    I played in high school, all 4 years, 2 years in middle school, and 4 years flag before that..... I'm considering going out for the team at school now, after skipping my senior year... But it's probably not going to happen.... The coach said he wants me in, but I can't handle the time commitment...

    im playing all 4 years, the varsity coach already asks about me, i spoke to him, he said if i play well my freshman year, he will take me from playing JV straight to varsity, welp, i was acting so, but, not looking forward to that, in our division D lineman average 235, and LBs average 215, im only 167 now..... i guess in 2 years i will grow

    I played in High School on offense, deffense, and special teams. My School went to the NY State Championship for class A when I was in 7th grade and then when I was in 8th grade (Sadly I was only on JV and didn't get to go, but Adam Terry who was on both of those teams now plays for the Ravens). I played guard on offense and end on defense. Once in a while I got a goal line or short yardage carry. This year I am going to play for in the New York Empire League (I havn't played in 3 years, so it should be interesting).

    Pro...Seattle Seahawks...but I tend to agree with JetPulse here....I know alot about football....but I've known quite a few men AND women who know quite a bit but never played a snap...all you have to be is a student of the game. Only those folks and I will have any difference of opinion is how hard a hit is! ;)

    Peace!

    Tn: Apparently, some of the teams we played were big, but we didn't live on a farm just big.

    TN: It wasn't demeaning and I'm sorry if my post came across as if I thought that it was. They were monsters and athletic if I didn't call the line audible's I probably wouldn't have played, they were bigger, stronger, faster, and quicker than I was but my knowledge kept me in it. Plus I was wondering what is the best way to start coaching because I really want to be an offensive coordinator or head coach in highschool one day.

    I was a superstar in the Arena League back in the day. I took my team to the top until our bastard owner cut salary and our best players lost their jobs. Then another team offered me a large one year salary, of course i accepted. That season the owner of my new team had just hit it big with his knew as seen TV product (big as in millions) so he brought in the best in the biz to win this team a championship. We had a stud WR and no running game since its a passing league. I was the first and only player to score 10 rushing TD's in a season. We were soaring into the playoffs 15-1. We won the first 3 rounds and got to the championship game. All the pressure was on me because this was the best defense in the league and the only team that beat us. I had a great feeling about this game. In practice everything was going right. The owner said that he would give me a 5 yr extension worth 5.5 mill/ with a signing bonus of 3 mill, if we win this game. :beer:
    I almost shit myself. This was the most anticipated game in league history, this game was sold out months in advance. As i was walking to the arena, i had a smile on my face because i new every thing was going my way, but then it happend, all it took was a broken traffic light and a car that was going fast enought to break my throwing arm and my right leg. My career was over and thank god my life wasnt because the car stopped just as it broke my dreams. As you can now see where my life has gone, i now post on a Jets Message board. :sad: And as you should have already figured out i made this hole story up. Have a happy Kwunza bitches!
