Dr Seuss.....

We know the 4th Down Consultant is a talented guy: marathoner, Lions fan - general raconteur, if you will.  We also know he's a fine father to his 20 month old son (other than the fact he & his lovely bride refused to take our tailgate group's suggestion & name him "Calvin Hamilton ...."). But we had know idea the lengths to which he would go to raise his son "properly". From the 4th Down Consultant, in the vein of Green Eggs & Ham , eat your heart out, Dr. Seuss:

if Peeples' hands are a maybe,

Prepare all you want,

Jackets still bring the pain,

This one's in the can,

4 DC I am....
