my only football experience (mom wouldn't allow me to play tackle football, too many fears of broken bones, etc) is in the neighborhood...
however, i did play hood ball with Chris Kelley, the starting safety for the Terps this past fall. of course, he being a few years younger than me, i was able to pick him apart when i was younger. but even then, he showed flashes of brilliance that would lead him to his 3 time All-Met status, multiple state titles at Seneca Valley, and his career at Maryland.
there was one other time, i played hood ball with several starting players at Seneca Valley, most of them juniors and seniors, when i was in 7th grade. I know the body pain you went thru wolfeskins. i was always QB and pass rusher in hood ball, never much of a tackler, and got man handled by the all-met tailback. ran me completely over.
