Detour to Destiny

For former University of Missouri football players Xzavie Jackson, Cornelius "Pig" Brown, and Darnell Terrell, things didn't go quite as they planed. All three were positive their futures led them to the NFL. All three were signed by various NFL teams. And all three were cut. Now, they still pursue their dreams playing in the Indoor Football League for the River City Rage in St. Charles, Mo. For them, this isn't the end of the road. It's just a detour on the road to their destiny.

Jason and I landed in California about 2:15 local time (that's like 4 for you midwesterners) We haven't done a whole lot other than get settled in. But we did some obligatory things right off.

Ahh, doesn't this just make you feel warm?


Because Lyndsey said I had to eat at In and Out while I was here. To be honest, I wasn't blown away, but it was cheap.


The house we're staying at is straight out of the 70's, including tripped out lighting with metal sphere cases. I couldn't resist.
