A dick, kids would run over to his car and he wouldn't roll the window down or go right thru the light, a good player for us but a dick nonetheless
Ahhh that's too bad. Well, I was never having him over for dinner but Chad to a wide open Coles 18 yards downfield was one of my favotite plays. _
Great story and great punter. I just wish he didn't throw like a girl, but then that's probably why he wound up more of a punter than QB.
Ok, here's my Boomer story. My son was born 2 days before that game, c-section so my wife was in the hospital for a week. As this was our 4th and final child, we were dicking around with each other about names. She got the two girls, I got the one boy, so we had a little agreement. If it was a girl, she could pick the name. If it was a boy, and the Jets won on that Sunday, I could name him Boomer. Recall, had we won that game we would have been tied for first and on our way to the playoffs. If we lost, we would name him Thomas after my father-in-law. We actually had a written contract (it was in a cocktail napkin) agreeing to the deal. We watched the game in Teaneck Hospital in their brand new Baby Wing. The whole game I'm calling him Boomer, talking smack as her incision is healing, unable to make any forceful comebacks. We named him Thomas. True story. _
