FWmaker Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Did most of my shopping for some lighting, etc. and just before leaving, I asked if someone (insert name) was working today. "Yes, I'll find him for you." So he was pointed out to me, and I waited patiently while he was helping someone. Once done, I went up to him and said, "John?" He responded. Then I said, "Do you still need me to take you to the hospital for your toe?" (Some of you know about this). I apparently floored him. ROVERS' face lit up with recognition. He's no longer posting here due to some emotional outbursts, etc., but many know him. Seemed ok, but he had just gone through some procedures, recently. He's only in one local league now, and not really posting on any FF sites at this time. Reminded me of an older, taller, leprechan, - Mickey Rooney type. DID actually look and seem like he's had a lot of stuff go on with his life. Left him smiling (both of us). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby's Hubby Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Scooby has talked to him on the phone, lately. He is a good guy, just got turned off from the huddle "pile on" that occured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cre8tiff Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 That's a great story and too bad he left. Now I feel bad about all of the Pastorini comments. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I feel bad about all of the Pastorini comments. :-( i know that drove off s.o.r.e.s. i don't completely recall, but i think rovers had a parking lot incident (or something while driving) that didn't get the desired tg reaction.

It was actually a gas station incident w/ a "Paki-Indi" person. I won't post the link, but it's easy to find by searching his name. He was dumped on pretty hard. Did he deserve it? I'll leave that up to individual opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was dumped on pretty hard. Did he deserve it? I'll leave that up to individual opinions. I like the guy well enough. He just a little "inflexible" after he quit smoking. I hope he comes. I mean, if everyone who worked up a little quit the Huddle there wouldn't be anyone left around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) He came across as a racist doooosh in a thread, and when called out on it took his ball and left because no one backed him up. Didn't know huddle rules meant you were supposed to back up your anonymous internet friends when they acted like racist dooooshes, I must have missed that memo. On the other hand, I ever had a problem with him before, he was a good huddler with good Jets insight, seemed like a hard working guy that went through some tough stuff in his life, but his leaving is 100% on him, not on the people here.

boltnlava Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Everyone's forgotten about that. He should too. No one's going to bring that to any new thread but him. Too bad really he did have good info on the Jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh B Tool Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) The Irish have a way of getting their feathers ruffled easily. Most are "like to fight guys" because they think it is their heredtic right. Seemed like a good guy, though easily offended. Wish him the best.
