The 2014 Rookie Class: Chris B. Corey
(Editor’s note: before each season, we like to meet our expansion franchises. This year, we have five rookies. Thanks to Karl Farbman for the background once again.)
This is not Chris B. Corey’s first rodeo. He is another franchise that has returned to the league after a brief absence. However, his sabbatical was not by choice; Chris was suspended indefinitely after the 2009 season because of conduct detrimental to the league. His record before this absence was actually quite good (and can be found here). In his final season, he commented that “Money ain’t a thang” and refused to place any bets the last few months of the season. This resulted in a rule change (two consecutive weeks of no bets means a forfeit for the rest of the year, which is known as “The Chris B. Corey Rule” in some circles). He is surely out for blood this season, but one wonders if his love of Prada and Louis Vuitton accessories will rattle his focus and outweigh his ability to handicap games.
