Now that the players have alienated me, I dont care about them anymore, so whats the point? They're like 90 year old hookers. You expect me to pay that much? For what?

The players, their hostages, like Brees, and the appeasers who should be managing them, have also forgotten that Football comes during beautiful
Fall days, when I could be kayaking, fishing, and playing outside.

So, social justice, standing up to The Man, whatever. I've lost interest. Have fun.

One idea no one else may have had already. This is a great board, with a lot of great people, many I know in real life, including the Late Great Foreverfan.
We should stay together, like the old Baltimore Colts Marching Band, which kept marching, even after the Colts left for Indianapolis. I plan to continue to visit the B&G, just to say hi. I dont know whether I will continue to organize gatherings. Im certainly going to miss the TailGating. But the CoronaHoax cut our crawfish party in half. I've made friends, for whom my
enjoyment transcends football, so I feel like our Houston group will continue.

I guess I can see where you are coming from. Kind of. But, the game for me is a relief and the ability to escape and pull for my team. I can still do that regardless of the individuals that play the game. To me, whether I agree or disagree with anything outside of the white lines with those players means less than what I get out of the game itself. I guess I am far more invested than most in the game.

As outspoken as I may seem, I let stuff roll off my back. It is almost impossible to ruffle my feathers.

That said, I also enjoy the sport of debate. Not too sporting with a few, but several step up for the game. Y'all each know who you are. Or should. Or are not able.
