Thanks, Hambone, That is a good one. I love baseball history. God Bless, Joe Jackson. I have a friend who has a charming saying, in conversation. She always asks: ''Is that so?'' In this case, it is so.Hambone wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 7:57 pmTo steal a line from the kid talking to "Shoeless" Joe Jackson during the Black Sox Scandal "Say it ain't so Joe!".
I'll miss your contributions. I may not have always agreed but absolutely always respected the passion and thought put into them. I respect that a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do and hope that your absence is brief.
Thanks, BC 1988. No pressure. Ha ha Much appreciated.BC 1988 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 8:17 pmviewtopic.php?f=5&t=27274
I found the thread where WCJ left in 2013. (My first post is on page 3 of the thread).
Maybe history will repeat itself? I for one, am grateful he decided to return back then (but no pressure!!).
I echo B.C. Fan's comments. You have been a key contributor as well as a leader for this usually excellent football website site.

I'm sad you are taking a break because you will be sorely missed.
I'm hoping very much to see you back on Lionbackers at some point in the future and to be able to read your insights and thoughts again.
Take good care.
Thanks, Johnny.JohnnyMusso wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 9:03 amJoe I have a suggestion for you. Why don't you just post occasionally after Lions football games or after big news like a firing or major player cut or traded? Posting once a week probably will give you the time away you need and still give you a bit of a football fix. I have a feeling the rest of the season is going to get really interesting.
Ditto for me.

You've always been a positive, helpful contributor to this site and your understanding of the game is superb. You've also been supportive of those attacked by the overly personal attacks.
These forums should be fun and not a source of stress.
Yes, as we get older some things seem bigger than they should be and sometimes small things we'd ignore when we're busy on other things get magnified - speaking personally here as well.
While it can be hard not to take things personally, my movie hero (met him once in a Sausalito pub) Clint Eastwood has a great response to those who offend us with their WRONG opinions lol:
Thanks, David.David wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 10:07 amVery sorry to learn about this West Coast Joe. Your keen football insights have been an integral part of this site. I don't know if people recognize all of the efforts you put into your posts, from finding links and screen grabs to breaking down line play to detailed post-game analyses.
Unfortunately, your assessment of our club's woes was always spot-on and unfailingly thorough(kidding about the 'unfortunately' part of course....such is the dumpster fire that is the 2019 thus far).
This site was clearly a passion for you. Sad to read that the passion is gone, but I do hope you return when the time is right.

You beat me to it, BC 1988. I was just about to find that thread.BC 1988 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 8:17 pmviewtopic.php?f=5&t=27274
