Thirsty?

By Tim Beggs ( Contact )   December 20, 2011

You see it during every pro football game. There's a time out on the field and here comes a grown man with a towel and a bottle of water. His job is to assist by squirting some quality h20 into the players mouths. Bobby Boucher would be proud. You mean you can't do it yourself? Are we that lazy that we need a guy on the payroll to assist with water distribution? Do players need help getting dressed too? When will it end. Back in my day we drank water all by ourselves! We didn't need no help. Who's more important. The guy who assists with water, or the guy who hands the quarterback his ballcap after he comes off the field?

Tim, I've always found it heartwarming how Al refills your water bottle for you in the mornings and how you hand him his ball cap after his sports cast is finished. I think you're *both* important!
