Who here actually played the game?

[Genghis Khan]

I once broke 6 tackles in an amazing 20 yard run when I was 13 on the big empty field behind Williams elementary in a suburb of Houston by the name of Pasadena.

That pretty much allowed me to understand how Barry Sanders operated on a football field.

I mean, we were pretty much the same guy.

I know most of you will never understand, but we can't all be special.

I once scored 7 touchdowns in a game for Polk High.

Lifelong fan going back to the Landry days, so maybe played college ball in the 80s.

Even the complexity of the game from college to NFL today is a tier of magnitude greater, experience from 30 years ago may be as relevant as pay phone knowledge helps you navigate a smartphone.

Then you understand the game intimacies.

Not to beat my own chest or anything, but I played some high school ball at a fairly mediocre level. I did have a few offers to play at division 2 schools in Texas, but I was lazy academically and already had a decent paying job lined out after high school so I journeyed to the big city to make those dollars.

I have coached youth football for many years, from pre-k to 6th grade, and for the past few years I have coached the Freshman 7 on 7 team during the summer for the high school. I enjoy football and appreciate the relationships it builds. The first year I coached was a group of 4th and 5th graders, it was right after high school, we didn't score a single point that year. I felt terrible. The next year, I had all those 4th graders return and we won 8 games (out of 10). It was pretty cool. The past 7 seasons I have had the privilege to coach my own son. He played in 5 Super Bowls, won 4. He is a much better player that I was (or my brother, who my late grandfather deemed "the football player" before he passed). I'm looking forward to watching him from the stands for the next several years, and I hope he gets to live out his dream to be a Florida Gator one day, as long as I don't have to pay for it.

No wonder you confuse ‘t’ and ‘p’

That's really cool, brother.

I think I'm done coaching now, 23 years of putting up with other parents has just about worn me down. I know for a fact I will never coach baseball again. Someone else can hold that clip board.

The parents are the worst. I umped baseball for quite a few years and quit for that very reason.

Can you guys please be quiet and let The Prophet speak? I'm ready to finally learn something about the game.

 

[Rev]

I agree. Ball-grabbing intimate stories need to be brought forth.

What was the other dude's name that came around that one time trying to school us on the game? He was supposedly a coach or something?

Do better as a father.

I think we're being trolled, no way someone is that much of a gasbag with their first post.

I think your spidey senses are on point.

What does that say about the rest of us

is it a repeat offender?

The rest of us are definitely gasbags, but we've earned that right.

This guy hasn't lived the DCC life for nearly 20 years, so he doesn't need to tell me a GOTTDAM thang!!!

That's really cool, brother.

It was, until he mentioned his son wants to be a Florida Gator. Bad parenting.
