First of all it so hard to believe that it is already August! Seems like yesterday summer break began and now it's almost over. This is my state's tax free weekend which means school bells will be ringing very soon. On the brighter side of this situation, football is permeating the atmosphere! Training camps are underway and the preseason will soon kick off. So life is definitely good!
As We eagerly approach the coming season we have another football rite of passage that is on deck, The Pro Football Hall of Fame induction of its class of 2013. Congratulations to Johnathan Ogden, Curley Culp, Larry Allen, Warren Sapp, Dave Robinson, Cris Carter, and "The Big Tuna" Bill Parcells.
Of course as a New York Giants fan from the 80's, 1986 to be exact, I am ecstatic that my first New York Giants coach is being inducted into the Hall of Fame! Bill Parcells became Giants head coach when I was a wee lass in the third grade. I had not yet learn of the ways of Big Blue, but was instead surrounded by talk of Cowboys, Redskins, Chargers, and Raiders. I am so thankful for the intervention of Coach Parcells and the Big Blue Wrecking Crew. Thanks to Lawrence Taylor, Carl Banks, Harry Carson, Leonard Marshall, and the rest of the phenomenal Big Blue defense, three years later, I saw the light and came out of NFL darkness! Even as a wee lass I knew defense was a beautiful thing!
Watching this brought chills. I grew up watching the NFL at its finest!
