Sportsmeat

About a year ago, while this blog was in its infancy, I gave a brief shout out to the only professional athlete that I can claim to know personally, Ross Tucker. At the time, Ross was in a training camp battle for a roster spot and possibly even a starting job. The Browns cut him, and were rewarded for that decision with a 4-12 season (admittedly, those two events may not have a direct cause and effect relationship). Perhaps there is a Curse of the 'Meat?

Anyhow, Ross signed during the offseason with the Redskins, and again fell a bit short. Famed Montclair (N.J.) High softball fan Peter King asked him to write a brief piece on the feeling of being cut in the NFL, and the possibility that he has played in his final football game. Check it out here.

We here at the 'Meat wish Ross the best in his post-NFL endeavors. Don't be surprised to hear the name again soon in some football-related capacity. Go Spartans.
