It's true. My dad was a great football player and coach, and he got me, not a son. Of course, he always said (when asked if he was disappointed about only having a daughter), "I had a thousand sons over the years, but I only had one daughter." I still think, had I been a guy, that I would've been a spectacular football player. I'm thinking DE or DT--because I've always wanted to go out and hit somebody hard when I'm watching football.
