byufan4everA great funny story! This is from his new book coming out next week:
Even on the field, I canât escape the craziness. We play the Colts at home. Partway through the second quarter Iâm in the huddle when the head referee taps me on the shoulder. âCan I talk to you for a second?â he says. I step away from the huddle. âHey, listen, my daughterâs going to BYU,â he whispers. Next thing I know he starts trying to convince me that I should meet his daughter. âI'd like you to take her out,â he says.I cannot believe this. Weâre in the middle of a game! âOh, okay,â I said. âWhat's her name?ââ He tells me and I return to the huddle ... Late in the game weâre down 31-23 and I'm trying to mount a comeback. I scramble out of the pocket and take a brutal hit. It causes me to fumble just before the whistle blows to stop the play. I am lying on the ground when the defense recovers the loose ball, all but sealing our defeat. Suddenly out of nowhere a yellow flag lands next to me. The referee whose daughter is headed to BYU calls a personal foul on the defense. First down, Tampa Bay. I get up and brush myself off. Then the ref walks past me and whispers she likes Italian food.
