Funny right at end of the pregame they showed a
graphic of Sonic's player, the Glove perhaps.
I understand few outside of Seattle give af but
a few still remember. #sonicgate #fishercob

Had a good time hanging with PIF last night. A mensch and true Wizards die hard. He fusses with every pick. Truly enjoyable watching him try to cope in real time then totally fail and cuss out the fates. All while instructing other bar patrons in the greatest film makers ever etc. And watching pretty girls walk by. PIF is my spirit animal, I only hope I grow old with that much feistiness and spirit.

I get a text this morning though that he stepped off a curb and broke his elbow, shoulder and hurt his ribs. Well damn. Injury to insult. And _I_ was the one who had 3 ciders and a shot of tequila. He just had a sandwich and a coke.

Anyway he said it’ll be a while before he’s able to type comfortably so will be out of pocket and off board for a while. I told him to call me if he needs to rant and I will translate for him. While totally misinterpreting whatever he says. :clown:

We planned to meet up for games next year but now I dunno. He keeps stepping into traffic whenever we are due to hang out. I know you have to relish disaster to be a fan of this team but that’s taking it a little too far.

That's awful. Prayers up for PIF. Let him know his Wizfan brethren wish him a speedy recovery.

Lol. I’m sure he’ll read this. Now you can just insult him and he can’t respond.

I find it more suspicious that you two had drinks together, there's a break in the story, and then somehow you end up home unscathed and he's in the hospital. You want to tell us the real story?

Actually the first time I met him he had scratches from fighting with a curb. I think it’s very on brand that he will pick fights with the forces of gravity and the earth itself.

Even more impressed with this board after wandering onto two others after the draft, something I haven't done in a few years. First I went to the Utah board and no one had even bothered to post recently either before the draft or after it. Despite the Bailey pick. Then I went to New Orleans and the post draft thread only had one poster, the mod who started it. There was one other with a few brief comments but then I come back here and there's more volume and passion on our round 2 pick board. It just impressed me again how strong and passionate this fan base is.

Thank you all and may we someday again have a team worthy of it.

I'm sure PIF knows this but just in case... most editors like MS Word, etc, can take dictation.
