Always loved soccer but fell away from it the past several years. CLTFC sparked my interest back and SB&C have kept the fire going. I suppose I play soccer also but nowadays I just play Video Games or Boardgames. If you ever catch me at the tailgate, ask me to make you a Jalepeno Hand Grenade (Adult Drank).
