THE RUMOUMETER - Holiday "Rum-Mometer" Special Edition

This is where you usually find The Yorkies' regular off-season rumour roundup - "The Rumoumeter". However, since it's the holidays and we've mainly been on a food and drink drip for a week, today's edition is a bit different. With the Arnold Peralta/Jeff Larentowicz rumours out of the way we hit our sources (courtesy of the LCBO) for some TFC holiday whispers. 30% of the time they will be true half of the time. The Rumoumeter will be back properly next week but for now... Some of the rumours have weight - others little more than whispers; we take their temperature with... "The Rum-Mometer"...
