Anyone here NOT watching the toilet bowl tonight besides me? Going on 15 years for me!
I've NEVER watched any Super Bowl or any sports in general. If they got paid a teacher's salary and were competing for their 'Christmas Bonus'
then I
might be interested........
I had a few football cards when I was a kid. On the back side they always noted what the players did for work in the off-season. "Runs a car wash", "Sells insurance", etc.
We have a supplier who employs a person named Greg Landry. If you were a Lions fan back in the '70's (I was) the name meant a lot. I asked, and indeed it was the same guy. He's has to be in his 70's at least, and here he is, still repping.
Here in Detroit, it wasn't uncommon for athletes to work as sales reps in the off season. They used their "fame" to open doors for potential business.
