My girlfriend's daughter / my future daughter is kind of a unique personality.  She has a lot of 'typical teenage girl' traits but is definitely her own oddball self (it's one of the things I love about her).

 

One of her quirks is that she's occasionally taken with odd whims, such as one day while she was walking with her boyfriend on a small hill she stopped and said "I've never rolled down a hill before" and promptly did so :blink:

 

That came to mind this weekend as she, her mom and I were walking back from something and she spied another small hill.  Upon which she turned to me and said 'Bet I could beat you up that hill".

 

"Bet you can't", I replied, and it was on.

 

To clarify, this was not a smooth hill.  It actually had a lot of brush on it and a significant number of small bushes.  But I agreed anyway.

 

We raced.  I won!

 

Her excuse was that I was faster than she thought I'd be.  "Ten years of football, six years of track and three of tae kwon do" I said, enjoying my victory.

 

But victory has its price.

 

I tripped two or three times going up the hill.  Still managed to recover and win the race, but as a result got somewhere from six to ten small scratches and cuts all over my hands and forearms, the kind you get from scratching against a tree or a hedge.  Those kind can get sore real easily.

 

But hey, I got bragging rights, so it was worth it :D

 

(sort of) :unsure:

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
