I'm An Old Man

Packers' rookie linebacker, Clay Matthews, made some excellent plays against the Lions. But every time I hear his name called, I think I'm getting old.

I remember watching his dad (also Clay Matthews) play for the Cleveland Browns throughout the 80s. And now to be watching and cheering for his son is blowing my mind.

Similarly, do you remember Bobby Hebert? It doesn't seem that long ago to me that he was the talk of the Saints. Yet the other day I saw his son playing in some college game I was watching. How does Bobby Hebert have a son in college?

It's not like I remember Y.A. Tittle. I just didn't think so many years had passed so quickly that I would remember seeing the fathers while watching their sons.
