Thanks to all... It is still bothering me. My wife is en route to Molokai right now for the service and to visit.

On Kodiak Island in the fall of '93 Billy and I sat on a ridge watching a huge buck go up the next ridge and Boomer Esiason had just been cut because he was "...an aging quarterback with declining skills..."

"We should go get him!" says I.
"Yeah, we should" says Billy.
Neither of us moved...
"We really should" I repeat...
Neither of us moved...
"Face it, we're just a coupla old hunters with declining skills..."

Billy had quarterbacked for UConn and was their best pitcher, and played first base (Leftie like Boomer) when he did not pitch, and always batted clean-up... He was a real athlete. Flat feet eliminated any pro interest...
