That change is what brought it up from F- to F.

Knew running Montgomery Inn out when PBS opened was a bad idea.

It was a gamely tradition for many years for me.

These are young men with young families and anyone who has been to a game knows the stands can be hostile.  Their families put up with a lot  The players don't want to have to worry about their wives, children, parents, etc during the game.

Back in the day. not so long ago...the wives had mother hens in Melissa Whitworth and Anna Peko who would take the new wives and mothers under their wings and show them the ropes.  There really isn't anyone like that on the team right now.  Our most senior player isn't married.  Our QB isn't married so it is possible that these women are feeling isolated which their husbands pick up on.

I call that BS if it is true (Not your statement, but on the player's part) There is not a player on this team that can't afford season tickets on the Club level, which has plenty of available seating, is under cover during the rain, and is 10 steps from tables inside if it gets too cold. These guys are evidently expecting their employer to do everything for them. Wait till they are out of the league and in the real world. Why, they might have to buy their own lunch... the horror!

You don't want your favorite team to be a franchise that gets good reviews from its players and is a team that other players would like to be a part of?

And this is a massively upgraded cafeteria from what was there before. https://t.co/RyyTzWTUvH

Ha. No, but it was in an old storage closet. And you just took it to the gym to eat. Food quality was rough.

Listen, the temporary buildings are not flattering. I always felt like there was an intention to get the food right.

I would say food quality is great.
Now, always what I would want to eat ?
Nah. But that’s so subjective from person to person. Hard to get right.

Control… https://t.co/NWvGM6QgWJ

It makes one wonder what the players/coaches/owners of yester-year would think.
"They did poorly in food taste/freshness?" "All we needed was a cigarette and coke machine"

I wonder how the food tasted at Spinney Field!
