So, as you know (or maybe not), I write about the NFL for a living.
As I watched the Sunday Night Football game between the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints, the players were introduced to the TV audience by a little video presentation along the bottom of the screen.
During the first or second series of plays, the defense and offense of each team get a moment to say their name and what college they went to. I’m not sure why but it’s nice advertising for the universities, most of which don’t really need it.
Sometimes players will say their high school sometimes and some will make stuff up.

Alpha Tween was up at the time and I thought it was amusing so I told both he and my wife about it. Nobody found it quite as funny as I did but when the video popped up on Twitter and YouTube I dragged him into the office anyway.
He watched and laughed then looked thoughtful for a moment.
Alpha: “What if it was real? What if he really did go to Hogwarts?”
Me: “That’d be awesome.”
Alpha: “I could get a scholarship.”
So that’s the agenda now. Hell if Harry Potter and Greg Hardy could get scholarships to the Big H, why not my boy?
He’d look good in Gryffindor scarlet.
UPDATE:
Because the Internet is Awesome, it’s already updated Hardy’s Wikipedia page:
