Congrats to GBS, and the Crew. What an honor it is to see him play. Regardless of what happens Sunday, he and Sigi deserve to be compensated for what they are doing for this massive franchise. Come on Crew, give these gentlemen what they deserve for bringing our beloved franchise to the top of the table!
