An Eph in Foxboro
I am guilty of excessive pride about my alma mater. And now a kid with whom I have personal connections, who is clearly bright as well as a brilliant athlete, might make my favorite football team. It really is a great piece, reveals a good deal about why I am so fond of Coach Farley (this is his son, and he is still such a crusty realist – I can hear his voice in my head as I read his words – and yet I am well aware of how proud he is of Scott), and also of Williams sports. And as an added bonus, the piece mentions my friend Ethan Brooks, one of my former teammates, who plays for the Baltimore Ravens.
As if I don’t have enough reason to be following the Pats training camp every day, this provides one more.
