Way sooner than I thought tbh. I like that he wants to play but I also think you need to play with a 100% in this game otherwise you dont do well (its only OTAs, but still). Hope he can put this horrible thing behind him.

Maybe this is therapy for him. To be honest, I wouldn't know, having never been through something so tragic. I hope Tori will be okay.

Damn. That's a quick way to earn your teammates respect if he hasn't already.

Yeah, taking another day or two off would be easily understood.
Glad to see the commitment, and I'm sure it won't go unnoticed by teammates.

Honestly, having gone through this myself, it tends to really fester if you let it.  Getting back into the swing as quickly as possible can really pull you out and help you work through the grief in a healthy way.  It's what I wish I had done.

It's good to see him back.  I can't say one way or the other if it's too soon since everyone deals with grief in different ways.


There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Foles threw his first two INTs upon his return to OTAs, but given his circumstances, I think I can forgive them

Fair point! Also, sorry to hear that, glad that you seem to have worked it out. I hope Foles can too!

Me too. I made sure not to be disrespectful/controversial  due to the situation. 

I get to see him tomorrow in a meet and great at The Better Man's Conference.

Nice. Just don't do any bits about babies that Anthony Jeselnik does on stage and you'll be fine.
