Tell Us About Your Playing Days

[SmootSmack]

I get the impression that many of us have played organized football at some point in our lives, so I thought it might be fun to learn a little something about everyone's playing days.

I'll start. I played in a rec league from 6th-8th grades. Then I played a couple of years in high school before switching to other sports. On offense I was a running back, used sort of like Chad Morton (sweeps, draw plays, receiver out of the backfield) and on defense I played nickelback. Had a knack for the ball and could hit, but not a fundamental tackler by any means. Returned punts/kickoffs on occasion. Wore #28, then #36 and finally #1. When I played in the rec league, my team went undefeated every season but we lost the championship game three years in a row.

My shining moment-ripping the ball out of a receiver's hands and running it back into the end zone for a game winning overtime touchdown. My Leon Lett moment-slipping on the wet endzone grass and falling flat on my ass as the ball came floating toward me with no defender in sight....then doing it again on the very next play!!

Ok, well that's a little about my days on the gridiron. What about the rest of you?
