The Mad Scientist

Anthropomorphic Milk
You can take solace in the fact that your generosity didn't go unnoticed, Anthropomorphic Milk. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like The Mad Scientist succeed this week. Who knows, maybe they'll return the favor by taking a couple of defenses early in next year's draft... or something like that!
