“YOU GET PAID A LOT OF MONEY TO CATCH THAT BALL!!!!”
I was young, the Denver Broncos were playing, and Rick Upchurch had just dropped another easy catch. My dad wanted to be sure our next door neighbors were aware of his displeasure. My much-nearer eardrums had nearly loosed my bladder.
Upchurch was an interesting player to watch. A wide receiver who seemed to NEED to concentrate to make a catch. He could find a way to catch a ball one-handed that no human being should have had the ability to get to, let alone pull down.
