Has there been a bigger jerk than Jarrod in the annals of Milford High? Veteran readers will know. I’ve only been following since the advent of the Internet — neither St. Louis paper carried Gil when I was a kid. I’d see him for a month every summer in the Memphis paper while visiting my grandmother, then wonder how things turned out when I went back home.
Chip, go to Amazon (wish there were still independent book sellers) and look up Gil Thorp or Jack Berril (sp) and there are several Gil books that go way back in time. Each book carries several years worth of story lines that are amusing and quite simple. That said, we should all appreciate Neil and Rods efforts, inane story twists and all!Tod Andrews
“Win just fine on your own? I met a gay cheerleader at lunch yesterday and he said you guys had to suit him up and run a flip-over-the-line play for your only win last year.”
tedtbgame- Right on about The Ghost. Didn’t he get taped to the goalpost in the Quinn Martin episode, “Ghost to the Post?” Two of my favorites were Bobby (Big Bob Stuff) Ottewill and Dinny (Dinty Moore) Perez. Both were vying for alternative school MHS softball pitcher Darby (Huge kid Jaxon’s Mom).
I remember The Ghost and Bobby Big Stuff. Those guys were obnoxious mainly for their boasting, weren’t they? I can see why Jarrod wouldn’t be thrilled about True’s arrival, but he’s treating him with an over-the-top hostility.
Lenny Hull was suspended for insubordination, tricked the recovering alcoholic QB’s girlfriend into dating him, stole money from the concession stand that then got blamed on ME, and punched my boy Wally in the face. But it all worked out in the end. It always does.
I remember buying this NFL preseason magazine at the beach sometime in the early 70’s. Broke down each team with a clever title for the article. The one I can remember fits this current story-line: “PITTSBURG – A TALE OF TWO TERRY’S”. Nobody had a clue then what was about to happen over the next 7-8 years with that francise!

I’m pretty sure Mark Sanchez and Tom Tebow had a similar conversation at the Jets training camp a few years ago

In all reality , J Rod is reacting the way most of would . How many of you would say at work, Welcome new guy , I m glad you re here to replace me .
I predict by the end of the season Tru and J Rod will be friends hoisting the Second Place Trophy together .

True will play another position and find ways to make his team and QB the best in the valley. Or he’ll switch to the badminton team.

Maybe it’s just me, but seems like they’re setting up some conflict between the two QBs. MUT is all over it.

I will say that J-Rod is one of the biggest tools in recent Milford history, certainly more annoying than Terry Gallagher and his shamrock shake…
