it ' s still a penalty if it hit a cowboys player then went out ? so if a player scooped up the ball and tossed it out of bounds it ' s still a penalty ? <| sep |> What do you exactly want to do first ? <| sep |> xwing first tho right <| sep |> I ' m no crybaby and I ' d never let my therapist , June , see me reduced to tears . Even when I recount the horror of being raised by a single mother in the Bronx , not a droplet falls from my dimpled cheeks despite the pressing memories of a childhood forgone for working as a chess hustler rising inside . I was no chess wizard by any stretch , yet even at the humble age of six or seven I could beat any walkon challenger in that park . My love of chess started aged four when Mother , as she was passing out from some concoction , stated rather insipidly the fact my faceless father was once a chess prodigy who ' d travel the world around to compete against stoic Russians and eccentric Brits . Perhaps in a way my chess playing served as a vicarious way of sharing a common experience with a person I ' d never met , as if any time a piece on the board moved I would be sending a message sublimely to my lost father . Of course I ' d never vocalize this thought as it would serve a valuable tell to my day ' s opponent , and also would make me seem like one of the crazy people who ' d live in the bushes of the park . One of the homeless person would often bring me assorted bits of wood and upholstery he ' d claim that could be made into a rudimentary chess board andor pieces . I ' d always explain to him I didn ' t need another chess board , I already had one and it was in perfect condition . But still the man , Ritchy as he was known by the streets , would insist on bringing me these trash pieces and shouting It would be an honor for the chess wunderkid to play with a board of my own devising ! He eventually ceased this ritual when he was claimed by the cold New York wind in February of ' 88 . In a way I think I often saw parts of my missing father in Ritchy ' s behavior . A man misunderstood by a boy .
