On Friday afternoon, September 21, the New York State Football High School League was still in full swing, and the Toad Tun High School team took on another strong varsity team on a football field north of Brooklyn.

Because it is far away from the venue where the Toad Tun school team originally competed, and the distance is quite far, there are a lot fewer fans of the Toad Tun school team wearing blue and white, but the people who come with them are old fans and iron fans.

For example, there is a funny father and son in the audience, both of them are wearing blue and white T-shirts, and the big fat father is holding a large square plank, and a square cloth is nailed to the board, the upper part of the square cloth is printed with a running Texas longhorned cow, and the lower part is printed with a line of words:

"This is Eighty-Eight Bill!"

His teenage son was holding the same wooden plank, and the nailed square cloth with a pattern different from his father's, was a stick figure of a struck figure, the lower half of the square cloth read:

"This is Bill's opponent!"

Last weekend and Sunday, CBS, a small CBS-owned television station, aired a very short highlight of Bill crashing into an opponent, and now there are fans holding signs to joke about it, which shows how strong the action of football fans is.

The father and son sitting in the back row attracted the attention of many viewers, and in the forty seconds between each attack, many people in the front row turned their heads to look at the joke after being reminded by their companions.

This is a sight in the spectator seat, across the entire stadium, in the back row opposite the father and son, two other idlers also came all the way to watch the game.

Fat balding old white male scout and short and capable "big guy", Renne Marino.

The two did not have any jerseys, hats, small flags, etc., but each held a pair of binoculars in their hands and stared motionlessly at the offensive and defensive line in the center of the "baking tray".

Its attitude is so serious that the referees on the sidelines of the game will be ashamed of themselves.

It wasn't until the two-minute gap after the first quarter that the two men lowered their already sore arms, looked at each other and began to exchange ideas.

"I think his coach is right, this person was born for the rugby of the 78 restructuring." The fat scout gave his opinion first.

Then he slowly analyzed: "I found that Coach Murphy on Wednesday night, and on Thursday he took me to test a couple of 12th grade players, as well as this Bill you requested, and the blood was drawn. ”

"The results of the physical examination are very gratifying, this Bill has not used any medicine before, and his body is clean like a normal person."

"I heard that last Wednesday this Bill had a physical test, and he weighed 220 pounds at that time, and yesterday it was 224 pounds, which is 4 pounds in 15 days."

"Mr. Wren, do you know what that means?"

In the face of a rhetorical question, Wren just raised his chin and let the scout take the initiative to tell the riddle.

"That means he can gain 250 pounds with the help of a professional nutritionist on the college football team, and 280 to 300 pounds when he enters the league."

"And that's all predictions made without pills, and if the pills are used, tsk, he might set a record for the weight of the entire league."

Boss Wren frowned, "Is weight so important now?" ”

The fat scout nodded: "Yes, in a non-technical position, it's the size that decides everything." ”

"You give me a reasonable assessment, where is the lower limit of this person's football career, that is, how much money can he make in the NFL? Or what is the probability that he won't make it to the NFL? ”

This is the topic that the big guy Wren is most concerned about.

"Sir, since you have helped me, I should also really help you. To tell you the truth, if he were a 10th grader, I would have sent him an invitation in the middle of this season. ”

"The minimum achievement of this man in rugby, at least he is also a starter for the bottom team, he doesn't need to be more brilliant, at least he has the ball to play. If I had to give an evaluation, he was at least a core member of the bottom team, and the whole team's tactics revolved around his collision on the strong side. ”

"Or a starting team at the waist, plus a skilled quarterback and a running back, and you can hit the top teams and the Super Bowl."

The fat scout rubbed his fat hands and concluded: "Among the 1,500 people in the NFL, he is also above the average at the lowest, he is not a running back, he has no problem in eight to ten seasons in his career, take an average of nine years, and the average annual contract salary of 500,000 is 4.5 million US dollars." ”

"But in my opinion, he can at least touch the height of the top player, and it is possible to earn seven or eight million to ten million in his entire career."

"In a word, he's worth a lot!"

Wren's eyes widened slightly, and he asked softly, "Is there really so much money?" ”

The fat scout shrugged, "Really." I'll give you the example of Mr. Simpson, who has been playing for 10 years this season, and according to our industry professionals, who are the head coaches of my university, Simpson is between 18 million and 24 million. ”

This was the end of the seventies, the NFL had not yet been hit by the 93 "salary cap" reform, and the gap between star players and ordinary players had not widened to twenty times that of the first and twentieth century.

While the two were talking, the battle in the second quarter was already white-hot, and the big man raised the binoculars again to search for the target.

The situation on the field was slightly unfavorable to the Toad Tun varsity team, the opponent won the ball, and the offensive tactics were complex and diverse.

The only bright spot is that Beal, who plays as a defensive left tackle, has a strong ability to break through, and can quickly overturn the player in front of him almost after the enemy center serves, and then rush into the "pocket" to protect the quarterback in the gap between the enemy center and the right guard, or go straight to the quarterback, or interrupt the rhythm of the opponent's pass.

Even those who don't watch the game much can feel Beal's strength in breaking through the five-man "pocket".

The fat scout also held up the binoculars and then began to narrate live in real time: "This is dominance. His coach is very cunning, and often the opponent player who attacks the left tackle is the strongest player in the defensive group, that is, the defensive right tackle, but this coach puts Beal in the position of defending the left tackle, using a strong man against the weaker player to achieve the purpose of quickly threatening the quarterback. ”

During the time they watched, Bill did behave like the Texas Longhorn running wild on the sign opposite.

Boss Wren made a decision in his heart, "I know what to do." That's all for today, you've done me a favor, and you can come to Brooklyn to find me later. ”

He used his right index finger and thumb to twist a piece of flesh on the fat scout's cheek, expressing his intimacy.

"Mr. Wren, I'm glad I can help!"
