LOL!
In another life, a long, long time ago, yes, I indeed played in the old WFL, and when that collapsed, had a couple of brief cups of coffee with the Jets, mostly rehabbing an injury...
I was good enough to get there, but a little too fragile to stay for long, and was easily replaced. But still was there, more than 99.9% of football players can say, with memories that will never escape my noggin.
The game has TOTALLY changed from when I was a kid. Totally. With the same skillset I had as a kid, I'd even be a marginal college player today. But I do thank football for a wonderful edumacation, and incredible friendships that exist even today. Heck just last week, I found one of my college teams is being inducted into a Sports Hall of Fame, and I got an invitation to attend a reunion of old WFL players, including Larry Csonka, Jim Kiick, and Paul Warfield
. But the biz is doing well, and I'll be unable to attend either.
"Nothing to see here, folks, just move along..."
(I still have football in my DNA, still get that "itch" around the time guys start thinking about report to training camp, still watch my favorite team, the Buccaneers. Grandpa CB was an All American back in the Walter Camp era...)
