                    Additionally, he says, "The government isn't rating people. It's done by a third party. We share government data and they decide what it means."

                    That's like the US handing over money to the Fed... ug..

                      I'm applying an "It's not me" mentality. I've never seen anything like it in the world so we'll see where it goes.

                                        A little light reading. What jumps out at me is there are zero modern day QB's that are in the list. Rules now enforced make it so easy on the receivers. That's why when I see QB records fall, it's like watching HRs in the steroid era.
