Football Players Can Write

I'm reading a book written by a professional football player about his adventures traveling all over the world playing their local sports. Dhani Jones, former linebacker for the NY Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and most recently the Cincinnati Bengals, hosted a show called Dhani Tackles the Globe. It ran on The Travel Channel for two seasons. He did some crazy stuff to train for and compete against some of the top players in their fields. . . lifted a 300 pound rock, for example.

It's my second time through the book.

I'm not sure why I'm reading it a second time.

It's a very interesting read. I have been trying to write a paragraph about why I like reading it so much, but heck, let's be honest, I think I just like Dhani Jones. Remember, I met him this year at a St. Vincent de Paul charity where he hosted a fun fashion show by some UC students. Then we won the bid for having drinks with him in his Mt. Adams bar. I took this photo that night.
