Same as you Smoot, I played Rec League football from the time I was 6th to 8th grade then High School JV and varsity one year each. I was a fairly big strong kid but slower than molasses in January. I played offensive guard and def. tackle. Everybody new that, on defense, you couldn't run at No. 65 and that on offense the guy playing opposite me was not going to get any sacks (I didn't give up a sack until my second game varsity year). I was part of several goal line stands and, in my second rec league year, we clinched the division championship on 4th and goal with about minute to go.

Buy my junior year in high school, I was really little to small for line play but too slow to be linebacker or tight end. I had only played offense in my sophomore year and really did not enjoy that as much as defense so I stopped playing.

Played rugby in college - now THAT was my kinda game. "Rugby players never quit - we just eat our dead"
