Meet The players

Hello Snively clan…….You don’t know me but I know you.  I’ve watched hours of Snively reunions on VHS.  I’ve seen everything from a possibly drunken rendition of a re-written “12 Days of Christmas” to a nice little old lady playing a guitar, singing the blues and shakin’ her butt.  And then there was the poor little lamb…..run, run away little lamb! BAaaaaa!

So what the f*** am I doing here on this football thing?????? OMG I have no idea either!! I was just following Sam’s exuberant, emphatic instructions…He tried to explain it patiently, bless his heart.  I’ve already forgotten whether the + means they’re favored to win or lose.  And the $20? Ahem…um…..I thought I was already covered.  The check’s in the mail. Or so I’m told by my sponsor.  Please don’t break my legs.

Sincerely (NOT),

Marcy

That’s right Sam.  I am a redneck girl at heart.  You can take the redneck out of the country but you can’t take the country out of the redneck.  My Dad’s family came from northwestern New Mexico.  When my Grandpa was a young man he herded cattle back and forth from Aztec to the mountains in Durango CO.  The Rhodes clan had a standing feud over land and property (cattle) with another local clan and if you went out on your horse you didn’t go alone because you might get shot at.  As a young girl my Grandma traveled across NM in a covered wagon.  A few of my great uncles gave their lives to the silver mines (dynamite mishaps).  Others worked the railroad. 

Yep, I come from some tough stock.  When my Grandpa was 12 he survived a burst appendix and that was before antibiotics.  They took his picture ‘cause the docs said he wasn’t going to make it through another night.

Does that story remind you of another scrappy fella?  Sam you are one tough bugger.  Stone can thank you for providing some choice DNA from the gene pool.  I’ll miss you during your unfortunate incarceration but this is just one more knot on the string of life’s hard knocks that have made you who you are.  Stay cool. Catch you on the flip side.
