Dads, Sons and the Sports that Bind Them Together
Chuck Cook-USA TODAY Sports Today’s my dad’s birthday. 8/15. Weirdly enough, I started writing this at 8:15 this morning. He’s 55-years-old today. It’s easy to remember how old my dad is because he’s the same age as the Super Bowl.
A lot of the things I love are influenced by him. He got me into “King of the Hill”, “24” and “Seinfeld”. He got me the original Star Wars trilogy and we saw “Revenge of the Sith” for my 12th birthday. “The Force Awakens” hit theaters the same day I graduated from LSU. After watching me walk and receive my diploma we were seated side by side in the theatre watching “Force Awakens”, a movie that also focuses on fathers and sons but doesn’t end well.
