I have known Todd since the third grade. He is sort of like a third brother. We lived in the same neighborhood in Charlotte and went to the same schools. Growing up we used to play football in the backyard with all the neighborhood kids. Todd was easily the fastest guy on the field, and made great sport with his novelty tackling techniques. The most famous “Todd Tackle” was the Flying Burrito. I won’t even try to describe this hilarious acrobatic feat, other than to say that (1) it was more like a flying taco, and (2) The taunting that preceded and followed such a tackle was far worse than the injury.
