Everyone is sad that the NFL season is done because there are no games to watch and no fantasy football contests or games to win until September of 2021.

I ve received so many get-well messages from people spread out all over the country. Charlotte Jones-Anderson of the Cowboys called, so did David Baker from the Pro Football Hall of Fame and several of my fellow gold jacket recipients in Canton.
