I don't remember much about Thanksgiving 1993.

That day I was on the football field in New Jersey as a high school senior. At some point early in the game I was thrown a pass over the middle and I had to go up for it. A linebacker laid me out.

I am going to make a point here and say I actually caught the ball. And the same ego that pushes me to tell you this fact instantly made me spring up from the turf nearly 20 years ago—as if to give a signal to the truck that had hit me: You didn't hurt me! Better luck next time!
