I like closure. 4 minutes ago, TuscanyTile2 said: Tom Shane seems like the kind of person who would probably appreciate being remembered with sarcasm. But I'm sticking to my theory that Maxman knows exactly what's up (nothing bad) and he's holding out on us. I think if Max knew, one way or the other, he'd say so. Maybe he wouldn't tell us all the details, but at least a simple "Tom is okay, and will be back", or "Tom has passed away". Max seems to be a pretty transparent guy about running the site, and Tom is a big part of this site. I see no reason for Max to lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallinPB Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Something of major significance had to have happened to him and I don't think it was good since he hasn't been here for now almost a month. I'm just hoping it wasn't death and it is something like a major surgery, recovering from a heart attack, stroke etc. I don't want to put that energy in the air but that's what I'm thinking now. He used to be the guy that I saw posting non stop here and just poof nothing at all. I think at this point something bad happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14 in Green Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Before I joined, I would browse the site a lot, and he was one of the best here. He did go overboard on the Leo/Jamal/Maye draft picks though LOL. Does anyone know what his last post was? Did it seem like just any other he would have left, or was it different in any way? If I had to guess, which I have no business doing, it would be he's in rehab for some problem. He's a pretty young guy, Hope it's nothing worse then that, and he is okay.

I grew up in a city where you ONLY REALIZE that one of your neighbors has passed away DUE TO THE SMELL of the forgotten ROTTEN CORPSE being eaten away by the starving cats locked in the apartment. OR you get pushed off a subway platform by a mentally crazy person and get crushed by an oncoming train. OR you get stabbed by an aggressive homeless person who demands money from you. OR a simple dispute over a parking spot escalates into manslaughter, etc, etc., etc. . . . You get my drift. It doesn't HAVE TO BE DEATH, but IT USUALLY is. Nah TomShane is a visionary. He’s probably jumped ship and became a Pats fan. It’s a temporary insanity thing. Being a losing Jets fan can do this to an individual. On your gruesome dysfunctional social examples, I was walking my dog late last night on Madison and 38st and this wacko on a bike sees me and threatens me telling me to get my ‘nasty dog’ outta here’. Now my dog is about as gentle as can be. Obviously this wack is one sicko wacko MF. I ignored him and he tried to again to intimidate me. Just kept moving and put my hand in my hoodie and walked off. There’s a saying ‘if you argue with a fool who’s the fool’. But yea man Ya just never know how things can jump off. My dear friend who passed a few years back who was a marine taught me you are NEVER safe and must always adapt and be on alert wherever you are.

Worst case scenario: He went to some 3rd world country to bring back a wife and was arrested for wearing Jet gear and is in some dark dungeon planning his escape. Most probable scenario: he’s doing his impersonation of Machiavelli faking his demise and just messing with our heads and laughing his azz off at us all and will return when we win a Super Bowl ?.
