Your personal worst / embarrassing sports story.

I've never been embarrassed in my entire fucking life. I'm pretty much good at everything I do. Always have been.

But,

I spent some time back in So Fla for a year of HS. During that year, I had two moments that made it abundantly clear to me that I was not cut out for Division 1 football.

1. As a sophomore, I got moved up to the varsity. Seemed like a good thing. In the red/grey game, a kid who would go on to the U as a special teamer and buried deep on the depth chart at linebacker (think tight end body) took a short kick on kickoff and ran up the sideline free. I had the angle and I was speedy so getting to him was no big deal for me. Mind you, he is tight roping the sideline. I get there full steam and he dips his head and shoulder and knocks me on my ass without breaking stride. I think I may have nudged him an inch to the left to make him step on the line. Or maybe he scored. I've chosen to forget. But let's say I took the brunt of a situation where it's normally the other way around. Probably concussed to boot.

2. The first actual game I was on the varsity, we went up to play Miami Columbus. David Shula was the QB, there were a bunch of other D1 players, including this kid named Alonzo Highsmith, who played full back and linebacker. I didn't get into that game. The embarrassing part was that I didn't want to. Alonzo, who is in that gif I like to post (I ain't scared of you bitch), was a fucking man, and trust me, you wouldn't have wanted to either. He scored a TD the next year as a true freshman against the 83 Huskers. And he was not afraid of the Boz.

3. Walking out of class on my way to the HUB, I was walking with a buddy and we were bitching about the Colorado game where Brunell throws a fade to Bailey on fourth down. We're inside the 10 as I recall and a td and PAT win it. But we threw to our great, but 5' 8" wide receiver. Anyway, I'm not Mark Brunell, so that's not the embarrassing moment. That came when my buddy and I are bitching about that play and eventually notice this guy walking next to us obviously listening to the convo. It was Brunell. He didn't say anything, didn't scowl or tell me to fuck off, just kinda kinda grinned and walked on ahead. Camaro would've probably said, "no shit. shitty call." But Brunell wasn't as mouthy I guess. Anyway, that was kinda embarrassing at the tim. Now I think it's just funny. Not an athletic moment; but we were talking about sports so it counts.

Curtis Gaspard dropped the natty.

But the fourth down play was to Bailey. Right?

I was never an athlete. Was always too small and uncoordinated and was often picked on by the football players so my story is more by association. It's really more of an odd story than being embarrassing. Anyways, A couple years ago, 5 of the really popular football players from our school pull up to my house at 2 in the morning, honk their horns and tell me to come outside. I thought they were going to beat me up but instead they made me get into my dad's toolshed, get out his pressure washer, and clean out the bed of their truck for like 2 hours. What's even weirder is there was an older guy with them that told me never to tell anyone about it or he'd sue me for defamation. Never figured out what any of that was all about.
