How many football gamers have played real football?

Played RB in High School. Knee and shoulder injuries kept me from going any further.

we won our touch football league here in the metrodome

Played defensive end and right tackle. Broke a bone in my foot freshman year, and missed the whole season. Second year I quit halfway through because of my Mother.

I have a message to all that are either playing football in high school or entering high school. Do your own Goddamn recruiting. I learned the hard way a coach can harm your chances of playing on both Saturdays or Sundays

So, so true. I did all the recruiting stuff myself, sending out tapes, contacting coaches, etc, etc. Made a huge difference.

Played strong safety in HS. Played some rugby in college.

He is right our coach had a pipline going thru most Louisiana schools especially LSU. He pushed my friend Robert Royal there and got a few of us on as invited Walk-Ons. But he got another one of my friend's scholarships taken away because he wouldn't run track during his senior year after football. He told him if he didn't run his scholarship could be taken from Nother Western La University, and after the guy refused his scholarship did get revoked.

same story here.Played high school ball. Only shoulder problems though(broken collar bone on a hit after the whistle was blown- i wanted to kill the guy). And who the hell wants a 5'7 RB unless you possess the ungodly skill of a barry sanders, etc.
