Start“DGAF”
Dan Norvell has no doubt done a lot of no-handers in life time, but probably none in a place as strange as this.

Sponsor Block, Injured List, and Fine Print…Yes! The Sponsor Block tips the scales once again and reigns over the Injured List, while Fine Print comes in last, but not least.
