    I once got a participation T-shirt in the Desert 100 race. Finished 314th and separated my shoulder!

    Playing Garfield, we were pushing the shit in, and the coach finally put me in. Qb threw a quick screen and I was all over that shit knocking the WR down and dislodging the ball.

    All the way back to the huddle I was helmet to helmet telling this guy he sucked ass. Coach pulled my ass immediately.

    Fuck you Tim Tramp.

    Funny thing was I had froze and didn’t know what to do for a second. Had I jumped the route it would’ve been an easy pick six and you would all know my name because I would’ve been an nfl player, made my millions, and retired by now with my hot ass adidas wearing wife.

    I drained a half court buzzer-beater in IMA b-ball and turned to lock eyes with Olin Kreutz and his nodding approval.

    district championship vs Bainbridge Island and I'm playing Left . Close game late and they had a little lefty come to the plate with runners on. Sure enough the little fucker flairs one and I dive and make a game saving catch for the 3rd out. We go on to win.


    I actually hit a sprinkler patch and sand flew in my face. Umpire never saw it roll out of my glove.

    We lost next round anyway.

    Knocked three first basemen out of beer league softball games, wrist, knee and sternum. Sternum guy required medical attention because he thought the line drive I hit off his chest induced a heart attack

    Being first or second loser in my age group a couple of times in 5K Turkey Trots. They give medals and gift certs!

    In a stupid corporate team building "Olympics" we had a paper airplane competition, where the one which traveled the furthest won. I took my paper and crumbled it into a ball and threw it further than everyone else's airplane. I was disqualified.

    In a country club golf tourney playoff, teeing off and massively hooking the ball to the left, across a road, hitting a fence, having the ball ricochet off the fence and back to the road where it kicked off the road and back in play on the course.

    playing in the Under 13 Provincial Soccer championship game and during warm-up while I doing a practice shot on goal, the team joker pulled the ball back so that I kicked through the air like Charlie Brown and Lucy...blew my fucking knee out somehow...never made the rep team again in my life.

    I got put in at linebacker in the 9th grade and of course they ran their 23 year old fullback right at me. I grabbed him and fell backwards forcing him to fall on me.

    I got pulled immediately and noticed the coaches were laughing at me.

    BBK??

    At a company golf tourney - not the serious kind with the guys who can actually golf, but the one "for the people", where the secretaries, staff and everyone else plays - I won the 'closest to the pin' competition. However, this only happened because the hole was straight and dog legged hard left, making it a perfect L from the tee and thus my incurable slice (I swing left handed) was good for something ... for a change.

    Was on a buddy golf trip and had an absolutely shitty round going after 15 holes ...

    16th hole (Par 5): hit a half wedge to within about 8 feet for a birdie
    17th hole (Par 3): left about a 30 foot birdie putt about a ball short dead center of the cup for a tap in par
    18th hole (Par 4): tee shot dead center of the fairway with 2nd shot to about 6 inches for a tap in birdie

    It's what makes golf so maddening ... when things go really good it looks so easy ... most of the time it's what the hell is going on???

    Started on one of the avacado toast defenses that Lockner steamrolled through in the state playoffs.
