Taking the Snap

My neck twitched, free of the old rigidity, and my head actually wobbled on its own spring. I felt the grip under my arm tighten as my fingers pressed into the tiny pebbled surface of the brown ball. Scanning the pocket, I leaned forward and tapped my right knuckles against the dark cardboard wall right beside me. A solid, muted knock answered back. Real weight, real traction under my cleats—the huddle is broken, and game time just started #Steveyoung #49ers #SanFrancisco49ers #NFL #football
