Former Coupeville High School soccer ace Brian Roberts was one of four people honored this week by Whidbey paramedics for their quick response to a nasty vehicle crash.

Ladies and gentlemen, Whidbey paramedic, football/baseball coach and silver-tongued devil Chris Tumblin:

“Josh had one tackle on a receiver, folded him in half like a cheap hooker who was punched in the gut by her pimp. He had to sit out for awhile and wait for his liver to start working again.”

Happy 46th, Mr. T.
