since I was 8 years old I wanted 1 football jersey with my name on the back, but in high school I was a immature 18 year old bench warmer, 225 ponds at that, in 1981 the Cincinnati Bengals were making a run for the Superbowl and won, just like my US army platoon won the marksmanship trophy and the chance to watch the Superbowl during basic training. I didn't drink beer, so I was put in charge of the beer. in 2018 I had my first of 4 so far cancer surgeries on my face, leaving me with Bengal tiger stripes on my face.....okay....I'll bite.....sports team t-shirt? [BTW, how are ya feeling buddy?]
So after the first surgery, I am sitting there in my outdoor Yuma desert recliner, watching NFL, a sale on jerseys was happening, $150.00 jersey for only $100.00 and that included shipping. so pulled out the phone, pulled out visa and for the first time in my life bought something really frivolous, a Cincinnati Bengal football jersey....with the number 81.........Rutgers university graduated a tight end that was drafted by the NFL Bengals, they gave him number 81, his name, who now plays for the Bills...was Tyler Kroft.......my last name.
I have a new growth on my face.....and if they operate to remove that growth......I am buying that Bills jersey also.....that is how I am feeling...I eventually have to Buffalo this cancer!!!!
