Re: Those that played football.....
No, but I did.
The one thing I remember about football is your whole body was one giant bruise, especially in the first month or so. Your skin toughens-up and doesn't bruise as easily later in the season.
Playing the games was a blast. But mostly I remember everybody was overjoyed when the season finally ended, the practices are such drudgery.
Soccer looks like much more fun to me than football. Football practice was just a series of Vince Lombardi-inspired drills and a lot of yelling. We never actually played football in practice except in very rare scrimmages. Evidently playing football is too dangerous to do.

Did your Mom freak out when you came home bruised and battered?
