Ahh, Katzenmoyer!
I remember going nuts for that guy when the Pats drafted him when I was in grade school. I got his jersey as a Christmas gift from my Dad. Turned out, that was wasted money there.
In honesty, though, I’m glad to hear that he’s doing well with life after football.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!

I remember the hype
Expectations were high, but he was a fizzle for sure. Must be a bit bizarre for him to look back on it all now, from the ‘normal life’ viewpoint.
Keep the faith!

Yeah, it does seem strange.
Still, it’s not like he’s a broken ex-star athlete-turned-alcoholic crying in his Bushmills over what could’ve been. Sure, I wished it was different, but it’s great that he’s doing more with himself once he took the pads off for good.
And also, good to hear that Canty got wise, albeit a bit too late.
