I never played in organized football. I don't watch football. I know nothing about football. I joined a flag football team.
This past Saturday I was playing flag football in Roosevelt Park with a my Meetup group (http://www.meetup.com/flagfootball-84/) and no one seemed to want to be Quarterback for our advancement.
I took a shot at it. As you can see in the picture, I tossed the ball, it wasn't intercepted and my teammate caught it, advancing us ten yards. I QBed again and made it another "ten yards." On the third down, I threw the ball to Alex who caught it at the end of the end-zone with only one hand. Way to go Alex! Way to go me! I lived in Boston when the Patriots won the Super Bowl and imagined how cool it would be to be Tom Brady, and for a few minutes, I felt great. Wow, I threw three completions for a touchdown! So Cool!
Of course, then I QBed again and had two interceptions. Brought me back to Earth. I look forward to playing again this weekend.
What successes have you unexpectedly had that brought you some excitement?
