One sign that we are getting fatter as a country:

Young Throbber played on the junior tennis circuit as a young lad. But then had misguided dreams of an NBA career and gave up the sport.

About the only regret of my life.

Lil' piss 1.0 thinks he's gonna be an NFL QB. He's does have a cannon of an arm for a lanky ass 5'3" 9 year old.

Right or left handed? I know some guysm…

@Fishpo31 we did not tie his right arm behind his back at an early age.

Also - and I mean no disrespeck - Mrs Snow and I loathe the though of youth travel beisbol.

Probably, leaving millions of dollars on the table. We are terrible parents.

No disrespeck taken...I was mocking the state of Yute baseball in general. He should play whatever he wants to, for as long as he wants to, not because Dad and Mom dumped $5G into year-round training, and twice that for family "vacations" to play for endless "World Series" trophies, and ultimately the "FULL RIDE scholarship"...

After a few cacktails, I will tell you that I gave my old man grief about not tying my right arm down, until the day he died…I use my left arm/hand for everything except throwing. An old scout (a big tim guy, too) once told me, after I had thrown a complete game where my catcher had to tie my spikes because my back was fucked up, “If you were left-handed, I’d sign you right fucking now”…so I became a pitching corch…Ooh La La…

I am self-reporting a drunk-posting violation, for quote-posting myself…but I meant what i posted…

My 1.5 year old is a lefty and I've seen him wing a hot wheel pretty damn far when he loses his shit.

Tennis could very well be the worst sport for someone to pick up if they're fat. Sounds like an ACL waiting to happen.

There are plenty of fat old people who can spin a tennis ball far better than their appearance would ever suggest cause they have the wrist flick and timing to hit stupid spins.

They look like they shouldn't be on a court, yet the ball comes off their racket like it is supposed to. Old lady lower levels it is super common. The biggest stain on the sport quite honestly.

Not to sound like fucking Larry Scott, but with learned, high level skills you can definitely get away with not being able to cover as much court.

And you will wear an athletic person out with a great serve and placement.
