May it fall into the ocean along with all of the west coast teams. GO RANGERS!

I definitely see this as news... He is teaching us a lesson... If he would have signed with us a couple of years ago... That same house... Probably would have cost him 6 or 7 mil... He's a very smart shopper... Thanks Torii

Oh sure just keep on rubbing it to our faces with this story. Were's the humanity !!!

He "bagged" the house. Paying for it or taking out a mortgage on it would be for meer mortals. Hunter "bagged" his house.

Well said my pinstriped lovin' friend. Hunter probably had that much in the couch cushions.

Report Offensive Comment

Sure, but does it have hardwood floors?
