NOTES:
I had sent to Rashard back at the tail end of 2023, but didn’t hear back from him. One of many recent discouraging recent TTMs.
Joe’s package of kindness couldn’t have arrived at a better time. I was having a really tough month. A complete series of setbacks… trying to fix problems and just watching it all disintegrate in front of me. Some weeks, the days are all just a blur, taking care of everything the best I could, leaving me less time than I’d like to pursue my hobbies.
It’s nice to be thought of from time to time…. Keeps me going.

NOTES:
When I first became a Rams fan, I saw Michael streaking down the field on a few plays. I thought he was going to really be something for them in their already strong WR corps. Then he went off and signed with Denver. I was a bit butt hurt. I knew he’d be clutch when it counted for somebody.
I was miffed that I failed on him back in 2018 considering I lived pretty much right around the corner from him at one point, however I reloaded and gave him another shot a few years later. After pointing out that I was confused because sometimes color men and Wikipedia called him ‘Mike’- he let me know that he indeed goes by Michael. He sent me an NFL Alumni sticker, 2 extra autographs, a nice note, and also his Dodgers business card in his return correspondence. Worth the wait.
