Bragging about his kid, not his own jr high football

Doesn’t bother me- just putting out the facts.

And maybe the posting ad about empathy- but it comes off as bragging on your kid. And I’m all for that actually.

It’s just that we are on a message board, so you know, busting people’s balls is part of it

Uh, yea. I guess soccer players are gear dorks. The junior cleats were cheaper, but once you get up into adult sizes you get adult prices. There are much more expensive ones out there.

Unless you know the person IRL it's hard to differentiate posts like his from the my son Aiden is basically in the bigs because he hits dingers during travel ball

You're right... He may should have just worded it a little bit.

And my 8 yr old does ball out for his travel ball team, but I'll save everyone the stats and just wait until LSU gives him the first full ride for baseball....

my kid really loves LSU but the feelers put out by his trainer indicates there's just going to be too much signing bonus money to turn down by where he's projected to go in the draft brb, he just dropped his pacifier and is about to fall out of the high chair....

My Grandson is in his first year of peewee football. Because of his size (height and build) he's playing on the line on both sides of the ball. I'm hoping once he reaches middle school, He can play in the running back or linebacker position. With the last name Cannon, I just want to see him with number 20 under his name on that jersey.

My boy is going to embarrass some middle school kids in soccer this weekend at Midnight Madness.


I will be there and will watch some of your boy's games to see if he really is as good as you say he is.

You let your kids play football and risk getting multiple severe concussions/CTE? Some great parenting going on here.

He should be playing 9th grade ball if he's that good

They're SMSC 06B Blue Roadrunners. Play Mandeville at 11, and Fire at 3:30 on the Orange fields. My boy will be the tallest kid on the field, and in the middle all game.

My boy will go out for football in 7th, we held him back so he's in 6th as a 12yr old, if just to kick. They won't let him simply go out for that, so he may find another position he likes more.


Had a couple soccer fig boys think they would do the same thing as freshmen at my son’s school. Just wanted to kick so that say they’re on the football team. They’re having a rough go of it.

Nothing like living through your son because you sucked at sports.

My boy will start in 7th, and yea...he doesn't know it yet, but he does not want to play WR like he thinks he does. He can kick the frick out of it though.
