Once again, Marshall can’t let a completely innocuous thread (about jersey numbers!) go by without using it as a springboard for attacking other posters — TWICE. And once again, he somehow believes this proves he’s a “better fan.” One might wonder what compels this behavior . . .
What compels my behavior....decades of empirical evidence.
The NY Yankees once had a phenom named Kevin Maas. Pressed into service for an injured Don Mattingly, he hit 21 home runs in 79 games. A dead pull lefty hitter with marquee good looks, fans struggled to contain their enthusiasm. On opening day of the next season Maas was engulfed in adoring fans seeking an autograph as he tried to enter the stadium.
At the very same time, unnoticed and unimpeded, I saw the great Joe Dimaggio exit a limo, not 45 feet away and enter the Yankee offices. Maas would play one full season of major league baseball.
I actually feel sorry for Drew Allar. He can be a pretty damn good QB and he will be considered a disappointment by an unrealistic fanbase.
Why would anyone give 2 ***** what number he wears?
