akcash Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 So I never played anything other than in the NYS adult league. This was back in '05 I was like 19. It was the same league the Buffalo Gladiators played in... I played for the Lyndonville Tigers... I played kind of a nickel linebacker role... We were playing the CNY Express and they had a guy named Chris Bresnahan... He was on the Patriots at one time... I was the 12th guy on the field and I put a hit on him. That's the closest I ever got to NFL action lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I get it - very sneaky...and so true now, particularly with what California just enacted...can't wait for the NCAA's reaction to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalobloodfloridahome Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I made UCF's backup QB look bad in Intramurals. Pretty sure i could of thrown the ball to Brandon marshall and gotten more yards than that bum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaccof Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I won the Jr. division of the PBA tour event in Buffalo during the summer of 1977 or 78 - think it was called the Big E open....beat a couple pros....no organized football though - too scrawny...

I'm 6'3" and can run a 4.4 in the 40 and I have always been among the most athletic people that I know. I set the high jump record at my middle school and high school. Played WR. I played in high school but we moved around so much growing up that I never really had a chance to do anything. I felt like I was pretty good. I played ball with people who played on college teams and could always play to their level. BUT, I have always been injury prone, so I think I would have been one of those guys that has skills but is always injured. Is that you Al Bundy?

Insanely athletic, incredible arm, more accurate than people give him credit for, needs to stop being the hero and stop being so sloppy with the ball. Love his leadership and intangibles. Footwork is better but still needs consistency. 14 hours ago, NewEra said: Awesome. Congrats on a great college career and making great memories I once had an ESPN the Magazine with you on the cover that sat in my bathroom for several months. Thank god for smart phones! No more of those magazines cluttering the throne room. Haha I didn’t think anybody would even guess or remember who I was. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very common for young QBs. Footwork, which is very coachable, also has a big determination on ball placement and throwing accuracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
