the problem with my memory

Football is a violent sport. An obvious statement I know, but when you smack your head against things for a long time you tend to forget the most common things. The most common trait of a football player besides an intense attatchmenet to the ins and outs of the game is the notion of the dumb jock. Although I somewhat fit the description, i know of plenty who break the rules of stereotype. Im hoping that this class will help me to grasp things thast are easily lost due to constant headbanging and storming into others like a steam powered locomotive.
