I'm a football fan. I didn't really play as a kid, but I like throwing the football around. My friends all watch football, and my family is obsessed. I'm from Boston, so my team is the Patriots (Tom Brady is the GOAT). When I read this haiku, I immediately had an image come to mind. I knew I needed a large shape and small elements, so this could be read from a distance. The boy is wearing “44” in honor of all the greats who have worn that number: Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, and Brian Scalabrine.
