Yeah I have an occasional text from him. While he never said it, he left during the run up to the election. He is a big Trump supporter and didn't feel like he could stay and stay friends. I thought he'd maybe come back after things settled down post - election, but so far nada.
He should come back. Everyone has done a great job of keeping politics off of the Sports Board and I, for one, never (almost) go to the other forums.
I hope AJ and Krebs both return also as both are great contributors to this board. The political discourse on the other board has been dead for months which is a positive development as political arguments are arsenic for relationships between friends.
