Joe the Quarterback


This last summer, I did a story for the local paper on a semi-pro football team that was playing in Bluffton. During high school, I was the starting quarterback on our junior varsity team. Before one of these semi-pro practices began this summer, I asked the coach if I could run a few plays. He said sure. -- Joe

"This was a picture of my high school Junior Varsity football team. I'm #11 in the first row (just to the right of the football). And even though I was the starting quarterback, they still spelled my last name wrong! I bet that didn't happen to Joe Namath in his high school team's football picture. Incidentally, we won some, lost some... and I even completed a few passes. But not enough passes to consider a career with the Browns. So on to the presidency -- and at least throwing out the 'first football!' Wait, is that how it goes?" --Joe
