    Football??

    My cousin plays football. He's pretty good. He played high school quarterback for a small Southwest Wisconsin high school. He walked on to a pretty well known college in the area, the Wisconsin Badgers, as a wide receiver. Now, he plays for the Cincinnati Bengals. If anyone is a Bengals fan or just a general football fan and watched any of the preseason games, you may have seen a few really nice plays he had. Actually, he scored both of the Bengals' touchdowns. He caught one pass in the endzone in, I believe, the 2nd quarter. He also returned a punt for a touchdown. Additionally, he did the press conference after the game. I haven't seen him in a while because of the bowl games and training schedules, but all the same, he's still my cousin and I love watching him. His name????? Alex Erickson.

    It really is. We usually go to at least one Badgers game every year and the last few years were really special. While we don't live in Ohio, it's not that far from here and would be a really fun weekend for the whole family if we could go to a game if he makes the team.

    Cool! I teach a lot of students who are football players, and a few have gone pro. Not the same, but I do enjoy seeing them succeed. Kudos to your cousin!
