A Few Thoughts About Virgil In No Particular Order

[ChevyVanMiller]

The only thing missing from yesterday's roller-coaster ride of an instant classic win was TSW's resident recapper and his musings on the game. Until we hear from @Virgil here are some speculations about why he went MIA after Josh's game-winning heroics yesterday afternoon.

 

1) His head exploded. Literally exploded during the second half collapse and ultimate game-winning drive. I know mine almost did.

 

2) At 28-3, he figured the game was in the bag and began the shots of Jameson early. He's still at some roadside shanty singing, "Show Me the Way to Go Home." with a bunch of Bills' good time buddies.

 

3) When Smoke Brown left the game in the 3rd quarter he became so concerned, he collected a Shaman, Voodoo Doctor and Wiccan Witch into his Nissan Cube and headed to Bills Stadium to offer aid and assistance in Brown's speedy recovery.

 

4) He had the Bills, laying the points, and headed out to his bookie's house to collect early when the Bills pushed the lead to 25 points. The bookie told him, "No payouts 'til the final whistle." Virgil couldn't believe it when the Bills won by 3 and the game was a push. He had already used the winnings as a down payment for an inground swimming pool.

 

5) Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

 

6) After the first TD he had the "Lee Smith on a milk carton" tattoo on his arm reworked into a dreamy likeness of Kim Pegula.

7) He's been busy firing off a "How do you like our trash now?" missive to Jalen Ramsey.

 

8  He just can't find the proper superlatives to accurately describe an offense not seen in these parts since 12+83=TD was everyone's favorite equation. Calling Mr. Bartlett, calling Mr Roget, your assistance is greatly needed.

9) He's been on hold with the Colin Cowherd Show since the end of the game. His wife told him to, "let it go," but Virgil says that he has a piece to speak and won't rest until it's been spoken.

10) I can't even bear to type this last one, but we must consider the possibility that he's gone over to the dark side and has spent the past 18 hours on the Tampa Bay Bucs board extolling the virtues of the ageless, blood-sucking vampire known to the free world as one Tom Brady. Say it ain't so, Virgil.

Looking forward to your thoughts on the game, buddy. Sooner the better.

I wondered about Virgil myself but could never come up with such a reasonable set of possibilities as yours!   I hope its #7 - was tickled to see a TD right in front of Jalen.....

That's great!!!

 

Fabulous job.   

[Rc2catch]

That was really good. A+ 

[The Poojer]

i don't read any re-caps on this board until i read his....rockpile is second.....i keep hitting F5 until i see it...then i can read the rest of the feedback on the game

[sir andrew]

It's things like this that make TSW awesome.  Well played. 

[Virgil]

It's coming a little later today.  Life things happened and I'll be honest, it took me a while to calm down from that ending.  This is hysterical btw

I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that he cracked under pressure and has spend the last 18 hours babbling about how every Dylan song is better when someone else sings it. 

[whatdrought]

I just assumed he was laying the ground work for 2021 TSW mock Draft. 

[entropyrules]

great job - especially for the Dylan reference

[WhoTom]

I was looking for Virgil's thread.

I saw the beginning of this thread title and was happy that I finally found what I wanted to see.

I saw the rest of the thread title and was disappointed in having just been teased.

I read the post and was satisfied.

 

Kind of a microcosm of yesterday's game. Well played, Chevy!

So mostly #1?

[1st Ammendment NoMas]

I can understand why everyone would go MIA here.  We finally believe we had a legit team and the implosion on the field led to explosions throughout the world for Bills fans. I hadn't gotten this emotional over a game in a long time. My normal assortment of cursing at the tv was intact, but this led to body shakes. If they lost after all this, my head would go through the roof. No amount of alcohol could cure that wound.

After the game,  it was a relief but the bitter juice of the collapse kept coursing through my veins. I didn't even come back to look here until today.

I got in on the -1.5 and cashing that check today!!!!!!

 

But in all seriousness this is creative as Heck and funny as hecK

The rest of the league is worried about ..................

 

There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend

Wow! Glad to see you're still here. I was truly worried.

 

And, @ChevyVanMiller's list is epic! 🤪
