Anna Nicole Smith isn't the only famous person from my hometown of Mexia, Texas. The defensive coordinator for the Seahawks is Ray Rhodes, the best football player to come out of Mexia High School. He was an excellent defensive back even then, and he starred in the NFL. Now he's coaching (he was head coach in Philadelphia for a while). He's several years younger than I am, but I knew his father. When I was in high school, I worked at a freight line, and his father was the stock manager at the local J. C. Penney's store. I saw him nearly every day of the week in the summers when we delivered the freight to Penney's. So naturally I'm rooting for the Seahawks today.
