Bob was a jock. He was extremely huge. He looked like Grizzly Adams in a bad mood on steroids. His whole life was football. All year round he practiced football. He ran two miles and lifted weights for two hours every day just to stay in shape. When he stood on the field, you could tell people were scared. When he collided with other players the sound traveled to the top of the stadium. It was the first day of school and Bob was ready for the football season to start.

After the game, everyone went home instead of the usual parties and celebrations. The next game Bob played, but he wasn't the Grizzly Adams on steroids like before. He wasn't hitting people hard, and he would fall before anyone was able to hit him. The next six games were this way and the Bombers lost every game.
