Football Season
September 22, 2024
Football has never been my thing. Decades ago, when the rest of the family watched Doug Flutie make his historic Hail Mary pass for Boston College, I was in the other room talking to a friend.
However, when your 6’ 5” grandson is the kicker/punter for his high school team, things change.
That’s why I watched two football games in 24 hours last weekend—the first a winning high school game, the second on the next day visit to a college that is recruiting Grady for its team.
Grady and a handful of other recruits watched Washington and Lee’s win from the field. His father took photos on the field when the school’s photographer couldn’t make it.
I think I am beginning to understand football. Maybe even like it.
It’s never too late.
