As I was browsing around for articles on tonights Bengals/Ravens game I ran across this article and this quote.

"I mean, this isn't a soft sport. We don't play chess. This isn't swimming. This isn't one of those kind of sports. It's football. It takes a man to play this game, and to play this game you have to have passion.''
I had to laugh.
I play rec flag football with a guy who used to be a backup QB for USC back in the 80's. He's generally not too happy that every spring, I tend to bail on half to season to swim, mostly missing b/c of zones and nationals (and maybe a preparation meet).
The last two years, I have done the 4.4mi Chesapeake Bay Swim on the Sunday that usually is the day our league playoffs. I got a ton of respect from him for having done the 1 mi Challenge, and after two years and some very respectable finishes in the 4.4mi, its pretty much a given from the start of Spring Football that I get that weekend off.
