I don’t know if I believe it, but here’s an amusing story told by the Green Bay Packers’ Darren Sharper in the latest issue of Sports Illustrated:

“I was in Little League football, eight or nine years old, and somebody stole all the footballs before our Thanksgiving game. Some crackhead probably. We had to play with a frozen turkey. You couldn’t throw it. All you could do was run the ball. It was option all day long.”
