Writing Boots

On communication, professional and otherwise.

There’s nothing like football

More on this in an upcoming HuffPo piece and perhaps a video, but suffice to say:

In a span of no more than 15 minutes yesterday afternoon I was knocked down repeatedly, cheered, yelled at, pitied and patted on the back.

    What a way to start off my week, laughing at this picture of you trying to recapture your youth!

    This reminds me of a movie. Now what was that called, again??
    Oh yes! “Men in Tights”

    Hey, what’s that little sissy rubber shirt you’re wearing under your jersey?????
    It looks like a SCUBA shirt or something.
    Chicago football players don’t wear little sissy rubber shirts under their jerseys.
    Sorry I missed the game, pal. I waited for Zach’s soccer practice, in Naperville, until 3:00 . . . only to have it rained out anyway, so I could have made the trip in.
    Can’t wait to read the article.

    What part of I’m “HOT in that gear” didn’t you pick up, Steve?

    That rubber shirt wasn’t made out of your bed sheets, Steve? I bet it’s Under Armour, right David? All the cool junior high soccer players wear it.

    Yes, that’s right, Eileen. And I’m not embarrassed to say I wore an Under Armour girdle, too.

    If I hadn’t met you in person, I’d consider you Sidd Finch’s young son. What a lot of fun! And thanks for keeping George Plimpton’s spirit alive!

    Hey David –
    We’ll miss you too! It was a pleasure playing with you. Will we see you on the 18th?

    Great to hear from you, Baker, and great game on Sat.! (Force 55, Iowa 0, everyone.)
    I’m out of town on the 18th, but May 2 is on my calendar.
    Force Family Win,
    David
