He Came, He Ran, He Tackled

I’m pleased to report that Torrance “Tank” Daniels, former star linebacker for the Harding University (Hail!) Bisons, is continuing his NFL sojourn and has landed a spot on special teams with The New York Giants.

Good for him, good for Harding and good for me. Good for me because that gives me a reason to pay attention to what’s going on in between the commercials come this next Super Bowl Sunday. So be on the lookout for #52 and here’s hoping that he leaves some tread marks on some patsy Patriot during a kickoff return.

I have a bone to pick with that Wiki, though. What do you mean “no notable achievements?” Excuse me, but Tank is the first Harding grad to play in the NFL and, of course, the first to take the field in a Super Bowl. No notable achievements–sheesh, gimme a break.

I’m betting that Tank, like any enterprising professional athlete, will be eager to chronicle his NFL days in one of those “journeyman-tells-all” autobiographies that are all the rage these days. If that happens, I could be his ghostwriter. I already have a 6-word title for his memoir:

He Came, He Ran, He Tackled.

Go Tank. Go Giants. Maybe a big hole will open up in the earth and swallow the Patriot team bus on the way to the stadium.

Many tanks to ME for that update.
