The End of Football

Click on the badge to check out these fun Sunday Meme's. It's all about quoting what I'm gonna miss.


One of the great disappointments of a football game is that the cheerleaders never seem to get injured. -Author Unknown

Probably not the kindest quote, but it about sums up the 42-0 loss Elijah's team suffered today in the bitter cold of Fall. I'm sure he would have appreciated hearing it as he lay on the grass right after he was grabbed by the face mask and whipped like a rag doll.

He threw the best he could, but it wasn't quite good enough.


He ran hard chasing down tackles. Yes, he played both sides of the field all game.

If he wasn't under pressure then no one was open to catch the pass.

Although it wasn't a successful day, he looked good out there leading his team.

It was a bitterly cold damp day in the low 40's with a nasty wind. Not a spectators day.

He's looked hard for the open man.


“The road to Easy Street goes through the sewer.”--John Madden

And did he ever try to drag them to the sewer.

This is not a sight a quarterback wants to see. If they kept stats there is no doubt he was the highest sacked QB in the league.

We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time. ~Vince Lombardi


That's it. Over. I'm going to miss this moment. I am so proud of that man-boy.

I like that Vince Lombardi quote!
Elijah looks like he's trying as hard as is humanly possible, but I guess on that day a win just wasn't to be.
Must've been cold out there for the photographer, but you got some great shots of the action!
