The first time Xandra visited the ocean when she was old enough to remember was with her family on a family vacation was a moment that she often references as changing her perspective on life. They were at a beach in Maine, camping at Acadia National Park, and they had arrived late in the afternoon when the weather was foggy. Despite Xandra’s excitement and insistence, her father stalled and advised that it would be more memorable if they arose at dawn to go see the sunrise over the ocean. Acadia, afterall, is the eastern-most point in the United States. So, not only would she get to see the endless horizon for the first time, but she’d also get to see it before pretty much anyone else in the USA. She was still alternating between bouncing and sulking the rest of the evening, as children are prone to do, but eventually drifted off. When her father roused her and drove the family the short way to the coast, the sky was just starting to brighten and Xandra’s eyes kept growing wider and wider as the view materialized and the fog burned off. She felt so small and impressed by what she saw, that she was silent on their way back, until requesting fresh blueberries in their campfire pancakes. Since then, she has always strived to live within a few hours of the ocean (or a reasonably large body of water) to find those quiet, impressive moments.

Given that Spector is only several weeks old, and a clone, there's only a short list of influential moments to choose from. I guess the entire week where he went from infant to adult was something of a unique experience. He doesn't have a "childhood" so to speak since by the time he was able to grasp the English language and have full control of emotions, he was a pubescent being. And by the time his coordination caught up with his size, he was, physically, an adult.
One strange experience he can recall was his first steps. Dr. Milstein was rolling a ball for him to crawl to and pick up. Marc clearly remembers bracing his weight against the ball and standing up on his hind legs. He felt so strong. He began bobbing up and down testing his knees out. Before he knew it, he was putting his foot out and taking a step. His foot landed and as he put his weight on the newly planted foot, his weight shifted and he toppled over. It was scary. He thought he was going to take a walk like all the doctors did, but he failed. But he was determined to do it, so he crawled up onto the ball again, and put his foot out once more. And again he got the weight under his leg right and took that step. Still holding the ball as a brace, he completed his first step. The doctors were amazed at his ability to try it again without crying or even looking disappointed. Within a matter of hours, young Clone was taking steps and toddling all over the laboratory. They had to quickly install safety gear so he wouldn't bump his head on any of the corners, and lock the cabinets so he wouldn't pry them open. He was quite a fast, and curious learner.

I like to consider myself a pretty well-rounded person. I have a life outside of football that I consider pretty full. I have friends and family who love me, and I get to spend my off days living a life that creates some good in the universe. Times are tough right now for a lot of people, so doing any small thing that can help to brighten a person’s day can be pretty meaningful. All that being said, my favorite memory is one that’s not football related. Don’t get me wrong: my football memories are pretty great as well. But this one has stood out to me in its simplicity and humanity.
I was driving in Baltimore, in town for a game. (I guess it is a little football related, haha.) Those of you who have driven around different parts of Baltimore know that certain areas see a fair number of homeless people begging along the side of the road. In this particular case, I saw a gentleman who fit that description. Unfortunately, I don’t usually carry cash. I stopped my car, rolled down my window, and told him I didn’t have anything to give him, but I hoped he was doing well and having all the luck he deserved. He responded by telling me, “Don’t say you don’t have anything to give. You have the ability to stop and talk to me like a human being. That’s something to give right there.” Ultimately, I gave the guy a ride to go get some food while we chatted. It was a good day for me, and I hope it was a good one for him as well. It’s moments like this that remind me how awesome people can be, and how we can all make the world a little better with just the smallest amount of kindness.

Lo Rax has a pretty recent favorite memory. Sure, Lo had a standout career at the Riverside Institute of Tech, and continued that at the SUNY University at Buffalo... but frankly, those two programs don't even come close to rivaling the larger known football programs in the south, like Lake Travis HS or the Crimson Tide. As such, Rax entered the DSFL draft as a relative unknown, slipping into the 3rd round before being drafted. Rax played out his DSFL season, putting up nice numbers, but he wasn't near the top of any leader boards defensively, or even at his position.
Going in the NSFL draft, Rax had realistic expectations: He'd likely go somewhere toward the back half of the second round, to a team who was rebuilding. None of that was a problem for Rax, he was used to being overlooked by teams for players who had flashier numbers, or came from better programs. He was willing to help out a team who might be a few years from making a real push. So, on draft night, Rax wasn't really paying a whole lot of attention in round one, as names were coming off the board.
That is, until the New Orleans Second Line pick flashed across the bottom of the screen... Defensive End: Lo Rax. The young DL didn't believe what he was seeing- was that his name? What? Then, the phone rang. It was the NOLA head office. They'd loved the progression they'd seen out of him over his year in the DSFL, and they needed help on their DL immediately. Rax had gone in the first round, and he'd be stepping in day 1 as a starter for the reigning champion Second Line. It was an unbelievable turn of events, and one of the greatest nights of Rax's career- if not the best. It's something he won't forget every day when he hits the gym, heads to practice, or, when contract negotiations roll around.

One of the most memorable moments of Alexandre LeClair’s life occurred at the end of high school. One of his best friends, who was also on the fast track to a football scholarship in the US was arrested for underaged drunken driving. The legal age being 18 in Quebec and both of them being 17 at the time goes a great way to destroy someone’s life. Long story short, his friend crashed the car and broke his left leg, was taken to hospital where the leg was messed up so much they had to amputate it. After the healing, he spent the next year in a correctional facility. Fortunately in all this ordeal, no one but him was injured.
All this was major shock for LeClair who was then team captain and quarterback for his high school team. Along with all the talks from councillors and coaches about the dangers of alcohol and breaking the law, the sight of seeing one of his best friends with a leg missing was more than enough to deter him from doing anything stupid. It was at this point, when college scouts were courting him that he decided to focus only on making it to the big leagues. Only after his career would be over would he “let loose”.

The day that Zach Skinner discovered his first dog was one that ensured he'd have a friend no matter what the situation was. When the now professional defensive lineman was but six years old, he was hanging around in the back yard of his house when a small, pointy-eared little critter decided to approach him. Unsure of what it was, but finding it absolutely adorable, he cautiously stepped forward, only for his new found pal to skitter away in surprise. For the better part of the next hour, the two of them played that game of cat and mouse until the pup finally decided to take a chance and approach, at which point Skinner brought her to his mother and asked, immediately, if he could keep it.
Of course, he hadn't noticed the flees crawling all over the poor thing, and his mother frantically shooed him out of the house and urged him to put the stray down as to prevent the flees getting onto him, as well. But, in the end, despite having to keep her on a leash for a month just to ensure that no pests spread through the house, Skinner had his first dog, whom he named Daphne.

I think the most memorable event that has happened in Josh Parkers life was when he entered the DSFL draft and got to meet some of his idols from the NSFL. Coming from Edmonton, AB he didn’t think he would ever get the experience to even be scouted to the DSFL. However the one day that sticks out to him most is the day he was drafted in the DSFL. It was a very stressful but rewarding time in his life. He was drafted to the Portland Pythons 19th overall and that was one of his top selections and teams that he wanted to be drafted to. He had his whole family with him and when he heard his name called it was one of his proudest moments. It’s something that will last with him forever and something he will never forget. So far in his career he has been doing pretty decent and is so thankful for anyone who made this dream a reality. Hopefully he will do well enough to be drafted to the NSFL next season and go to one of his top destination teams. Parker has had a lot of memorable moments but this one sticks out the most.

One of the biggest moments that happened in Portland Pythons running back Antonio Summer's life was in his senior year at high school where he helped lead the Melfort Wings to the provincial championship series where he played against the Holy Cross Crusaders. In the final game of his high school career, Summer found his footing and took the Wings out to an early lead with a touchdown in the first five minutes after amassing fourty-four yards and taking home fifteen on the opening drive. Heading into the final quarter - after a quarrel with defensive rival Ryan Cobalt who now plays for the San Antonio Marshals of the NFC - Summer's Wings were down by six with only minutes left, giving Summer the opportunity to take the future into his own hands. As if in a miracle, the Wings were set up at their own five yard line when Summer took a snap and shed a tackle to move into the backfield. With Cobalt eyeing him down, Summer moved and twisted, dodging past him and dragging him back before Cobalt let go as Summer would tow his way down the field for a massive ninety five yard touchdown to pull the Wings into a tie, although they would ultimately lose the game in overtime.
