A simple life

October 15, 2016

I’ve often been described more than once in my life as very much like a golden retriever. Just sort of happy and excited to do whatever it is even if it’s as simple as retrieving a ball and bringing it back ad nauseum. Chris Carmack

What young player hasn’t counted down the clock 3…2…1, he shoots, he scores?

Navigate

October 8, 2016
