Question: Where can you go to get both shrimp and pancakes?
Question: What will Texas defensive back Michael Huff buy when he signs a multi-million dollar contract after being drafted into the NFL this Saturday?
Answer: IHOP
There's no question that Michael Huff's plan on how to spend his signing bonus is a little unusual. But a man wants what he wants.
Michael Huff accompanied his friend and Texas teammate, Rod Wright, on a recent shopping spree. They ended up at the most predictable place two future NFL draft picks could ' a Hummer dealership.
Huff, however, declined to buy anything. With Saturday's draft nearing, he has his sights set on something even bigger for his first purchase as a professional football player.
"I have to buy an IHOP," he said.
Some soon-to-be millionaires might dream of buying a house. Huff, a safety who was last season's Thorpe Award winner as college football's top defensive back, dreams of buying a breakfast chain.
"I might even change it," he said, "to International Huff of Pancakes."
It's a safe bet that Huff soon will have enough money to do pretty much whatever he wants.
. . . Huff, a 6-foot-1, 205-pounder with speed and the versatility to play anywhere in the secondary, has been projected as a possible top-10 pick. Some mock drafts even have projected him to go before Young.
This is my favorite line:
"They have shrimp and pancakes," Huff said. "I think most people don't know that."
Hi, I tried this on another post, but I think I was too late to catch the attention of everyone. Sorry, again, this is off subject, but I'm looking for help.
On one of your posts you mentioned that you'll be starting a College group in your church. How is that going? Can you describe what you do, how it works? We'd like to start one in our church and need a little direction. Thanks anyone.
