SO yeah, I click it and I start reading the comments in the thread.

-------------------
Now for a little update.
I will be doing these "Who is" article things. But not really that often, whenever I see someone who has talent and is underrated. Also if I do one on someone it doesn't mean there on the team, leland is just special. And I know leland isn't that unknown but he sure is on other sites so this is mainly for them.
So keep watching and subscribing. More vids too.
