Mine is the cover to Edward Gorey's picture book, the "Ghaslycrumb Tinies"

I don;t remember what my avatar was before this one, but at the time (almost 15 years ago!!?? 🙉 )  my daughter brought this book to her kindergarten class.    We got a very polite hand written letter from the 21 year old teacher thanking us for sharing the book, and asking us to not allow our child to bring any more books to class.  ever.

Mine is obviously a Redskins player. But, I suspect, one that doesn't get recognized that much, now days. 
 

I've always had a kind of soft spot for the guy who isn't the star. But she shows up, fills a role, and, at least in my mind, makes the team better. 
 

Rock Cartwright was one of those short, fireplug, running backs. When we drafted him in the seventh round, nobody had heard of him. And he really only saw the field with the offense as a short yardage specialist under Spurrier. 
 

But going from memory, for his career, he was 5 for 5 on fourth and short. And 14 of 16 on third and two or less. 
 

And he ran back kicks. A lot of people dumped on him because he never once took one all the way. But we always started at the 35.

And I confess, I haven't followed the team as passionately, lately. I assume there are current players I could get a crush on. I just don't know them. 

I remember Cartwright.   I really, really liked him and he was a very solid returner. 

I also remember that he fumbled away the game at the goal line against the Panthers.

I remember because I was pissed and blamed him in no small part for for costing us the game and a fellow member, (former member?), you know who it is if you were around back then, tore me a new asshole about it. 

She was a friend of the Cartwright's family and he could do no wrong, in her eyes. 😂
