THE GRIM REAPER

THE WORLD OF PROFESSIONAL ATHLETICS HAS CREATED A NUMBER OF
IMAGINARY CREATURES. ONE IS WELL KNOWN TO THE MANY ROOKIES
WHO HAVE FAILED TO MAKE THE GRADE. GEORGE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE THE
CLEVELAND BROWNS FOOTBALL TEAM THIS PAST SUMMER. HE FAILED.
HE MENTIONED THAT THE GRIM REAPER WAS ALWAYS PRESENT. WHEN YOU
WERE CALLED TO THE COACH:S OFFICE, 'THE REAPER' HAD STRUCK AND
HIS PRESENCE WAS FELT. THIS CREATURE SEEMS TO BE RATHER UNIVERSAL
IN CONJUNCTION WITH AMERICAN FOOTBALL.

Submitter comment: GEORGE TOLD ME THIS AFTER RETURNING TO DETROIT.
