Folks,

Welcome home the prodigal. Please tell us all about it. Do not leave out even one gory detail.

Hmmmm. I admit I'm a bit perplexed by your mentioning NFL football at a time like this?? As everyone probably knows, Nunzio "Chicken" Cacciatore played the right guard position for the short lived Waco Warthogs.

That ill-fated football team was dropped from the roster of NFL expansion teams shortly after failing to score a single point in their first 250 games. Yes, after the blood was spattered and the red rhymed dust had settled on the tottering stretcher bearing their ninth string quarterback off the field, their 250 game scores all totaled up to exactly nil. Who says no team has ever been perfect?

Old CC was not built for the game in my opinion. From what I've read, most sports analysists agree that he was not an apt choice for that particularly physically demanding and difficult position. This was primarily due to the fact that never at anytime in his tragically abbreviated life did he weigh more than 150 pounds even soaking wet.

Yes his life was cut painfully short. At age 43 poor Nunzio "Chicken" Cacciatore never woke from the sound slumber induced by an unfortunate fourth and 45 encounter with one Seymour "The Grim Reaper" Meeker who for reasons best kept to himself was best known up to that point for playing too long without a helmet.

Do not worry, you will not likely see him ever again. At least not this side of that big sports stadium in the sky anyway. Odd that you of all people should mention good old "Chicken". Have you always been Canadian?
