BTW...Anybody notice somebody missing from his farewell message?


No Spielman.

If anybody still wants to follow Brian...and Pops, they are fishing  in a tourney this weekend called the big bass splash (fundraiser for St Judes)  you can google it and there is a results tab on the tourney page.

Good luck to team Robison!

No what?

Pops disliked this message for some reason.  



No, my big thumb just hit the wrong one and I fixed it.

My apologies to folks I had inadvertently disliked posts. Totally an accident. I loved BRob. Not loving this damn phone though.
Big oops...
Edit: Ok now I know what going on. Just did it again. I got a crack in my screen protector. As I scroll down with my thumb it hit that crack and mimics a tap. Don't like button is right where my thumb rolls. 
I will rarely give anybody a don't like. If you seen I have it purely by accident. Fixed two I've seen so far.

I still go back and watch 96 questions from time to time because they are funny as hell and show their camaraderie. The thing about Brian is that he is real. He isn't an image or a character. He is who is. He is a good guy who cares about his family, teammates, coaches and fans. What more could you ask for?

That would work. Of course so would a scout or coach. I could see him teaching young guys how to adjust to being in the league.

Thank you BRob for being not only an awesome player but being a better man.  You leadership on the field will be missed. You deserve all the praise you are getting in this thread and I hope you have a  happy retirement.

Gotta carve out some time to watch that.  Sure miss BRob on the field and in his 96 questions.  Those were great insight into the lockerroom, the humor and the relationship between the players.
One day, I will get Pops to come out and do some real fishing in the mountains of Idaho.

They are a team,  unfortunately  if you want Pops you will likely have to take BRob as well.

Well, if that is the only way to get Pops out here.  This is fly fishing tho, no team, every man for himself on the river.

Damn, just when you think BRob couldn't be any classier, he leaves us with this.  Brian, you were a great Viking, a great football player, but you ARE a better man.  SKOL!
