Last Tuesday, (before Thanksgiving) my wife conned me into working out on the school playground before school. The regular lady was on a trip. We had had a nice blanket of snow the night before....a 6 inch blanket.

One of the nice things for many of the kids that live on "The Hill" above school, is when there is snow they carry those roll up plastic sleds, and when they get to the last 150 foot drop to the playground, they get on and have a ride down to school. There are rules in place and pretty well followed. My job was to see everyone survived, patch up cuts and splint broken bones. Everything was going nicely, at least in my opinion, when someone yelled out, "Lookout below, Isaiah is coming down"

Just the mention of his name sent shivers up every ones back, mostly mine, as I knew the damage he could do in an uncontrolled speed run on a 75 degree slope. Picture Gilbert Brown in his heaviest prime, then make him 8 years old. Get the picture?

Before I could holler up to him, he was on his way. At first, I thought he'd go kinda slow, but like a battleship, he gained speed.......and more speed.
I yelled for everyone in his path to clear out, but knowing Isaiah, his path took up most of Western Montana.

The sled and Gilbert, err, Isaiah, hit the bottom runout at about Mach 1. It wasn't Mach II as there was no sonic boom as he passed by, but the trees all sort of bent his direction as he passed. Directly in his path were two 8th grade girls, who at the last second saw the incoming train barreling right at them. One managed to dive out of the way at the last second, but the second girl didn't. Bammmmm! Collision not avoided and now Isaiah was in deep trouble. Not from me but Taylor, the girl he hit. This is one very cute girl you absolutely do not want to mess with.

She picked herself up, not injured, went over to the sled and simply grabbed herself a bundle of winter jacket, snowpants and 8 year old scared crapless kid, and in one movement, picked him up and carried him 25 feet and deposited him face first in a snowbank.

I was laughing so hard I was crying. When I went inside the principal asked me what was so funny. I said, "you wouldn't believe it."

"Does it have to do with Isaiah?" he asked.

"Yep!" I replied

"I don't want to hear it. That kids' like an Abrams tank gone beserk."

"You got that right, Dave."
Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

I laughed. I cried. 2 thumbs up from my wife and I.

Isaiah reminds me of my son's classmate all thru grade school, Jr High and HS.
Great wonderful kid. It would take 4-5-6 maybe more boys to tackle him when they were at recess. A smile that would light up Atlanta. Polite. Defender of the smaller.

It was a real shame and shock when, at 20, he passed away due to a post surgery blood clot. I really miss that young man.

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.
dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning
Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?
beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.
beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.
dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition
Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.
beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.
beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans
dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?
