Welcome back to The Final Buzzer!

After gaining acceptance from the Who’s Playing Who? nation, I’ve been allowed to write another article! Like that prison inmate who was put into solitary confinement and is now being released back into Gen Pop, I’m back and ready to cause more carnage. Read more…
