Okay, my beautiful friends, I have some fun news that is...fun.
I got to hang with Michael taaffe and Jordan Washington today as they participated in a summer football camp. And yes, the Sacred Surly football made an appearance.
The camp was free, so kids who didn't normally get a chance to participate in training got great access.
Michael was awesome. He is very excited about this season and he wants to go pro. The most interesting thing that he told me that the training and discipline that he learned as a very young player were the tools that helped him rise from a 0-star college walk-on to a starter at his dream school and he is fully committed to having success in the pros. He is very charismatic and the kids loved his energy, easy laughter and kindness. He demonstrated drills and he, Jordan and the other coaches were very engaging. It was fun talking about his magnificent INT vs Quinn in the state championship game, probably the best INT I've seen live. I wished him health and success in his ultimate goal. My beautiful wife made Michael sign a Westlake hat. Michael knows Surly Horns, haha.
Jordan was another one. He's very easy-going and full of smiles. Dude is large and solid and very nimble. He is excited about his opportunities this season. He really connected with the kids, and was even tying kid's shoes. He is a gentleman and a good person. I am excited for him this year, and wished him success and health, of course.
The glory of the Sacred Surly football continues to grow and it is getting close to the delivering it to @immamac . I would be really happy if he just keeps it, cause he deserves it for creating this amazing site. But if he wants to auction it off, so be it. I talk a lot of crap and post a lot of stupid stuff, but love this community and all of you.
When I purchased the balls for Quinn to sign, I had no idea this project would grow and now look at the signatures:
Quinn Ewers
Arch Manning
Michael taaffe
Jordan Washington
Quintrevion Wisner
Jahdae effing Barron
Isaiah Bond
Gunnar Helm
Cheers,
