Practice Squad

The unsung heroes of the practice squad!

The better they are,

The better your team will be!

Nameless, faceless wildmen 

Who square up for fun on the frienemy:

The starters!

They run divine routes,

Inspired by some hidden energy matrix.

They gather strength from an unknown source, 

Motivated by something intangible 

And incorruptible.

They can’t be bought.

They can’t be sold.

But they can take you places,

Or they can take yours.

It’s rare, but brother, when they do,

When they rise up through the ranks of the five star blue bloods,

They become the very ones

Who get statues of themselves placed

 In front of the stadiums!

The eternal spirit of the underdawg!

They are gold

In a silver standard.

They deserve our notice and respect.

My hat is off to you today,

You great, unsung heroes of the venerate and venerable practice squad!
