the first game i ever went to was a preseason game between the packers and the patriots back in 1986
obviously as a young kid, my favorite players was the QB of my favorite team, lynn dickey. could tell you much about him, but he was my favorite at the time
i was on cloud 9 the next day until my dad got home from work and told me my favorite packer, who i just saw the night before in person, was released by the team. thats when i learned the NFL is a bitch
why i never knew was why it happened. there was no interweb forums back then, and i didn't read newspapers or watch the news
so, for you older geezers. does anyone remember why it happened?
i'm not saying we would have one super bowls if we had kept him, or that he was even all that great of a QB, but lets face it, randy write fucking sucked.
so what was the reasoning behind the move? was he just too damn old (39)?
