Okay, So I\'m Getting Old

It\'s true...I am getting old. I mean I *am* only thirty, but I played some footbal yesterday and woke up this morning stiff as a board. Walking up and down stairs and carryin\' my computer bag around is such a challenge.
This wasn\'t supposed to happen to me...I was supposed to be like the energizer bunny and keep going. You wouldn\'t believe the places I hurt right now. I hurt in places that I didn\'t even know have nerve endings.
The worse thing is, I believe I am one of the youngest of the group of people that were playing and here I am, probably the most sore. (I do give 110% though, maybe that\'s why I am always picking myself up off the ground.)
I always thought I wanted to be the one scoring touchdowns and catching passes. While I do that, I really look forward to being the guy chasing down the QB. Yesterday I had two sacks, a few tips, a couple of near interceptions to boot. Not bad for an old fart.
It looked like my day was totally going to suck however, as I wathed my Redkskins vs. Lions game get usurped on fox by the friggin\' Tigger movie. I was livid! Then i checked my fantasy football team only to find 10 minutes too late that Duce Staley would be sitting out the game. Still somehow I managed to have the best week I\'ve had so far with 102 points. I totally wiped out one opponent and am ahead of my other opponent by 19 points going into monday night football.
He stands a chance at beating me since he\'s got a great reciever in tonights game, but 20 points may not be doable. We\'ll see. Even so, if I lose tonight I\'ll still be up out of last place by three games. Again, not bad for an old fart.
