I've been gone for several weeks but I've returned for a few before I'm gone for several more.
I figured I'd go ahead and tip my hat to folks around here while I'm about because I've had a lot of solid football conversations with folks for the last few years and I wanted to let folks know that I really appreciate that.
I started posting here to just talk about football and share with Bucs fans as we've all been ailing for a good long while. But two things:
1) We've finally got a tourniquet on it and we're no longer watching ourselves slowly bleed out. We've finally won again. Finally.
2) Its become clear to me that conversations about things that people care about will always be personal to some people. Conversations about football can't just be about football. Its inevitably going to be about social cache and credibility and the personalities and people behind the words.
That (1) feels like an exorcism. That (2) I'm not interested in.
So I appreciate you guys. I'm glad for the conversations we've had. And I'm glad that they can come to an end because the dragon of perpetual losing has been slain.
Be well and goodbye!
