Tailgating, UCLA Style: Playing It Safe

You may be looking at this photo and wondering why the heck there is a picture of a field goal attempt in an article about tailgating.

Well, this week, we’re talking about safety, and Eric McNeal is one of my favorites. Why? Because he intercepted a pass by John David Booty late in the fourth quarter on December 2, 2006. That interception would cement one of the greatest scores of all time.

13-9.

I’ll never forget it. I’ll also never forget the day I had to have my wedding ring cut off my finger at the Rose Bowl because I decided to wear it while playing football.
