I cannot imagine bringing my family up in such a backward facing state. Friggin religious nuts everywhere and crazy folks who are 50 years behind the times, and gun laws that will get your children killed. No thank you!
There are advantages to living in a state that provides some of the greatest education in the country, has progressive laws, and has thoughtful people who call it home.
It's the worst.
I was once outside of a CVS corporate building just north of downtown and I was going in for an appointment and I had to park in a lot adjacent to the CVS corporate lot because there were literally no spaces and no roadside spaces at all. There was an old broken down concrete, small building like an old gas station at the top of the adjacent lot. I pulled in an parked and was about to walk across the small patch of grass, and these two hillbilly types all but cornered me at my car, right up in my grill, about 3 teeth, just screaming in anger at me, with me not having a clue what they were even saying.
I honestly thought I was going to need to throw down with these two to defend myself, but I saw how irate they were, and realized it was their property, and even though no one was in their massive parking lot, they hated CVS and didn't want me here. lmao
I just got back in my car and drove off.
It was the most bizarre "almost had to fight" experience I've ever had. The father sort of took the lead and had 3 fingers up in my face as if it meant something. he just kept yelling things and I had no idea what he was so angry about or what he was saying.
Oh, also this gal grabbed my crotch outside on the sidewalk of the Hard Rock across from the Hampton Inn, where I used to stay downtown. Just walked right up to me, sized me up and grabbed my junk right there on the sidewalk. She was high as hell. It was like 6PM in broad daylight in the summer. It was a kind of girl you simply didn't want grabbing your crotchal region, if you know what I mean. Not good. Ugly.
Weird, weird place.
They do not like people that don't come off like a redneck hillbilly.
It's a pathetic place with a lame downtown. To this day, I have no idea how on god's green earth they were awarded a Super Bowl.
They have a decent arts district, but the downtown area is really limited. Easily the worst major Midwest city you can go to. Even Detroit is better.
I could not figure out why McDaniels would openly choose to go there, so I figured Irsay must be severly overpaying to even get him to be interested. Luck's career is up in the air, they're a hokey franchise, AND they made his life a living hell leading up to SB 49, with more institutionalized cheating from Goodell and the Colts with Framegate II.
It simply made no sense. Good on Kraft for giving McDaniels more money to stay and good move by Josh to stay with his family in a much healthier place to live. Not a huge fan of McDaniels, as I think he struggles at times in games, but for continuity and keeping Brady happy, I am good with it.
