Were you good at sports in school?

[Greenway4Prez]

Nah, not really.

I was a really good baseball player growing up, and it was by FAR the sport I loved the most. But, starting in 7th grade my vision deteriorated rapidly, and instead of admitting it, I basically played with the whole world being a blur. So, I went from being a standout to a scrub. And by the time I accepted my 4-eyed fate freshman year and was all set to play baseball that spring…my brother passed away and I was too grief-stricken to do much of anything for about 6 months.

In basketball, I was a really good 3-point shooter, but it was about the only thing I could do and I just didn’t enjoy playing the game; my attitude stunk. My best game, not surprisingly, was my last. Sophomore year, I dressed varsity (1A school) and had 14 off the bench in the second half when the two guys ahead of me had foul trouble/sprained ankle. I was in total “Eff it” mode and just went off. That was fun, but coach was understandably pissed. Did not see the floor at all during districts.

Decent golfer, but didn’t really do anything of note.

I was a 3 year varsity letterman in panty dropping.

Ended up playing baseball at Iowa until my arm fell off against Michigan State. Then I became a fulltime alcoholic.

2 time all state for football. I ended up getting a scholarship and playing all 4 years at FCS level. I could have walked on at Iowa but didn’t like the way Reese Morgan recruited me. Had a snarky attitude. Probably because I wasn’t good enough.

Very average. Played 4 sports at a small HS. Baseball was the only sport I would have been able to play at a large school. Only played football my SR. year because of consolidation. Fall baseball before then. Fortunately all the teams I played were good so that made it fun. And I love sports. Played two years D-3 college baseball.

To answer the OP's question, I was good enough to letter in two sports, beginning as a sophomore. I played a third sport but not enough to letter. I'm not going to get into the internet not-so-subtle brags the OP is looking for.

Rugby: started at a D1 school in college that was ranked top-10 each year. I and played men's league after college. Rugby took me to play in some cool places such as Australia, England, Spain, and a few other countries in Europe. Australia was this summer and that's the last I'll probably he playing. I'm 34 hanging it up. My MCL is iffy.

Did you go to any NRL games this Summer? I knew you talked about getting into it. I watched the playoffs on Fox Soccer Plus and stayed up for the Grand Final on FS2, with Penrith Panthers beating Melbourne Storm. They’re bonkers about rugby league, I see. Still prefer Union, but I get the more constant action of league being entertaining.

Yep! Went and saw Penrith Panthers vs the Parramatta Eels, which was a ton of fun. Tons of action and Parramatta blew a massive lead late in the game.

I also prefer Union but League is a lot of fun- lots of big collisions and high tackles (dumb, but fun to see people get their heads ripped off, admittedly).
