2 Sports Questions For You

Submitted by xtramelanin on

Mates,

These two questions are for you and relate to events that you personally participated in, not just things that you attended or maybe watched on TV.   This is a pretty biased blog in that most of the folks that post here are sports junkies and played some level of sports relative to the overall population.   All of us (or nearly all) at some point participated in athletics.  It might have only been in gym class up to 9th grade, but for many it was high school at least and for many it was beyond that.  

The questions are closely related and are as follows:

1.  What was your most disappointing or embarrassing sports moment?

2.  What was your favorite, most memorable sports moment?

1. In HS playing at Highland Park another linebacker and I were on a blitz and were about to crush the QB, we both hit him at the same time and bounced back, I temporarily was blacked out. When I came to, I asked my linebacker buddy where the QB was, he just pointed down the field. Turns out, the QB took both our hits, then scrambled for a 70 yard TD.

2. Also HS (we woulda won states if coach just put me in 4th quarter, I guarantee it), we called a Timeout on defense and our coach called us over to the sidelines. He tells us to visualize ourselves making a play, interception, scoring a td, whatever "motivating" thing he could. I was defensive end at the time. The next play, the QB drops back and the RB leaks out to my sideline, I read the play perfectly and the QB throws a high soft lob over to the RB, I step in front of it and intercept it and return it for a TD to score the game winning TD to beat our rivals who we haven't beaten in like 19 years. It was insane.
