Happy Trails, #92

I’ll let G-men fans like Chuck Wipple and MFH handle the absent-sarcasm tribute duties in the next day or so, but for the time being, thanks for the memories, Big Mike. You may have been the most overrated defensive player of the last 20 years not named Warren Sapp — which might seem a little ridiculous considering you’re a sure-fire HOF-er, but I stand by it — and you may or may not have cheated on your wife with another dude. But you will go down as the greatest gap-toothed player in the NFL’s long and glorious history, and as one of millions of people who rocked braces in middle school, I can tell you that this, my friend, is something to be proud of.

I’m gonna go ahead and chalk this up to bitterness due to the fact that his ring says 2007 while Brady’s rings (more of them, obviously) are from years that might as well have been the stone age as far as my 3 year old cousin is concerned.
I’d agree with your assessment of him being overrated if it were made pre-18-1 except for the fact that in the roughly 25 games he’s missed in his career, the Giants have lost all but close to 5 of em, give or take.

Bitterness? What could you possibly be talking about, Mr. “I’m a fan of the team that owns the flukiest championship in the history of sports”?
