So, they got this puzzle, a crossword they call it. And in this puzzle, they askin’ about who plays in the same place as them Raptors basketball fellas. Now, I ain’t no city slicker, but even I know them Raptors gotta share their home, ain’t no one team big enough to own the whole shebang, ya know?
Now, some smarty-pants folks, they went and looked it up. They got these fancy computers and databases, and they say there’s a bunch of answers, like maybe 30 or even 40! Can ya believe it? That’s more chickens than I got in my coop! But we ain’t lookin’ for just any answer, we want the right one, the one that fits that there crossword puzzle.
What’s the deal with this arena thing anyway?
