McDuck No. 1 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Long rumored, now confirmed. His performance last night was pathetic.

McDuck Author No. 2 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Rather obvious he didn't enjoy his time in Eugene. "My family and I are very excited for this opportunity," Moorhead said in a statement.
