Maxman Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 Maxman, any contract details available? No I just checked the wire and it still says: Contract details were not disclosed. Should be able to find out soon though. This kid is interesting though because of the hyroid problem. Curious to see how it all works out for him.
