John P. Freeman played in a scrimmage against Bellevue this morning. It started @ 9 and would you believe less than an hour before the game lil dude come to me and tell me that he can't find his mouthpiece.

Shot up to the closest WalMart I could find and bought two . Lesson I learned while searching stores to find that ONE particular baby pacifier that got lost while the wife was at work and plus, I do hate last minute ripping and running. Told him last night to get his gear together for today's game.

The scrimmage ended after 12. Never been to a 3 hour scrimmage before and it was hotter than a firecracker today. Wasn't like a real game, each team ran about ten consecutive plays on offense then it was the other teams turn.

Ran into quite a few old acquaintances of mine @ the game today. Three of them I've known since back in the day @ Graves & Raineshaven Elem. schools. Holla back @ them next game.

So we @ the game when I hear the coach cussing while he's talking to one of his linebackers then some mom in the stands says, "did you hear that? he's cussing at that child!"

Until that second, it hadn't occured to me that here it is an adult using profanity towards a child right in the middle of the field so loud that everyone can hear. He wasn't belittling him for his performance but telling him what he did wrong and the right way to do it but still he WAS cursing.

I was listening to the mom talking about the coach's choice of words while watching the same linebacker get back in position for the next play. They called a sweep to the outside and he went right down the line and made the tackle. Put a good lick on the other kid too.

I looked back to see the lady's face 'cause she was still on the coach's ass. I began to think of the time when I played little league football 'cause the powers that be cut out football my junior high years. The way I felt when the coach got in my ass when I made mistakes. Hell, it made me want to go hit somebody!! So I laughed to myself as I thought....

Fvck that, this is football lady!
