When Josh Hill told his oldest son he was being released by the only NFL team he's played for, the New Orleans Saints, he was greeted with surprising enthusiasm.
"He was excited," Hill said Tuesday. "He said, 'Let’s go somewhere where there’s snow. I’m tired of this heat down here.' And I was like, 'All right, we’ll see.' So I guess his wish was granted. He’s going to see some snow.'"
Hill signed a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions last Saturday and said he and his family will move to Detroit after the school year ends, ensuring snow is in their future.
