Right now Ktreva isnÂ’t speaking to me. SheÂ’s very upset at a decision IÂ’ve made. Today the Rock River Raptors are having open try-outs, and after much deliberation IÂ’ve decided to try out. For those of you that donÂ’t remember, the Raptors are the local United Indoor Football league team that I support.

Every time I watch a football game I see guys on the field and I think to myself, I can block better then that. Now I know the NFL players would kill me, but this is the UIF. These are the guys that werenÂ’t good enough to make the NFL, CFL or even the AFL. I actually stand a chance against these guys. So IÂ’m going to try to get a position on the line, offensive or defensive.

Sure I havenÂ’t played football in 17 years, IÂ’m out of shape and have some medical problems, but next year I will be too old to try out. If IÂ’m going to do it, this is the year. In about two hours IÂ’m going to head down to the MetroCentre and try to walk onto the team. Right now Ktreva is giving me a laundry list of reasons for why I shouldnÂ’t do it. Mainly because IÂ’m out of shape, have some medical problems, will probably create some new medical problems and IÂ’m just too old for this type of nonsense. She mentioned how I canÂ’t bounce back from injuries like I used to do. Bah! What does she know anyway?

On a slightly related note, IÂ’ve heard from numerous people that the Raptors have a commercial with me in it. From what IÂ’ve been told they focus on me at one point when IÂ’m cheering the team during a game. I have yet to see this commercial, so IÂ’m not sure how big of a dork I actually look like.

Well, IÂ’m going to go get ready and argue with Ktreva some more. Wish me luck! And I promise to give you an update later on how I did.
