    No brainer,the hell with sports when you can become a long snapper.
    To think you are in demand and can make a 17 year career in the NFL as a long snapper where your risk of injury is almost zero compared to your fellow players.No extensive playbooks to have to study,you still get to say you are a pro football player where you get the chicks.etc.A kid should undertake being a long snapper at the age of 5 and never play in any sports.Even in high school you tell the coach that all you are there for is to long snap.No exerting yourself in practices etc.It's the closest thing to being a George Castanza hand model where you walk around wearing an oven mit to protect your hand.No spanking the monkey where your hand gets muscle tension either like the guy George Castanza had to fill for that got injured.Are there summer camps for kids that want to become long snappers?


    Anyone know who Mike Morris is?He played for the Vikings forever as a long snapper and now he has his own twin cities radio show for years and is as big a sports jock celebrity as any ex jock in the twin cities.

          long snappers don't get paid much as far as NFL players go, it's high stress, and there is an injury risk. After you snap the ball, you get some big guy slamming into you.

          I read Brian Kinchen's book The Long Snapper and gained a new respect for the position.
