Episode #245 (Archive Dive #7): Firsthand Football

...standing on the NFL sidelines.

Still waiting to be drafted.

Howdy folks:

Welcome to Michael Perry’s Voice Mail, episode 245. In honor of the final week of the NFL football regular season, this one’s available to free and paid subscribers alike. Click the player above to listen.

The story of this shot is included in today’s episode.

In this episode I explain how the very first time I attended a professional football game, I was on the field with the team. As has often been the case with my career, I got there by coming at things from an angle.

For the rest of the story (and to find out just how big them fellas look up close), please click the player above to listen. For a photo series of how the game ended and to see this week’s marginalia, please scroll down.

And thank you for listening.

Forward!
Mike
