This thread is about people remembering and honoring a friend. There are some screwed up things in the story and we all don't know the depth at which Clif was suffering.

You do not know that he was neglecting the horses. Apparently, from people who know him better than I do, there is more to this story.

Please keep your dumb-ass comments to yourself. We are grieving and remembering a friend who is no longer with us.

They're not my comments. I also said we'd have to wait and see when all the facts come out.

I think it's a horrible situation all around.

I read the same comments and saw the same pictures. The pictures were very disturbing to me. However, I know Clif and believe in my heart that there was something else going on besides neglect. I know how much he loved those animals and can't believe that he woudl do anything to hurt them.

I just don't know the depths at which Cliff had sunk...physically, mentally, and emotionally. However, I am sure he was hurting beyond anything any of us knew or imagined.

Plain and simple....he was a weird guy at times, but he was a genuinely good-hearted individual.

I have no doubt about any of that.

This stuff happens all the time. Animal lovers keep bringing in animals until it gets to a point where they can't feed them all. Then they are afraid to call the Humane Society out of fear that the animals will be put down. But you can't let them starve, man. That's just cruel. I see it on the news around here (SC) a lot. Home had dog and cat feces, starved animals everywhere...with animal ownership comes responsibility. By showcasing these cases on the news, hopefully it can prevent someone else from doing it.

I've got an old lady on my street who has 32 cats. I have two dogs and two cats and I'm pushing it. How in the world can someone keep 32 cats healthy?

The saddest part is that someone like Clif wasn't being cruel because he was a sicko who got off on it, he was being cruel out of fear of losing the things he loved. It's still a news story, though.

Well, there are obviously some things with this situation that are not pretty... but that's not what I'm gonna remember him for. Cliff obviously had some personal issues that he was dealing with, as we all do...

I choose to remember him as fun-loving Electro who cut up on the huddle with me everyday and who was the kind of guy who would befriend and take-in complete strangers just because he was a nice guy. That may not be enough for some of you, but it's enough for me.

I'll always remember him for both. I really liked him on this board. I didn't like what happened on his property. Whenever I'd see a story like that on the news, I'd think "what kind of sick..." Now I know that it can be a very nice person who just doesn't know what to do. He loves his animals too much to do the right thing, sadly.

Well said Biscuit....that is definitely how I will remember Clifton. Chasing me aroudn the Huddle Tailgate trying to grab my ass and hump my leg. Fond memories.

Talked to him last weekend for about an hour. He was trying to make sure I knew what to look out for when we go to Mexico in a few months. Gave me all the advice he had and even volunteered to go along and make sure everyone stayed safe. He was laughing when he volunteered to go along and I never thought that would be the last time we talked. I asked how he was doing and if he needed anything and as usual he said everything was fine and laughed. Going to miss those late night phone calls! Had a great time tailgating with him this past year, just remember to not scratch his truck when packing up after the game. Training camp and tailgates will never be the same without him!:frown: :cryin:

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
