Maybe it's time to sit down and write Jerry Richardson another letter

[PhillyB]

In 2013 after we lost the Bills game I was fed up and wrote Jerry Richardson an angry letter. @Kurb told me to post it on teh huddle, because Kurb posted on the huddle back then. I said NO KURB, this is for Jerry's eyes only. I'm going to appeal to the looming existential shades that come with advanced age and hope it doesn't turn out like the scene in Braveheart where King Edward is laying in bad hacking his lungs out and refuses to listen to his own daughter's pleas for William Wallace's life. So I signed it and mailed it.

 

It wasn't a particularly well written letter. I would probably craft it much differently now. But at the time, with the tenor of the season, it felt appropriate. I mailed it Monday morning, and six days later Jeremy captured a photograph of a man in a quiet trance, perhaps the most existentially ponderous photograph one's gaze may ever pass:

Jerry stood quietly in the end zone, gazing upon his team, probably with my letter tucked into his pocket, or maybe tucked inside his sock like old guys do with their money and other things near and dear to them. The Panthers, probably freshly inspired after he probably had Thomas Davis read the letter to them in the locker room, went out and blanked the New York Giants for four quarters, shutting them out and kicking off the first playoff season in half a decade and the beginning of the team's ascent to perennial glory.

Apparently I need to write him another one.

Philly B that was a great letter. I would shorten the next one up though. It's alittle too long. But anything that can help our team win is worth a shot.

WORDS. Christ, just think how many time that old fool had to go pee reading that thing.

The interesting thing is we lost that game in large part to the poor play of a young CB.....Josh Norman.

I'm surprised you didn't get a pie chart back. Pie charts were cool back then.

I don't think "open letter" means what you think it means.
