I have been on some teams that he has knocked us out of playoffs and I am not his biggest fan. I will say, however, for a guy who plays hurt w/ elbow pain, chronic ankle soreness and a stiff back at times he is a warrior. Good luck to Branch team this weekend and make Dallas proud (sorry LB Houston is one of the sites).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-88942278941645398332010-07-23T10:57:34.684-05:002010-07-23T10:57:34.684-05:00Btw, hear what happen when BP put a ring on the le...Btw, hear what happen when BP put a ring on the leaking well?.....It stopped putting out!.....just some light humor..back to bashing Kelly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-53941313992486725022010-07-23T08:23:05.252-05:002010-07-23T08:23:05.252-05:00Kelly bashing tally (unofficial):

How he gets these players is beyond me. I am in the 5.0 league and can assure you in 06 and 07 had he tried he would have easily been moved to 5.5. That was 3 years ago and he is a little older but still has the ability to do some damage at any level. There will be many disagree but if he would have played the young Bell, Kelly would have won that match. The only criticism is the heat, one tough singles match early and his goose is cooked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-221663874886435812010-07-22T22:06:51.878-05:002010-07-22T22:06:51.878-05:00Davis just figured out a more efficient way - he j...Davis just figured out a more efficient way - he just did not play men's '06 & '07 to get moved down.<br />Come sectionals ya'll will see Davis & Kelly will be comparable to other players that come to sectionals.

That is my theory and I'm sticking to it. My guess is he will win every match at sections in 4.5 and 8.0 mixed, if he gets there, and then go 1-4 in the fall in 4.5 and 0-5 in 5.0. This way everyone can bitch and complain again next year. I say thanks Mike for some great reading.

I should have said something like this:<br /><br />Congrats to Todd and his team for a great season. Our team had a lot of great matches this weekend against them and the other teams and we look forward to the possibility of going to Sectionals or next season.<br /><br />Oh wait, I already posted that 48 hours ago. I'm not going to thank anybody for handing us anything because we weren't handed anything. We earned every match we won and we deserved to finish second. <br /><br />Very hard for me to judge Kelly's fitness level. He seemed very tired in the last doubles match but that's why Feldman has so many players. They don't need Kelly to play every match to win, which is going to help their chances tremendously.<br /><br />Also, I have accepted the fact that my team isn't going to Sectionals this year, but if we somehow make it, great!!<br /><br />Good luck to all teams that advanced to sectionals and I hope to be able to watch some this year!!CoreDawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583438662444145116noreply@blogger.com
