I now know my limitations...


Hello Followers!

I am just checking in, wanted to let you know I came to another realization in my life, I no longer feel I can play for the Denver Broncos.

I know, it's sad but true.  There was a time after the last snap I participated in in college, that I felt I could run with the big boys.  I know it was probably not realistic, and filled with false bravado, but I honestly thought I could hang, and wanted to be there blocking for the legend John Elway.  Then a few more years passed, and I was confident I could still contribute.  Until Sunday, I held onto to the dream that I could be the go-to long snapper.  I wouldn't have to do much, just make sure the Field Goal holder and the Punter got the ball quickly and with accuracy.  I would gladly do it for the league minimum.

So what changed?  Well, I realized when returning to my seat after going potty and getting a large order of Supreme Nachos and a Coke.  There I was walking up the stairs to my seat.  On the fist level, seriously, like 20 steps, and I was out of breath, and my knee and back hurt so bad I was seeing stars.  I realized that I wouldn't  survive the jog from the huddle to the line of scrimmage.

Oh well, maybe I can be a DH for the Rockies if they ever go to AL rules.....  Oh wait, I sucked at Baseball.

Peace,

Woody
