Woke up this Saturday morning to a sweet text from my friend tom Blake, which you never get a text first from him so you know its important! He texted me and 10 other friends to come down to the Lansingburgh high school football field where we are all alumni to play some football. So we got there and played some football and we ended up all getting real hurt and sore from tackling and beating up each other. we played a few games through out the day and then we picked teams of 5 and played first to 5 win by 2 tackle football with the boys. My team was tom Blake, Jared fane, Dom Canty, myself, and Jake Schongar we ended up winning 6 to 4 and brought home a victory. The dark horse of that day was Jared fane. He shocked us all because he’s a kid that doesn’t play sports for school and ended up being lockdown on defense and running over kids on offense such as I wont name drop but the biggest guy there who’s in the senior game for my school Lansingburgh high school and Jared was doing it that day. On the other hand there was many hard hits and people getting hurt but I myself had a few sports center top ten one handed clutch snags that day. So Saturday was a good ole day of old fashion smash mouth football with the boys. yeahhhhh. So the next day after a grueling day of hard core smash mouth football, blood, sweat, and tears into Saturdays game I get news that were playing again, on the evening of Sunday. Pretty much the same people went and we played for another brutal smash mouth football game. That day was by far the most physical battle I have encountered since I quit troy patriots pop Warner in 2007. I ended up getting a swollen nose, internal bleeding, broke 4 fingers, lost a tooth, and also concussion like symptoms. I still wasn’t the worst there. My friend had do be brought out on a stretcher because his bone was out of the skin. Further more I didn’t come home with the victory that day, I was defeated. Not physically but I was mentally exhausted from this brutal smash mouth football weekend I endured. This grueling two days of football did not get me down. I rose up took a ice bath, 4 Advil, and a gentle nap in my kingdom/bedroom aka my thrown. This weekend we all plan to do this again and play same place same time and I want to get a black eye, that is my goal and what I look forward to for the weekend. So be there or be frail.
