    How many of you actually played football? H.S.? Collegiate? Arena? European? NFL?

    I never played organized at any level... Some fall flag leagues, but otherwise I never did. Probably the only thing I wish I would have done... played basketball through high school & college instead.

    I wanted to play QB as well, but dad thought I had a career in baseball ahead of me instead. I was plenty big... 6'4", 225. Developing a good fastball was my agenda. How big are you? Keep hittin' the weights.

    I played 3 years of football at linebacker and guard but now I'm doing rugby at college which is even more fun to play in my opinion.

    I played high school but no college. (Wrestled in college). In HS, I played WR and FS. I was pretty slow and smaller but I could catch anything close. For those of you old enough, think the Bears Waddle. I would catch anything over the middle, but would take a beating shortly after [​IMG]

    I never Played though wish I did. I played Hockey (def) and Baseball (1st,3rd) . Hockey was my favorite. We always had a real good team. Plus hokcey is MA is pretty nasty to begin with. I would have played football but our team was terrible (partly cus everyone played hockey) and I wouldn't have found it fun going out and getting killed every weekend. If I did play I probably would have been a good MLB or Saftey.

    The school I went to didn't offer football (it was a really small school), so I played basketball. I would have loved to play WR or QB, although I don't think my arm is strong enough for QB.

    They didn't offer hockey either, which in Minnesota is a very rare thing.

    WOW that is unheard of. No hockey at a high school in MINN. You would understand where I'm coming from then when I say eveyone played hockey instead of football in my area. Hockey has the biggest youth progam in New England and is by far the best sport in the area for the talant it puts out. I have skated with or against numerous Div 1, AHL, and NHL players at different points when I played. It's insane the level of talant in my area compared to the rest of the country besides your area. But at this point I'm burnt out with hockey. I still play it but can't watch it and am now totally hooked by football and Baseball will alawys be a favorite just cus the redsox have that kind of grasp even though they choke.

    I played QB my freshman year and tried to make the Varsity team my sophomore year. I wasn't good enough or tall enough, so I played baseball instead my remaining three years in high school.

    This was many many many many many moons ago...LOL
