LOL, I went to a Patriots thing and they had cheerleaders there posing for pictures if you wanted them, and the mascot was there. At some point, I saw the person take the head off, and it was some small gal.
I’m sure next season, Gronk will lay the guy out during a game and tell her that was from the girl in the Pats Patriot outfit at the Pro Bowl!
Chivalry still lives...:)
I remember a story from some years ago (I think it might have been from Jerry Kramer’s “Run to Daylight” about his days with the Packers) where Jerry Kramer was injured and couldn’t play.
Kramer’s backup on Green Bay on that year in the Sixties was some rookie, and in the first game they played against the Lions that year, he was opposite Alex Karras, the defensive lineman for the Lions (best one in the league...apparently, a beast by a far margin. Jerry Kramer said he had actual real nightmares about playing against Karras)
The new young guy pretty much held him in check for the entire game.
After the game, being interviewed, the rookie offensive lineman said “He didn’t show me much. I wasn’t that concerned.”
He didn’t know Karras was injured and couldn’t move well.
The next game some months later, Karras was well, and they played again, and Karras absolutely destroyed him, at one point leaving him dizzy on the ground, and as Karras stepped over the stunned rookie, he turned back to look down on him and said:
“How does my ass taste now, asshole?”
