Most people have a bucket list, or at least have heard of a bucket list. They are things you’d like to do or accomplish before your time here on Earth is over. If you know me or have listened to my former podcasts, you know that I have a life bucket list and a sports bucket list. I made them separate because I’ve done so much in the sports world and been in it most of my life I couldn’t just make it part of a regular bucket list. I decided to share three of those items on my sports bucket list with you here. There are clearly more than three on my list, but I kept it to the major ones.
I’m going to start with the one I’d like to do first and currently the one I’d like to do most of all on the entire list. I want to sit in an NFL war room on day one of the NFL Draft for a team that has a pick between #3 overall to #6 overall. It would be ideal if they also had multiple first day picks. I’m fascinated by recruiting, drafting, and building a franchise. I think it would be the coolest thing ever to watch that process first hand on that day from start to finish. Somebody PLEASE help me make this happen!
The second thing on my list would be to play a round of golf at the home of golf where it all began. I want to play 18 at The Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland. As a golf fan, a sports fan, a lover of the start of things, who wouldn’t want to play a unique Links Golf course where it all began and feel the history of the sport flow through you.
Another thing I’d add to my Sports Bucket List is I’d love to go to Old Trafford and watch Manchester United play a big Premier League game. This wouldn’t have the gusto at the moment as it did when I added this to my bucket list as back then they were the standard brand in the league and the sport worldwide. I heard when they score a goal and win, the stadium erupts to the point where you can feel it in your bones. That crowd can make the Earth shake and I think it would be an amazing feeling to experience that live.
