At 39 years old I had the opportunity to try out for a semi-pro football team. WELL I made the team and had the opportunity to re-suit the pads, the helmet and the uniform again.
It was one of the greatest opportunities a HAS BEEN could get. I played for the love of the game, no pay, buying my own equipment, paying my own way. It was by far the best football experience I have ever had. I played inthe final 4 my senior year and nothing could compare to the RETURN.
So for the love of the game..... by far is the opportuniy to re-live a dream.
39 years old, starting nose guard on a semi-pro football team, with the next oldest player being 25.........and being older than the head coach and the owner.. Yea I can definitley say that I got to play for the love of the game.

That's really a touching story. Every athlete dreams of a second chance, you was one of lucky ones and one thing i want to say is im happy for you. I'm a senior this year and ever since my last game, the only thing I have thought about is FOOTBALL. The fact of the matter is, without football, i dont know where I would be. More than likely into something I shouldn't be. I've always said there is nothing like suiting up for a home game, running out and then the Nation Anthem played. I played for Betsy Layne and as everbody knows on here we definetely wouldn't the the best team by any stretch of the imagination. It was more than that for me. For me it was the friends you make, and the memories. Memories that will last a lifetime. Football in my opinion is by far the best sport anyone could play.
