I just won a Go Green mile race with a time of 4:19 and won $250 in March.

Wouldn't this make you ineligible for college athletics? I ran track and cross in college and know if I ever accepted prize money I'd be ineligible so would think this would be a concern.

Nope. Apparently this is an exception, it was okayed by the school's athletic department and several student-athletes participated. Not sure what the circumstances were to make it an exception, but it was primarily a fundraiser for Project YESU, (but wasn't a sanctioned racing event) so maybe that did it? Anyways, I'm not even a student yet, just have an agreement with the athletic department that may or may not be held up when I return from my mission. And if not, then that's a shame.

I played high school ball as a tight end, and a Hybrid corner/linebacker. We weren’t sophisticated enough to have opponents they always had a wide receiver on that side so I’d move inside a lot.

Don’t currently play sports, I’ve played football for about 12 years, wrestling for about 12 as well, Soccer for leagues outside of football season,  track, baseball, tennis. 
 

Football and Soccer are my two favorites, however being in the same season I played football and wrestling mostly. Whenever I got the chance to play a new sport I’d try it out at a young age, luckily I was able to find out If I like most sports first hand. 
 

Who is your dream girl? (those that are married, go ahead and say your wife! That way she doesn't beat you senseless when she browses through you history):

Why did you choose your username?: Couldn’t think of anything so initials and favorite number. Used to be on this forum about 7 years ago. Posted a TON and got to know most of you who still are on! Even won some forum awards haha  Previous name was ramforlife81-39 but had  came across the new forum yesterday and joined with a new name after such a long time. Good to be back! 

Name one really cool event in your life.: My first ever rams game in the dome in 07! I live in the tri state area so it’s always been hard to see games, I was taken in 07 when I was in middle school to see the rams play, got to meet Chris long (first of 3 times I met him) and many other players. That trip was the reason I fell in love with St. Louis and was crushed when they moved back to LA, however I’m still a die hard fan and LOVED LA when I went to go see them two years ago at the colosseum. 
 

THATS ALL FOLKS! Excited to talk some football! Also glad many of you still use the forum after my 7 year gap haha

Who is your favorite Rams player? Past or Present?: 
Past-Aeneas Williams

Present-Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp.
What do you do?: 
Franchise Partner for the worlds largest junk removal service. 
What other teams are you a fan of?:
Baseball-Cincinnati Reds

Basketball-Philadelphia 76ers

College-Texas Longhorns for all sports. 
Do you play sports? If you've hung up the cleats, inform us of your glory days when you used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter-mile.:
Currently I'll partake in some flag football when these 29 year old knees will allow. But played baseball and football throughout high school. Had multiple scholarship offers for both but figured making money early was better than spending it early. 
Who is your dream girl? (those that are married, go ahead and say your wife! That way she doesn't beat you senseless when she browses through you history): 
That's a toss up. Blake Lively or Sarah Chalke (Elliot Reed from Scrubs.) Can't forget Margot Robbie either. 
What do you like to eat?: 
Not a picky eater by any means. I love a good pasta dish, a great steak and all things seafood. Sushi is my weakness for sure. 
What other hobbies do you have?:
I don't really do anything besides work and talk/research sports. Sports essentially dictate my life, which is why growing up a Rams fan has been detrimental to my mental health...but there's always next year, right? I also write a blog once in a blue moon, all sports/comedy based. Think old school Barstool days. 
Why did you choose your username?: 
I chose this name probably 10 years ago (soon after Sam got drafted, hence the 8 in my name) and then it got deleted so I remade my account in 15' and somehow completely forgot about this website. I used to be super active posting on here and it just kind of stopped out of nowhere. I wanted to make a new account but when I was able to get this back I just ran with it!
Name one really cool event in your life.:

Sports wise it is a toss up. When I was 17 I got to throw out a first pitch of a Phillies/Reds game (I'm a die hard Reds fan and live near Philly) and got to meet Ken Griffey Jr. for a few minutes. Other is last year when I went to the Rams/Steelers game and found out we were staying in the same hotel as the Rams. So the night before the game I got to hang out with some of the players and shoot the stuff with them. So that was a big one. Also got to tell Goff my true feelings of him...spoiler alert they are not great feelings.

Do you play sports? If you've hung up the cleats, inform us of your glory days when you used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter-mile.:
I was close to playing basketball my senior year of high school but hurt my knee in P.E. the day of tryouts so I never pursued it. I did do some brief high school coaching though. Didnt stick with it because my college schedule was so busy. I was a tight end and receivers coach.

Who is your dream girl? (those that are married, go ahead and say your wife! That way she doesn't beat you senseless when she browses through you history): 
I love me some Scarlett Johansson. Too bad Black Widow will be pushed back till November because of this pandemic but like she is amazing in every sense of the word.

I like chicken and watermelon. 
 

What other hobbies do you have?:

I love to watch wrestling. I love music and movies. I play video games. I have a classic nintendo/snes and a PS4. I cant wait till PS5 comes out. I love to play fantasy football. 

Why did you choose your username?: 

Well its fairly simple. I love St. Louis (stl4life) and 07 is just a random number although now it could mean all McVay wants to do is score 7 on each possession lol. No empty possessions or 3pts on a possession allowed. Only touchdowns allowed lol.

Name one really cool event in your life.:

Well the Rams became my team after I picked them to win the Superbowl in 1999 when everyone laughed at me. Perfect timing too because I followed the NBA more with MJ and the Bulls and they ended their dynasty right before the 1999 season when the Rams won the Superbowl. So I then turned my attention more to football, became a Rams fan and been heavily invested ever since. I so badly wish I was able to bet because I wouldve won a fortunate picking the Rams back then. Too bad I was only in middle school at that time lol.

Ohio State, Cavs and Indians - although I don't follow non NFL sports as often as I used to.

Frantik was just my user name for video games growing up - can't remember where I got it from tbh

Name one really cool event in your life.:
 

Too many to choose from. Birth of my daughter.

How I proposed to my wife is probably one of my biggest accomplishments - I coordinated a scavenger hunt around town at landmarks (first date, stuff like that) and each place had a clue to the next. I got her sister to drive her around, used another event as an excuse for her to buy a new dress. Had all our friends and family gather at the place I proposed too.

For me personally, I've technically been the star of two Las Vegas shows
