Oh, hey, rush. You're back. I thought it was pretty clear we finished things up on my last post.

But now that you're here again, we might as well make some small talk. It's the polite thing to do.

How's the weather your way? Just curious to hear about what colour the sky is in your world.

Ta for now

Told you he would sign a deal that was at least 10 million - in fact it's just under 11 million AAV on a 6 year term. Oh, and your favourite insider broke the news too - Darren Dreger

im very surprised u rembered this little quarrell. Impressive

I would have conceded and returned had the leafs signed him to a longer term deal under 10 million - for what it’s worth

Rush! My, man!


I forgot all about you. And feel a little sheepish to say this but I had to read back through this thread from a couple months ago to figure out who you were.. I remember now! You're the guy who sees a different colored sky in your world. Never forget that you're special too, Rush.

I'm kinda humbled that you remembered me and hat you thought highly enough of me to get back in touch after all these months. It's why the golden rule is important.. you just never know who you might come across and have no idea what kinda impact you might have on someone else's life.. remember to pay that one forward, Rush. It will serve you well in life.

I had a peak at the thread but I don't recall reading that I told you he wouldn't get what he pulled in (to be honest, though, I really didn't read this all again.. I'm just not that invested in this stuff)..

But from what I gleaned I think I was really trying to say was, Dreger is a knob. If that didn't come across clearly before, let me be blunt.. Dreger. Is. A . Knob.

And the poor fella. After staking his journalistic integrity on his inside scoop with Marner, and after the many thousands of people openly mocked him as "Paul" he wasn't even the guy who broke the news. That was Friedman.

Anyways, good catching up, Rush. Don't be a stranger and do stay in touch... (just not that often,maybe? K?)

Hugs,

Your not so close buddy,

Blowing the zone.

Wow... 2 things

1. Damn, that’s was deep
2. I was j at a Mets game yesterday and there we’re British people behind me and they taught me and my friends a bunch of British slang, including knob. I’ve never heard that before, but now the day after I learned it I j saw it again. U can’t make this stuff up.

Lol.

Glad to see you're still blowing, blowing the zone!

Missed you too, definitely enjoying my victory lap. Oh, and by the way, Dreger broke the news (read both the time stamps on their respective twitter feeds). Just because Friedman wrote it was "done", several minutes after Dreger brought his over 1 million followers to the party first letting them know it was 99% complete, doesn't mean he gets 100% credit. I know these types of details don't matter to you, since you've already made your mind up on Dreger, but the people who adhere to objectivity in this world probably care. Oh, and look who got the exclusive sit-down with Marner too? Our boy Dregs - another Win for the Insiders at TSN

Hey lil buddy, you're back.

I'm surprised to hear from you so soon, as I assumed our correspondence would resume its normal rythym of connecting every few months. But nonetheless, here you are. Again.

So, given that you keep showing up in my life it's only polite that I respond. Let me take a deep breath. Ok. Here we go...

Actually. Nevermind. Let's touch based around Christmas. I generally feel more hospitable and tolerant at that time of year.

Til then,

Blowing the zone
