My nephew, Alex Carroll, attends Georgetown University in Washington DC. Georgetown recruited him to play football after three stellar years playing running back for Highland Park.

But please, I beg you, do NOT tell my children. They might decide to emulate their much-admired cousin, and I’ve got enough to handle without some paralysis on the side.
