However, I think that I have made up my mind.
I love both Dickenson and Printers.
That said, I think that the Lions should do what they can to keep Casey around, because:
- - he's got youth, and can likely stick around for a while. Dave is 33 (almost my age
), and may or may not have too many years left.
- Dave is Exciting, but Casey is EXCITING.
- Casey will sell more seats.
- Who on earth would want to be known as "THE GUY THAT LET CASEY GET AWAY," as in "WALLY BUONO IS THE GUY THAT LET CASEY GET AWAY."
- After the game, nobody - NOBODY showed the emotion of the loss more than Casey. I was in Section 10, and Casey's game ended pretty much right in front of me. My Dad and I stayed to watch the trophy presentation. Five minutes later, my Dad pointed out that Casey was the only Lion still on the field. He had his hands on his knees, back to us; then he stood up and I saw the reddest eyes I've ever seen on any athlete. Mark Washington came out and picked up Casey's helmet and guided him off the field. I teared up almost as much as I did during the Veterans' game.
I like Dave. But I think Casey is "it."
