Lacrosse,
A native american game...
take a baseball batting helmet, glue a wire cage to the front, take a hockey stick, sew a baseball glove to the end of it, take a cue ball... now play catch. Throw the ball @ 105 mph. Kinda like ice hockey without the fights, but with the monster hits. Pads? minimal, shoulder, like a punters, small...
I rode the bench in HS, but did go to Syracuse U. Football these days sucks. big. Wish we could return to the glory days of the late 50's with Mr. Brown, Ernie Davis or some of the 70's with Larry Csonka & Floyd Little and Art Monk or the 80's with Moose Johnston, Tim Green and Joe Morris, Or the 90's with McNabb, Marvin Harrison and Qadry Ismail
One of Mr. Browns more memorable quotes:
"I'd rather play lacrosse 6 days a week, and Football on Sunday."
Its been said that he was a MUCH better midfielder than he ever was as a running back. take a look at some of the old films of him as a RB... now thats just plain scary.
