Story Tim: one year I went airborne layed out to grab a flag, missed the runner, and when I hit the ground went Pete Rose right over a pile of dog shit.
Dry-heaving whist getting my shirt off as fast as humanly possible was special. -

Winter of 92-93 in Korea and I’m playing QB. I break a long run and get hit from behind by a dude that was a beast, 6-1 & 210 for the dirty souf. I smacked my head on the frozen turf and said I’m done playing QB. One of my roommates said it looked like an NFL hit and thought I was ded. -

ProThere wasn't an option of turning down the NFL for Rugby. But Pro seemed closest. Mind you, I did this in 3rd grade PE. But still any Rugby > Pro Football.

None, I am cowardKind of funny, by the looks of things non of us have played any meaningful football, however, we are expert analyzers, TBSers, etc..... I have contributed significantly over the years for my DWAGS! I have yelled so much on 3rd down that I KNOW I ended drives for the opponent! BLED in the stands falling over drunk heckling...TYFMS....whatever

High SchoolCo-captain of a middling team in a non-football conference (WESCO 4A) in a non-football state. By virtue of being one of four seniors on the team... Right before the season started, our star player's (Stanford/Baltimore Ravens) mom was given a job by another school, so I suddenly had to fill his shoes at both positions. We had--no shit--13 full time varsity players, then a huge cliff down to the JV, so everyone played both ways and special teams except for the QB. In retrospect, I can't believe we were able to win any games at all.
My favorite part about TSIO is the coining of the phrase "try-hard," as you could not better describe me in high school. Every time I heard that on the pod, I'd chuckle and picture myself in high school: gym rat, real coach on the field, zero physical talent. We went from NFL guy at fullback/WIL linebacker to all 5'8" 160 lbs. of me! Fucking rad. I led the team in carries on offense and scored two TDs all season. 'Nuff said, FMFYFE.
