When I moved to Alabama few decades ago, I was astounded to see High School football games being broadcast on local TV. High School?? If that happened in NYC when I was growing up, I was blisfully unaware (then again, as the 1970 photo shows, my sports abilities and interests are somewhat limited). Now comes word in the Birmingham News that there is competition among national networks to pick up games. And ESPN will air a September 25th Prattville/Don Bosco (N.J.) game from here in Alabama. What's next? Product endorsements by the 17 year old QB? I went to a Don Bosco (Salesian) High School. I hope those Yankees know what to expect when they arrrive in football insane Alabama!
