Baz - I'm not sure he's really committed to McCrae

Just saw an email from Baz.  I think he's losing it. He might be ready to give up the crown this year - trophy, team captain, the whole friggin nine yards. So let's have it - your own personal scouting report on Baz:

Here's my take:

Records / Awards / Stats: 2nd longest consecutive appearances as a Mucker (second only to Eddie!); most days in American prison, most Monday ice, biggest cooler, repeat winner: biggest fish, shore casting, trick casting

Strengths: Leadership, delegation+++, clever, humour, agility,  somehow catches fish in that damn ship of fools; always a threat for biggest fish, big mug of kahluha, knows how to keep ice from melting all weekend, always has extra smokes; knows when his team needs snacks

Weaknesses: Zif, streaky, inconsistent, late riser; can over think the game / try too hard due to limited game time (see late riser); often disappears for years at a time, after the rape/murder "joke" he scares me,

Intangibles: Immodium, Sunday mornings; big play potential - game breaker; in final months of management contract year

Quotable: "Damn! My three smartest guys are out in the boat"; rape/murder "joke" (can't repeat it)

The first day of the rest of your life

You never know just when that day might be. It could be today. It could have been yesterday. You just never know.

When it does come, I hope it looks a little like this.
