Personally, I'm excited because my friend's kid is on the team. My neighbor Bill's son, Billy Evans, will play wide receiver for The Fire. Billy Evans is a Danbury High School graduate (2018) and former member of the Hatters football team.
He's a good kid and a great young athlete, but his taste in music is tragically flawed. He also thinks he can beat me at basketball which is a problem for him, this will be a lesson he will learn the hard way.
Bill, it's not the "old man strength" that you should be concerned with, your real problem is that I don't miss. Bring help.
P.S. We are still living in a COVID-19 world, so if you plan on attending a game, wear a mask and stay six feet away from your fellow human.
P.S. Number 2 - The Fire is already a better name and uniform than all the options I've seen floated for the Washington football team.
