What about the original Screech not taking his hat off during the Anthem?
Oh, and your basic point is right. Hollowing out your minors eventually leaves you saying,"why can't we get guys like that?" when your feed finishes. Flags fly forever, so Riz gets a pass, but the bill came due
Ah, everything about the original Screech makes me incandescent with fury. Good one.
I'll also admit to being utterly mystified as to how a mess of a roster like Cincinnati's won enough games to be in contention.
