Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Thinking a lot about Derrian Brown...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
It was only a one day protest.
It's Monday, and I'm no longer hung over for bored out of my mind.
Yeah, sounds like my dog Bradie. She ain't about that life.More prayers for the Brown family.
I really wish my dog would do that.We had snow here a little over a year ago, just before Christmas. When I got home from work I tried to take her outside to play. She took one look at that snow and turned around and ran back inside.
I think it means we'll definitely see Whittington take snaps and it practically screams to Zach Evans, "PICK US, WE NEED YOU!"
I remember Steinmark. It was roughly 25 years before I started covering the team, which is the time frame I discussed.
Do YOU remember Steinmark?
He received consideration. It was either him or Luther for the last spot. I chose Luther.
I'm really not comfortable speaking about the things we've heard behind the scenes. Off that you found it strange, but no one else has remarked as much in three-Plus pages.

My little brother died unexpectedly at age 27, nine years ago. While the pain and heartbreak I felt at the time was crippling, it was truly horrifying watching my parents in such intense pain.
Entitlement you know. And I don't blame you for not wanting to talk about the things you hear. Information sometimes is not accurate or simply shouldn't be released.
You wrote how you felt about Derrien that is what matters and it was very good writing.
Cat Stevens, Rod Stewart, Sheryl Crow......IMHO all a bit better than Katy Perry
Just messing with you but I think U2 and Bruno should be in the top5.
When Bono opened his jacket to show the flag as The Edge plays the rif from "Where The Streets Have No Name" after listing the names of all the fallen.....I just can't see how that is not in anybody's top 3 if not number 1.
When you lose a child the pain and the grief and so many other emotions simply run wild...... and the recovery can be difficult.
For some people it never happens the clock stops for them.
There are those who say best safe that faith gets them through a lot of things and to be honest it does. However there are times when you wonder you wonder where that faith is.
HornyOwl........ years ago my mother who is an Eastern Star went to the National Convention that year was in Washington DC: I believe it was 2007 my brother was overseas and I was in California and my mom was traveling.
Anyway between the meetings and The Business the lodge does at the conventions you have tours and one of the tours takes you to the Lincoln Memorial and if you've ever been to the Lincoln Memorial you know what sits at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial if you took out go down the steps and turn to your right.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial AKA The Wall........ my father has stood at that wall my brothers have stood at that wall and I have stood at that wall....... and we have looked at the names and one in particular.
My mother never stood at that wall she didn't know if she had the strength or Everwood but that day she was on the tour and she was with a bunch of her friends all black ladies all in their sixties seventies and their eighties and when they stopped there my mom got off and went to the Lincoln Memorial and she looked at that statue of Abraham Lincoln.
She sat on the bench and two of her friends was sitting next to her and she turned to one of them and said help me walk down there.
They did and they held her hands all the way there to the panel with my brother's name is on: according to them my mother just stood there with the tears running down her cheeks and she kept rubbing my brother name she didn't say anything she just kept touching it.
But at times there aren't words for moments like that.
One of the park volunteers came by and saw her and " Ma'am.....wait right here" he came back with a piece of paper and a envelope.....then he did a rubbing of my brother's name and gave it to my mother right then and there.
She has that rubbing to this day in her sewing room and it has helped her heal.

Do YOU remember Steinmark?
Yes. I remember him.
That surprises me. It really transcended the game IMO. I’d probably put it third behind your top 2.
I didn't see it ranked high on any list that I looked at to help refresh my brain.
For instance, this list had it at No.15.
It counts if I say it counts. It's my list and my rules.
I get to critique your rules.
Being a parent has been the best part of my life and the scariest. Love, joy, fear, and anxiety are all part of the deal, I think. I pray for the Brown's as I cannot imagine what they have been through in the last few days.
One of your best, Ketch.
