I'm good with that. He's gone and we have some players, some prospects and some picks. If it makes the team better in the long run then there is nothing wrong with that. Time will tell

I guess when your star player is publicly begging to leave it undermines the leverage of the organization. That and they're idiots.

Truth: Auto-inflate life jackets are NOT 100% guaranteed to inflate. If you want that kind of guarantee, you have to wear a standard foam type PFD. What they are is a really good alternative to not wearing any PFD while fishing. While running your boat at speed, they're not a good substitute for a standard PFD. If anything happens while running at speed, there is much high chance of entering the water with an injury and the jacket may not inflate. Also, a standard jacket provides some level of protection to your body should you hit something. I have a standard jacket that remains attached to my kill switch and I have my auto-inflate for when I stop the boat to fish.

They're nice and comfortable and I wore one myself but as Dan668 suggested just know that they have been known NOT to work when guys have fallen or been thrown from boats. If that happens and your injured or out cold you'll be in trouble. Plenty of reports around the web of them failing.

condolences to his family and friends. I only met him once, but we had a great chat and he was a truly nice guy. His videos humbled my skills at both fishing and filming. He will live on in those timeless replays of the passion we share. The tug of the line, the view over the horizon, the rising sun, and the graceful flip of the tail from the fish swimming back to fight another day Rest in peace Kevin
