      Pissed me off for the longest time this dude didn’t feel appreciated at Florida. He was SO good. Yes Tebow was a legend in the waiting…but Chris Leak carved out his own legacy as a great Gator QB.
      Maybe the best pure passer to ever play here.

    When people talk about UF's QB's, we always hear about Steve, Danny and Tim but we hardly ever hear about Chris. Chris won us a Natty, yet we never hear about him. Leak is, IMO, the most underrated QB in Gator history and possibly CFB history. A great player who doesn't get his due.

    Couldn't disagree more about losing a coach. SO? That's life. I've worked where a well-liked manager or supervisor got dismissed. We still had to come to work and do our jobs. Feeling bad for the person is something you do on your off time. You talk about it with friends at work when you're on break. You might go visit them and offer your support. On your off time. After work. When you're at work you continue to do your job to the best of your ability even if it was your husband, wife, mother, father, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, who got canned.
    Thanks for having Chris on. It was nice to see and hear from him.
