Football or More Duck Hunting?

[Redbeard]

Since you asked the question ...it means you ain't cut out for duck hunting. A true hunter would hunt and never ask if he should go play football.
You, are a football player. Not a duck hunter.

wrong...he'd a kid dumbshit

[3legged_lab]

College is overrated.

Would've been funny had you misspelled a word.

[Feelin' Fowl]

The one thing I've noticed here is they get roughly 75-125 kids on the team, where everyone pays their dues and everyone works hard at practice etc. then it comes to the games and only 25 out of those 100 kids play the whole season yet everyone paid their fees and did the work. That's why I never will play football and the reason I quit basketball.

So let me ask you this. Your kid wants to play football. You put out the $100 or whatever it is. The kid bust ass for a couple months in practice then gets no play time for all 10 games of the season or however many there is. Is that alright with you?

Yes. The kids that give the team the best chance to win should play. We're taking football, not girl scout cookie sales.

Why the hell would you pay to play football? At my highschool it's free. I know you were aaskinng dedeyedan, but if I had a kid and he kid didn't play i would be fine with that, because he wasn't working hard enough, or just wasn't good enough. If he quit because he didn't play, I would be pissed. Would you quit duck hunting if you couldn't hit shit?

depends what age the kid is.

9 or 10? The kid should get to play. Their developing fundamentals at that age

High school age? It's time to man up. Life isn't fair. If you haven't learned how to be a supportive teammate and push and challenge the first string, you've failed. If you end the season bitter cause you didnt play enough, you've failed.

You'll grow up a shitty, selfish teammate in whatever career you chose. Nothing will ever be your fault.

$180 registration fee for rocket football
$350 for helmet/pads/cleats

He wanted to quit after the first week of practice, told him "too bad. You can't quit on your team. If you don't want to play next year, remember this"
By the end of the 9-1 season, he was starting nose tackle, and the team won the league championship, and earned a trophy.

Fault, that's the key word. I see it everytime. A team loses a game and everybody starts pointing fingers. That's why I shoot trap competitively. If something goes wrong, I have no one else to blame but myself.

No, the key words were everything Dan said before "fault".

I dont know, I've hunted with a few guys....

[ducks~n~bucks]

Is it any more realistic to think that football would be a career than hunting?

I didn't say anything about football as a career, and I have no desire to play football after highschool.

Sorry, thought that you meant you would hunt more, but you said it wasn't realistic that you could make a career out of it. I thought you were implying that if you played football instead of hunting, you could make a career out of that.

[jarbo03]

If you're good, football can pay for an education.

[assateague]

If you add up all the deer I've killed, I've probably saved more than a college education in grocery bills.

[jarbo03]

I ate nothing but shit I killed while in college, do both.

a perk to living in Maryland that DnB dosen't get

[assateague]

True. I have to find any perks I can, so I don't go on a killing spree from living here.

[Redbeard]

DnB...I get where you're coming from. In high school I missed a ton a hunting opportunities with my dad, grandpa and uncle because of basketball. Looking back I regret missing those hunting trips. However I wouldn't have changed a thing because I was very passionate about basketball and still am. I also needed the competition

You don't sound passionate about football. You sound like you enjoy it...like its a fun thing to do with your buddies. But only you know the truth here.

Me personally, if I weren't passionate about basketball I would have regretted playing and missing all those hunting trips

[FlintRiverFowler]

What position do you play, and are you a starter? Or at least get a good bit of playing time? I your riding the bench id say go hunting.

well done Red.
i have had my kid in combative sports her entire life. she is good enough to make it to the olymipics in 2016 for judo. last fall she stopped everything. no judo no sambo and no taekwondo.many tens of thousands of dollars into it all over the years. i was and still am pissed.
but she learned hard work and sportsmanship, im happy for that.
keep playing football the ducks will be there when you are done

I see what your saying. I don't like having to miss hunting during football season because my dad really doesn't hunt often without me. He won't hunt by himself anymore, and usually I am his only hunting partner, because most of his freinds are in his same line of work, and they don't get a lot of days off, because my dad hogs up most of the winter vacation time.

[ducks~n~bucks]

Pffffft!

[R. Chapman]

Pffffft!

Bullshit!

[ducks~n~bucks]

She could care less if I play football or not. When I show up to school in a cowboy hat, pearlsnap, and wranglers. the girls crawl all over me. Also a couple four letter words, manners and respect.

[RonE]

Next time you kill a duck and get it back to the blind, cut the head and neck off close to the body....Cut the feet and legs off close to the body.......What do you have? A fucking football.

Next question..........
