It's That Time of Year
All Pro Corner-Back, John "The Hammer" Jakle
is starting practice for the coming season. After a lengthy suspension from the league for unnecessary growling at the line of scrimmage and off season surgery to remove excess brain cells, The Hammer will soon be sweating it out on the practice fields of August, trying to get back into shape for the season opener against arch rivals, the San Francisco Mutants.
If Jakle can stay focused, listen a little more in the huddle and completes his anger management therapy (big ifs ) he could be a major asset to this year's team.
Also in the sporting news, it looks like a new star may be rising in the Northwest. Finally out of stir on work-release, Thomas "The Mauler" Jakle is saving up for a complete uniform. Once he is able to afford shoes he may make this year's starting team as a clutch field goal kicker. Known for his icy nerves, Jakle is the go-to guy when the game is on the line. Don't forget to trim your toenails, Mauler.
Go get 'em boys!

Steve this is great! The best, most rewarding read I've had in months. You put Anthony Lane's insightful coverage of the Olympics in The New Yorker to shame. Or maybe it's something to do with the fact that I've been watching these young athletes careers for some time now myself. It's hard to stay aloof when my heart is already in my throat over the real life dramas and setbacks they have had to overcome to get them to this point in their careers.
Good luck, young men!
Re Sarah and what's that she's got in her mouth -- I wouldn't jump her wave. For sure.
Hi Bill,
That would be a tongue!
