This past weekend was spent enjoying the American sport of Football!
Friday night we hit up the Rush Henrietta High game at Fisher. Travis, one of many cousins, plays starting right guard on offense. Note: this is one of the positions I use to play for the Greece Arcadia Titans back in the day. Not much glory, but a key position for the running game. RH’s o-line had no problem producing holes you could drive a bus though, they just need to teach the halfback to keep two hands on the ball and wrap it up when getting tackled.
Saturday was the Ithaca – Brockport game. Joe Napoleone, another cousin, plays cornerback for the Bombers. This was my first chance to see him play and I have to say I was amazed at how good he is. Our family is fairly athletic, but Joe’s above and beyond most of us by far. He made some key plays on defense with an interception in the end zone to be one of the major highlights. Ithaca came into Brockports house on homecoming weekend and put on clinic. The Brockport stands were rather empty once the 4th quarter started. NICE!
Then of course Sunday was spent at Ralph Wilson Stadium to see the Bills win by the skin of their teeth over Minnesota. At halftime they inducted indited Andre Reed to the wall of fame, which had most of us pining over the good old days of the early 90′s Superbowl days…
Anyway, as I stated in my last post this is becoming a annual event for the West crew. It’s the 5th year they have done this and it was the first time I was in attendance. You can bet your ass I will be here again next year.
Update: My apologies. Andre Reed was inducted, OJ Simpson was the one who was indited…

just think, if buffalo still had that crew from the early nineties they would have lost 16 superbowls by now.
Well I will hold you to that. You should make the West Football Extravaganza every year if schedule permits. Was good having you home.
Ohh, I’ll be there…
