Weave

Zucker’s comment is an excellent piece of evidence that the “don’t block the kids” strategy was doomed to failure. For most of the last 14 seasons this team was woefully short of players like Zucker. It still is, really.

I was a racing fanatic for a long time. All of it. Ovals, dirt, Indy, F1, bikes, boats. But nascar most vehemently. I lost interest when the driver I rooted for aged out. I rediscovered my love for F1 a couple of years ago. I just wish more races were in a western hemisphere time zone. 😁

You had better not ***** vacate this place for next season. So help me deity of your choice.

This team still needs reinforcement that winning is the sole expectation. Drafting 6 instead of 7 really doesn’t matter at all.

I would like nothing more than for the team to come out with their hair on fire, give an inspiring effort, maybe knock a head or two, and really give the fans in attendance a good show. They deserve it. But I am sure this will be a run for the bus effort from both teams.

My recollection is, Alex Tuch was much more direct in saying playoffs were the goal than KAs comments indicated. But I am old and feeble and my memory should not be trusted.

Amiright? 😁

At the 10 year mark of our era of futility I made the point that we have pissed away an entire athlete’s generation.

And its not like Girgs lumped up the guy that threw the hit. He grabbed arms with someone and then something happened in that wrestling match that pissed the two players off. Girgs wasn’t so much coming to the aid of a hurt teammate as much as he was engaging in the requisite group hug that usually ensues, and someone pissed on someone else’s cheerios and they both got mad at each other.

I have said it before. Nearly every player on this roster (this goes for last season too) is good enough to be a regular contributor on a playoff team. The talent is there. The team building and team management sucks. My bet is he signed with TB with the understanding that he might need to drop the gloves to keep his roster spot. I feel weird about it. He’s not that kind of player at all, and I am sure he is well outside his comfort zone doing it. It’s kind of…….. sad, or disrespectful in a way, that a guy who isn’t that guy has decided to be that guy for one last paycheck. His choice, of course. But I don’t understand the animosity towards him doing it now when it was never the type of person he was back when he was young. Leopards and spots. I don’t think he changed his.

I don’t believe in faith or hope. I guess that is a no.
