account as a joke just to mess with clutchfans right? Go look up the first person to bring up Burt in a thread here. That person is likely the one who started the Twitter account.

    I swear y'all are like crack addicts with this insider stuff. I'm sure Morey and the front office laugh their a$$es off reading this stuff.

    Burt Steele is sitting on a yacht pounding scotch and women with a giant cigar in his mouth laughing at us. I hope that boat sinks.

    "If

    If you can keep your head when all about you;
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too.
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

    If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster,
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

    If you can make a heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!" - Rudyard Kipling


    We believe in Burt Steele, but does Burt Steele believe in himself?

    I really apologize. I'm thinking this breaks at the end of the week since so many reports said early this week.

    Maybe the deal is finalized, but we just haven't heard about it yet ?

    God no... what am I, an idiot?

    I thought this was a real rumor and the trade would happen before 5:45, not at 5:45
