NFL players were in Washington, D.C. Monday night for the Bodden For Bowling event, which is a mentoring program for inner city kids. The players spoke about the event and the latest on the NFL lockout.
Any dreams of being an NFL player are instantly dashed when standing next to these men.
All right, I'll ask. What do you mean when you write "instantly dashed"? Does it imply respect or sarcasm?
Both, with a pinch of naivete.
