In football, if the quarterback is the lead singer, then the offensive line is the percussion: the unheralded yet resilient back beat that ties the show together.
Cheers to Dan Connolly of the New England Patriots for nearly returning a kickoff for a touchdown today. He warmed the hearts of all current and former offensive linemen, of which I proudly call myself one. As one reporter stated, it was the most beautiful, ugly moment you could hope to see…but oh how beautiful it was.
