I love the draft
When I was a yute I skipped school with fake cough on draft day even though wasn’t on TV. I kept checking WBZ radio and boom I get ‘the Patriots drafted a Tight End from Oregon named Russ Francis who didn’t even play and was like the world record holder in javelin or some cockamamie thing’
Here I am with my Sport Magazine, Sporting
News and Boston Globe sports section with Will McDonagh mock all spread out on floor as a 12 or 13 year old all excited and they draft a guy who throws a shot putt or discus or something and didn’t even play.
I used up a valuable fake sick day for this ????
Outrageous
Anyways this folks was our world 45-50 years ago and actually it wasn’t bad - we had to use our imagination more and I had no bleeping idea who or what a Russ Francis even looked like but it was fun regardless
