About 10 years ago , I bought soybean seed from a dealer from Abilene Ks
His name was Kevin Whitehair
We talked about our boys playing highschool football
Abilene wasn't in the same league as our school
So we never got to compete against them
Anyway.... his son became a pretty good lineman
So good , he signed with KSU where he excelled as a lineman
Then in 2016 he was drafted by the Bears where he also excelled
Today he signed a 5 year extension......
For......
$52,000,000
Thats 52 million dollars

I played highschool football
I weighed 275 & was pretty strong
About 75# pounds of fat probably
I could hold my own against any lineman i come up against
...... I loved watching my boys play highschool football
But I can count on one hand the college & pro games Ive went to
I don't follow them on tv very close either
Or any other sport ....
Paying a human $10 million a year to chase another guy with a ball ?
It ain't me supporting that shrug.gif
