Personally, I was harsh on Tank Commander Scott for the entirety of the season, but I must give credit where credit is due.

Thank you for having absolutely no control over Kobe Bryant and playing him as many minutes as you did in his finale allowing him to score 60 points.

Thank you for leading us to, hopefully, back-to-back top three picks in the past two seasons.

Thank you for giving us a plethora of nonsensical quotes that we will always use even long after you’re gone.

So before we send off Byron for good, we would just like to remind him to “man up” in the face of unemployment.
