Quote:we must have read it at the same time. I think I submitted my final ask vic question.


"I just wanted to say thank you for everything you have taught me. I started reading your column when I was deployed in Iraq and couldn't watch any games. I learned more about scheme and execution than I ever could watching the cover 2 nonsense on TV. I can now tell when a team is losing even when they have the lead. I know why it is important to mow our lawns. I no longer scream at the tv when my team loses. I can appreciate an opponents players even when they hurt my team. You have given me perspective on why I love this game as much as do. Ten years I have been an avid supporter of your column and today I am sad to learn another of the dinosaurs is leaving us. One small request, please write a book. 100 yards of confrontation, not for the faint of heart."
