The funniest part about this is Cassius Darrow didn't know. It took 2 days for word to get to him.
Cassius Darrow has cemented himself as a man outside his era when it comes to technology; while many other players have signed copious brand deals and curated a social media following, Darrow has always been notably absent. That made it all the stranger when, out of nowhere, Darrow ended up with social media. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and even a Google+ account! Someone was posting photos, highlight videos, and random thoughts all across the Internet. Fans and fellow hockey heads were shocked and skeptical. When the person behind the account--in less than a day--started posting links to donate to Lambert House, a nonprofit that Darrow has worked with over the last few seasons, people started to think it was legit. Then people saw it linked to a random PayPal and Johnny Hamilton went to work. A crack team of IT professionals and cyber sleuths tracked the fake accounts back to one "Gary" Rush in Galway, Ireland. Local police were notified and the accounts were all shut down. Gareth Rush couldn't hang in the SHL, and he certainly is incapable of rubbing enough brain cells together to hide his crimes in plain sight. Darrow, notoriously a technology laggard, had left his cell phone at home when Seattle went on a road swing. His young nephews had a great deal of fun playing with the phone, and ignoring the many texts from current and former SHLers. Imagine player agent Johnny Hamilton's face when Darrow's phone finally picked up after a day of ignored calls just to have a small child started talking to him. Hamilton eventually got word to Seattle GM Tiggie Smalls and Argonauts teammate Jean-Uhtred Ragnarsson-Tremblay to let Darrow know the strange current events. |
