Well, ...Oh shoot sorry, you wrote "play". Well, I tackled Curtis Martin in high school gym class (2-hand touch). And I went to one varsity football game, where he dominated. Probably should have answered that anyway.Bram Reichbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620172942925293407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10023572.post-90388381633707254322013-09-10T23:49:56.200-04:002013-09-10T23:49:56.200-04:00To Anonymous - Woodland Hills-North Hills was defi...To Anonymous - Woodland Hills-North Hills was definitely 1993 when I was in college. http://wpial.org/archives/champs/team_f.htmSeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811858639259602946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10023572.post-57501702069657926092013-09-10T23:45:32.117-04:002013-09-10T23:45:32.117-04:00Somehow I was convinced to go to trendy upscale ni...Somehow I was convinced to go to trendy upscale nightclub in Station Square called WHIM to celebrate an acquaintance's birthday. Somebody informs me, "You see that guy over there with the dreadlocks? He's the Pirates new rookie, Andrew McCutchen." He was drinking a cocktail in a plastic cup in a corner completely by himself, even though word was circulating. But if everyone else felt like I did, they couldn't imagine what to say to a brand new Pirate. "Sorry, dude. Bad luck. Do you completely suck or do you think you'll get good eventually once we trade you?"Bram Reichbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620172942925293407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10023572.post-31106418139094144682013-09-10T23:15:07.117-04:002013-09-10T23:15:07.117-04:00MCole - Gore is a good pick.

I always thought of Blake as a passer more than a shooter<br /><br />Anonymous - I'm well aware that Taylor was home-schooled. Still remember seeing him play though. I'll have to look up when LaVar faced Woodland Hills. I was pretty sure I was in college. Oh, LeBron turned out to be an above average player!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811858639259602946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10023572.post-64882131405658695872013-09-10T22:27:38.390-04:002013-09-10T22:27:38.390-04:00Fyi SJ.

Frank Gore is probably the best football player I've seen. But for your enjoyment I'll tell the tale of a gangly, awkward, scrawny white boy who came off the bench to play basketball for Killian High School against my beloved Sunset High. This freshman kid, who's arms seemed to go down to his knees, just started jacking up three pointers and kept hitting them like they were layups. He didn't play for long stretches, I'm guessing because he was a freshman, but he just kept shooting threes. Somehow we managed to win the game on a last second shot. That white guy is still playing in the NBA today. He is none other than Steve Blake.MCOLEnoreply@blogger.com
