Teddy is more like Drew than any other QB on the planet

I read about half the article... Some of these websites like the Advocate have so much unrelated crap & advertisements on their page that it takes forever to load the damn page just to read the article.

I understand, but it's the only way they can stay in business. I started in newspapers over forty years ago and my college roommate/best man/fellow photographer just retired a couple of months ago from the Raleigh News & Observer. We've talked about his very subject many times leading up to his retirement. You are not alone. People would read a print article through, but when battling popups and such the average person seldom reads past the first few paragraphs, or for many, the headline, which is much worse.

If you are looking at this on a CPU, get Ublock, works wonders for the never ending ads that pop up. I think you can use it on your phone to if I am not mistaken but I am not 100% on that.

Just an awareness comment. The digital realm isn't the easiest thing to stay alive in. Take this site for instance, Halo has to fund it somehow either donations or click advertising; I give him credit for finding a very nice balance. He doesn't do it alone. With out the unpaid moderation done by people like Papz, or the articles posted by Guido, jeanpierre, Whodat, etc... this place doesn't make it.

For all that you guys do.. Thank you!
