He goes back home tomorrow morning

The final fallout from the incident a few months ago happened last night at our little league board meeting. Dad was unhappy that his son was accused of bullying, demanded that the board officers rescind the letter, and then quit the board when he was told the letter would stay.

His kid is either the most unfairly persecuted child of all time, or a loudmouth who causes a lot of problems for himself.
 
Eagles fans @ill and co. what are your guesses for who plays and excels at RB tonight w Gainwell out?

Swift had a rough week 1 w drops, missing gaps and got benched.

Penny was a healthy scratch (I picked him up off waivers as depth).

Both are expected to be out there tonight.

Is there anyone else who might be in the mix?

Was there truly a bullying incident(s) going on?

Scott will have 50+ and a TD.

This is like baby Gronk. Poor kid will suffer from his dad’s dumb decisions.

That’s a Hail Mary prediction if true. Guy has been buried down the depth chart for 4 years.

But someone has to get all the touches Gainwell got last week.

His kid and another kid had an incident. It was a district all-star game, in which neither kid was playing, and neither family saw. His sweet innocent angel was harassed and accosted by another kid (who plays in another league and was watching the game), which no other witnesses mentioned. Rather than leave the situation, his kid said something to the effect of "at least I have parents" to a kid whose dad died recently and whose mother is in jail. His kid was lucky (IMO) to only get away with being pushed down.

Board had considered the matter resolved and over with, until the dad decided to email the other league and demand that action be taken against their player. The other league then contacted their player's guardian, who provided the other side of the story, which matched other witness accounts at the field. So the board wrote an email to the dad, who took umbrage with his kid being called a bully, and he tried to play the "we've got to stick together/family league" card.

Not really a hail mary I don't think.

Sirianni said they needed to get Swift more involved, so I anticipate he'll get some touches. Scott seems to like the spotlight, but he's not playing the Giants, so I don't know how much he'd get. I would be surprised if Penny is getting a ton of touches, though.

You sure are long-winded today. Extra coffee this morning?

I just think both Penny & Swift will be above him on the depth chart, but I’m no Eagles expert.
 
I character descriptions to fully immerse myself in the novel
Apparently his son has had run-ins and situations involving this other kid at football, and with at least two kids of other board members. The dad was, without saying it, basically accusing the secretary of getting back at his kid for an incident that happened involving school baseball, which resulted in the other board member's kid getting kicked off the school team.

Small-town drama.
