Sorry to hear that, playing guitar is what keeps the arthritis in my fingers at bay.... and, I'm left handed too, (but I play right handed).

Thanks. Much appreciated.
It's not my fingers. It's my right elbow and shoulder. If I play for ten minutes, the way the right hand is twisted on the strings, first, my whole arm goes numb and then it starts to throb.
Too much jackhammer, pounding steel stakes with a hammer for so many years, bull floats, mag floats, steel trowels, etc.
Turns out, the women in my life were right all along about using my degree to make a living instead of my hands.
You made the right choice playing righty. At least you never had to pay 20-30% more for a guitar like I did.
The first electric I had was a right handed Danelectro 59M that I switched the strings on and played upside down. It was a cool little guitar, with a twangy Telecaster kind of sound. Problem was, when I strummed the strings, my left forearm would run across the knobs and turn them up and down.
So, after a lot of bargaining, which included putting a room addition on the house in my "spare time," I was allowed to go buy a lefty American Strat.

Being a good WR doesn't mean you'd be a good coach. Diva is a term often used with the position.

Yeah, as a young'un, my guitar teacher said "learn to play right handed, that way your strong hand is fretting the chords and all they weak hand is doing is strumming the rhythm... (yeah, that's all...lol). Just like my baseball coach had me swinging right, even though I fielded left. So now I golf right handed. Weird.

And in the interest of full disclosure I am still left handed, but I am a former musician. Arthritis done took the guitar out of my hands.
I kind of gave up the guitar after running my index finger through a spinning table saw blade. It kind of had the effect of making my other 3 on that hand the only fingers to use which didn't work out too spiffy. but hey, my guitar makes a nice piece of furniture/art.. something to use the feather duster on once in awhile..

Ow. Just frigging OW!
I had to get rid of my guitars. Could not take having them stare at me. I swear they were taunting me. "You *****. What, you can't take a little pain?"

Way back when I was young, teachers and coaches both tried to make me right handed. My dad threw fits. He loved the fact that I was a lefty because of the edge it gives in sports.
Baseball--majority of pitchers are right handed. Basketball--everybody just naturally guards the right hand.

Would like him as an Assistant to Bicknell to get his feet wet here that is for sure.
Love the Housh.
Taylor also worked with the young WR's with the Rams and Kupp had a great rookie year going until injury.

Who isn't critical of the Bungles organization? Maybe he doesn't want to coach, instead he wants to sit in the FS1 booth and talk about how players should play instead. Chad didn't run routes, Carson knew him, Chad had the athletic skill. I don't know if it was the same with TJ, but that guy was an automatic 1st down.

TJ was the running game in 2007 and 2008.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

Why is it that we assume that every decent ex player is quick with the X’s and O’s, is a good people person, is inspiring, sets a good example on and off of the field and can actually teach? There are sides of these players that we all don’t get to see.

The simple fact of the matter is, these guys are enjoying life on the golf course, doing as much or as little as they want, and deserve that. Being a coach, even an assistant coach, is a huge time consuming job. I doubt they want it....
This. If he wanted to be a coach, he would have started at the college level long before now.
Most people with as much money as he has, choose not to work the long hours out in the hot or cold weather.

He burnt his bridges when he was here. He was a big time locker room cancer.
