Hey MDS,
Nice to see the Chris Gocong story here. He’s a smart guy, a mild mannered guy, and it’s a nice story.
We celebrate the Turdism (in a manner, we do celebrate it), so we should celebrate the scholasticism and good citizenship and charity as well. And you guys do that. Thanks….

Reading that article about Lynch is upsetting in a way.
“It was stressful,” she said of knowing her son might be in trouble. “It could’ve happened to anybody. In this case, it was Marshawn. Hopefully, he’ll learn and be OK.”
Nothing about the lady who got hit. It doesn’t happen to anyone. I don’t know anyone who has been involved in a hit and run.

I was a golf-cart boy at a private club in Boca Raton, FL in high school. I personally saw Lawrence Taylor drive a par 4 shot to the edge of the green. In Florida. No hills or bluffs to help get distance. It was around 375 yards.
