I escaped from work early today and ventured to the local watering establishment to throw back a few cold ones....
After a few Irish Ales, "Outside the Lines" on ESPN came on. And in relation to the current tragic incident of the Marquis Cooper/Corey Smith boating indecent, the show did a feature on the Tim Crews/Steve Olin boating fatality of 1993. The bar crowd was glued to the TV in utter silence, recounting the events of that tragic day, 16 years ago. Then, the bartender broke out in tears. She explained that she was a friend of the family of Steve Olin and the show rehashed old sad memories. Within minutes of watching the Outside the Lines feature, half of the bar was also crying. Very sad feature for a very sad day. With that said, the names will not be forgotten. We will always remember this tragic day. RIP fellas.
