A Boy Dressed In Spalding Clothes

Football has been more than just a sport to me since the day I was born. My father and I rarely talked during the week, but sunday was different. He would sit right next to me on the couch and we would chat about Brett Favre and John Elway. Every pass, every run was picked apart and I loved every moment of it. And that moment when my father would say goodnight to me after 3 hours of monday night football, it became more than just a sport, it was a way of life, it was companionship, it was a catylist for social interaction, it was perfect, it was football.
