I can’t explain why this subject popped into my head today but I’m just going to run with it err maybe I’ll just punt! Yes I said punt.  Today I realized that I think I may have pursued the wrong career. I think I should have been an NFL punter.  I can’t really say why I feel this way other than something deep down in my ever growing gut tell me that’s what I really should have done.      I mean back in the day I was a pretty good football player, had a little speed decent moves, good hands, just didn’t have the size, or as some coaches would say the attention span to really go far in the game. Back then the punter was just who ever could kick the ball farther than everyone else on the team. I could have been the QB the RB the Flanker, heck our best kickers seemed to be Linemen as I recall.         I just don’t know why I didn’t try a little harder to be the punter. I mean it wasn’t the glory position, but man if I’d just worked at it, who knows, I could been one of the greats.  Just think all you had to do was kick the ball all week keeping you’re leg ready to go. And then find yourself on a great team that has a great offense and maybe you’d have to go out there and kick what 4-5 times a game and the rest of the time just hang loose. But then again I could have ende3d up on a bad team like The Detroit Lions in the 70’s . I could have been Herman Weaver the long time Lions kicker who must have had to punt 10 times a game as bad as they were. So bad in fact Herman Weaver still holds the record for most punts blocked in a career! But who would care you would have still been an NFL player, right!      But wait, there’s that part about being the outcast on the team, pretty much left out when it came to being a team member, and those single bar face masks, and the wimpy shoulder pads no pads in your pants and having to go retrieve all those balls you had to kick in practice! Damn that would have sucked. I don’t think I would have liked fetching my own balls everyday, that’s a hell or a lot of walking.        Oh well maybe I found the right career after all. I mean I get to play rock music all day, talk, talk, talk and talk even more, god knows I do like doing that. Plus I get to be a part of a great team. So Scratch all of what I just wrote above, I’m pretty happy with my career path after all. I just wish DJ’s had some kind of jersey and our name on our backs, and maybe something to kick every once in a while, cause I still think that would be fun to be able to kick the **** out of something every once in a awhile. Like every night after I watch the news!!!
