But I shall try.
Jim Davis and Steve Martin
Thanks for highjacking me sitting outside my home like two mobsters ready to take me on my last ride. I don't think I would have came if it were not for you two. The ride to John's was cray, funny, and cool. The ride home was insightful, reflective, and productive. Jim, I have been trying to get in touch with you but I know what's up. My prayers are with you and your mom. Jimmy, you are a Hall of Famer in my books.
Big John Marting
Thanks for putting me up Wednesday Night. I had an awesome time learning the Mid-Ohio ruleset and scrimmaging with you. Sorry I couldn't make it to the Saturday Night deal. I'll be in touch with you.
Corey and Crew
Thanks for the fantastic Thursday morning. I appreciate you allowing me to tag along for the Hall of Fame trip. It was great getting to know you brothers. I have so many pictures of my favorite HOFers including Marcus Allen. My son has the same name. Your peeps are super cool dude.
Lynn Schmidt
I really got to know you!
Leave a sleeping wolf alone! Lynn, you are the driving force of what this hobby is all about. I enjoyed your company, the scrimmage, moving tables, and drinking your coffee even when it was cold. If you had stepped down as our leader I doubt we would be playing today in Canton. You are clearly in this for the greater good.
THE BREAKFAST CLUB
Al Dunham, Tim Young, Phil Gilliam. You guys made each and every breakfast the very best. Allowing me to tag along is something I will always appreciate. Moreover, I learned that great guys, like yourselves, attend this convention strictly for the love of the hobby. You guys are the real MFers. You are purists, and some of the best people I have ever met in life, not just MF. Al, playing those Zombies against the mighty Sabsquatch team was a true highlight. That Ray Nitschke and Charles Mann are awesome. Tim, I heard about the tweak off thing and we all had a great laugh about it. I think that you deserve to see what it is like to have some real horses so that you can enjoy the sporting side. Phil, I have known you for over ten years now, I love you like a brother, and I will always have your back. You know what I mean.
Kevin Boddie
Thanks for making our CBSMF game one of the easiest, non controversial, games I have played in years. We both knew what the right thing was and we made it happen. You are a classy coach with mad game and I would love to see you hoist a trophy some day.
RJ, Manuel, and Teresa
Some great people here. RJ and I could be brothers. This dude is so real I don't have to hold anything back. Always a giver and to see you put together a team that fast and darn near win says a lot about you skills. We both need to hit more passes though. You have a great family and you are truly blessed. One person I truly look forward to seeing.
RD
The "Calming Hand". Yeah, I did want to go off. Thanks for the historical perspective of ShootOut and your calming hand. Your honesty, with me, will always dispel any spin. You are a straight forward, brutally honest person who wants what is best for everybody. You are a true asset to the hobby.
Joe Greco and Ed Roche, Zack, and Ryan)
Gentlemen, I was a mentor to youngsters long before I had my first child. It was an honor and priviledge to work with them on their shots or whatever. it is one of the things I do instinctively. Ed, you know how much I trust and respect you beyond the hobby. Joe, thanks for your tireless efforts while always trying to do what is right, not favorable. I look forward to seeing the four of you again!
Joe Allore
You will be in the HOF one day. Your endless dedication to making our playing experience better cannot be ignored. Not once have I not seen you show up at an event with a way to do something better. Hail to the Victors baby!
Bruce Watts
Do you know that this was truly the first time we didn't rip on each other? Although it's fun it was great for me to see what you see. Your HOF date is coming as well due to your innovative art works posing as MF players. You truly want to do what's best for the consumer and I for one appreciate that. I can't wait to get my Giants going for this year. Until I purchased that Giants board I really doubted whether I was going to partidcipate this year. I now have a legitimate home field. It's on now! Thanks Mega!
Matt Culp
Thanks for letting me right in the Silverhorse, er Rocket. That car is sweet dude. I hope to see you back in the saddle again soon, like Brian. You deserve it brother! Giddyup!
Rose Rutledge
Reginald is right about you and quite franky I think the only thing "PT "has undersold is you. You are one of the nicest, gracious, and classiest persons I have met and Reginald should be proud as he is. God bless the both of you and you shall always be in my prayers.
Andre Codgill
I could have used that Rickey Williams!
Never trade that base and people will ask, trust me. Back to my point. Joe said that he would like to mentor you, embrace it. You constantly hype the game and other coaches, despite my jokes on the board, and promote any MF endeavor. You need to reward yourself by playing a little. Joe, and I, have your back. It was great having that sit down. Glad to be of service.
God Bless the MFCA
I know I missed some people. I shall repost when my senior moment passes.
