The Daily Dirt, December 11: Saying Goodbye

Hey everyone, Andrew here, and I’m here to bring back the Daily Dirt. In my first action here I would like to pay tribute to the players that are (potentially) not coming back that hold a special place in all of us, by leaving them a message.

Bobby Boswell- Bobby, you may have only played 7 minutes but what you gave to us went beyond the field of play. Whether it was your humorous, slightly awkward, interviews or even appearing on Nickelodeon’s game show G.U.T.S., you always found a way to make things hilarious. Make sure to check our Sam Jones article covering Mr. Boswell.

Jeff Larentowicz- Jeffy, Big Red, Larry, Larentowicz. What can we really say? You encompassed this whole fan base and staff here into a really amazing (and considerably odd) relationship with you. Thanks to Sam Jones’ obsession with you and some regretable internet judgment, we were able to raise a lot of money ($4,103) for The Fugees Acadamy while also cementing your legacy on Jones forever. You sent the crowd and Twitter ablaze with your chest goal against Montreal. If this is the end, it was quite the adventure.
