I think sports and bodybuilding were the only things that saved me from getting beat up. People are not pleased, for whatever reason, when you can answer all the questions in class. If not for the respect I got from track, cross-country, wrestling an...
I had too much respect for the game to leave it behind or to make it my second or third sport in college.
