football

[decadbal]

i just watched friday night lights.. i swear its the best movie ive seen about ball. how many of you bros that played would give up so much to get to play again. out of all the sports ive played baseball, wrestling and football, it taught me the most. it made me competitive, showed my to view ppl as ppl, ignore race and religion, it taught me how to play hurt, sick, tired and when everyone else would quit, that its better to fight on and play thru it. it kept me from drinkin or doing drugs in school, kept my focus and me away from gettin into trouble. it made friends ill have the rest of my life, guys that i get so excited when i see now, bc i hvant seen them in forever, guys i love like brothers, bc we are. i owe so much of my life, and who i am to football, and i just wanted to share some with u guys. i know alot of you didnt play and might not understand, or hopefully you do. i miss playin so much that its painful to watch. i havnt been to many games at my HS since i grad, bc its so hard, and i was lucky enough to play a little college ball, nothing major at a major school, but enough to where the last game i played wasnt in the 3rd round of the state playoffs losing to a team we already beat that year. i played with a great group of fellas, who ambition and ability made us the best team to ever be at my HS, and the best team in the state of NC when i was a senior. im really lucky to have gotten to play, i played ball since i was 6 and wish i was lucky enough to have had the talent to go pro, not for money or fame, but just to play the game.

I feel you bro, I watched it at the movies and it was off the chains...! I love sports period, whether it be movies, or actual games, olympics, track meets, arena games, almost all sports, etc...Heck I even played a few seasons of semi contact flag football...Once you've grown up around sports and play them, the people involved and memories last a LIFETIME...

Long story short, for those who haven't see Friday Night Lights...It's a must see...

I hear ya bro football is the best sport! It def. hurts to see the other young kids playing now. I didnt realize at the time how lucky I was cause I was a cocky prick... All my best friends are from football too it sucks growing up i miss my ex teammates. But your right its great once you see them again. Football was my first love now its what the ladies have to offer me but oh well... Can't wait to see that movie though heard nothing but good things about it.

I'm still waiting to go see it...probably will be tonight since it's friday....I can relate to how you feel completely, but for me its bodybuilding and not ball..Yesterday I had to write an English essay over a question the teacher asked us.

Something like, "If you were stripped of your "bliss" , and twenty years later you had the chance to do your favorite thing one more time, would you do it, or would you turn away as it would be too painful to experience again?"

Yeah, i wrote my essay over bodybuilding. Edit: and hell yes i'd do it.
