Wonder if Quade erased A-Ram and penciled in DeWitt.

Hello All!!! Been busy but have returned for start of our NEXT 6+ gm win streak!!!

In all seriousness… my Dad (sitting here) doesn’t understand BCB sarcasm directed towards The Franchise. Would anyone be kind enough to enlighten him? (Tho 5-11 in last 4 gms)… /ducks…turns screen towards Dad/

The sarcasm will be there when it's appropriate.

Yes

Quade believes a career backup IF (DeWitt) should play the backup OF position. Only the Franchise player could get away with that.

The curb has been sold

Sooth?

Truth, yes he does, it is his usage of words and how he fails to accept that others may have differing opinions that hurt him.

Not trying to get drawn into anything "nasty"

I generally enjoy his comments, I do realise that is repeated use of some comments upsets some members, some of whom I truly enjoy seeing here. /steps politely away from subject without meaning to offend ANYONE).
