To all of my EF family

[Jim Davis]

I'm sorry to put this out on this post but it needs to be said.
I was told that a coach was telling other coaches that i left miggle late Saturday night was because i loss to Geno and this is not true not at all,
I left miggle because my wife just loss her mom and she was crying all weekend long and she wanted me to come home so that was a no brainier,
me and my girls pack up and left, my wife went to the funeral in Mississippi and got back home on Wednesday and me and my girls left on Thursday ,
so i had to get to my wife she is my world and I'm her rock so i had to go.
i told Mike Guttmann and Tookie,Dearell B. and Norbert ,and i think 2 or 3 more coaches what was going on. so that coach told you that i left because
i loss to Geno don't believe what he said it's not true.

it's sad when a coach you think is a friend dose this to you.

Just stuff the game doesn't need.

Best wishes to your wife and family Jim.

......you don't need to explain to anyone on why you left. U a grown ********** man if MFer's are saying that ********** dem Jimmy, take care of home 1st. My prayers go out to you and wifey man. Teresa lost her Grandfather last week and he was like a father to her more then her real dad. So I know what you are going through with your wife bro. As for the kids that made that statement, well kids will be kids dawg!!

Unfortunately, every time I think we're gathering a sense of community in this hobby, someone comes along and ruins it. It's a shame that someone drew that conclusion, Jim. I didn't know that was going on, else I certainly would have given you my best wishes at the time.

So while they are dated by a few days, please accept my condolences for your wife and your family. Prayers and best wishes heading y'all's way. It looked like your daughters had a blast at convention, which was great to see.

Glad we got to hang out a bit at Miggle, it was great to see you at work during the tournament. It also meant a lot to me when I introduced you to Veronica and you noted how she had found "a good man." Much appreciated, my friend.

If someone thinks people up and walk out of tournaments because they lose a game, then they seriously don't have any clue what the hobby is about, and they oughta take up stamp collecting or match stick organizing.

Remember, kids, God won't care what your won-loss record was.

We knew better Jim. We knew it was more serious than that. Sorry to hear about the loss in your family. I hope you're doing well.

Jim,
No need to explain to us ...PERIOD!!! And as far as you running away pouting, never happened! I watched the game and I thought that both you two displayed a very impressive amount of calm and sportsmanship during that tough game. Many things could have been debated and fought over, but both you and Geno played above that junk...and the two of you should be commended for it!!!

Your friend,
Mark

It's really too bad you even have to come on here and address this.

My condolences to you and your family.

Jim,

I have no idea what happened between you and Geno so I plead ignorant to that. However, again, guys put too much emphasis on outcome of games that you can not enjoy the moment.

You have nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, to explain to people about why you left. Truthfully, if you leave, it's nobody's business but you and your family. Other than that, the H E L L with them.

I get so tired of accusations or cryptic messages about wins or losses. Guys tried to read into things without really knowing what's really going on but somehow draw their conclusions. If you really don't have all the facts, you're just going on speculation - and that's it!

When it comes to life and death, we owe no one an explanation about our disappearance from an event. You can tell them if you want but where I stand on things, I could really care less what they think. Your family will long be with you long after you kick your last field goal. And your wife's health is #1 foremost. Let me tell you, if my wife would have been crying or needed any assistance, whether its a championship game or 1at round, that's a no-brainer. So don't think you owe NO ONE an explanation. You would have owed your wife an explanation if you had not come to her aid/rescue.

If I am you, I probably would delete saying I am sorry to anyone or even write an explanation here.
