There’s hope yet for those of us who have reached their fifth decade. That hope is Mike Flynt, who at 59 is playing linebacker for Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas.
Flynt, who has to be in some kind of incredible shape, was kicked off his college team 37 years ago and after talking with a friend at a class reunion figured out that he still had a year of eligibility.
His 82-year-old mother got to see him play recently. She plays forward for a minor-league hockey team in Omaha. No, not really. Can’t you tell when I am kidding? What’s the matter with you? Anyhow?
