ASFN Consultant and Senior Writer
First I want to thank everyone who’s said kind words about my contributions. I also want to thank those who’ve challenged me as I think we grow by questioning even things we’re sure we know.
I also want to indicate I am fine, although at 70 that’s a relative assessment. Let me also say, despite invitations, I have not and will not be posting on other NFL boards. I turned down a good paying offer earlier this year to write for an Internet Website, so that won’t be happening either. Also none of this has anything to do with abusive posts. I don’t think they have a place among real fans, but you don’t last as long as I have if you can’t take insults.
This year I got the first pick in the draft right. I got the second pick right. And among other prophecies I was correct about the first OT taken. I made all those calls well before the paid gurus endorsed these players. So I like the idea of going out on top. This was my best job since 2000 when I was hosting a chat on this board’s predecessor and correctly identified the Cards first 3 picks. Mike (the guy who brought me to this site) was in the press room at Cardinal headquarters and that result led to significantly increased paid talent evaluation opportunities for me. He said the room went wild when we hit on the third one. I was doing some evals before that but this event opened other doors.
Also though they’ll never know I’d like to thank Rivals of which this board was once part. That exposure led to me getting to know other key people like Dave Te.
Those of you old timers who send me emails, I must tell you I won’t be answering those questions any longer; sorry. A clean break is better.
Since I’m not passing away you may see me at times monitoring the board. I’m going to try to refrain from posting, but I’m still interested in what you folks have to say.
It’s been grand!
