Al Bundy Saints Fans?

I often wonder who has played the game at any organized level after reading threads.

I am curious as to how many fans have played the game. If you wish to put your experience in your reply that would be great. Also, please do not think that not having played is any reflection on you or your football IQ, there are a lot of high football IQ people that never played.

I for one am a fan of women's beach volleyball, cant say that I have ever played.

I played for 7 years, Jr. High through High School. I had scouts looking until I tore my hamstring middle of my Sr. year.

I went to a small A school so we did not have the luxury of playing one position. I played OT/DT , and special teams on both sides. In my Sr. year I switched to OG after dropping down to 225lbs.

I also played 9 years of baseball (Catcher) for what ever that is worth.

Played for a local, NOLA Catholic school, freshman to Senior year. Average at best. I know a LOT more about football now than I ever did back then. If I had the appreciation for the sport then, as I do now, I feel like I would have been a lot better. But as they say, hindsight is 20/20...

Never played,not even once.
This type of football wasnt popular over here when i was at school.
Anyway,not much call for someone 5`7 without blistering speed.
