He'll be a Bruin by March. 😁

 

Seriously, all football players should add skating to their training regimen. You'd see far fewer ankle injuries.

I gotta say, I respect a professional athlete who will voluntarily show themselves looking physically awkward.

If that's Day 1 for Tom, he'll be fine.

I still don't know how to skate and I was born and raised in Buffalo.

 

Was teased mercilessly growing up because of it too...while all my friends were skating around playing hockey on random ponds, I was out there in my sneakers or boots and being spun around like a top 😂😂

Nice pants, spaz.

I bet he wore spandex when he learned to ride a bike.

Props to whoever made him use a toddler sized skate trainer.

I skated as a kid through teen years. I could do stops and skate backwards, but was never great. I had siblings who were competitive skaters and hockey players. I had issues with feet cramping up. But I could skate just ok.
So, after many years not lacing up, I rented some Ill-fitting skates at NYC Central Park Wollman Rink during a Christmas visit in 2009.  
Age, weight, and absence of any muscle memory took their toll. I couldn’t have looked more stiff and awkward. Think Adrian in Rocky I.  Standing on those blades seemed like the most unnatural thing a human could attempt. 
It was captured on video tape for all to enjoy when I’m long gone. 
Life lesson: leave the glory days where they belong-in the past.

We don't want to wait that long; you should post it now. :D

That cart he has is what I use to take a pee break during halftime of Bills games. 

 

I can relate, it was awkward at first, but now I'm like a pro. 😀🍻

I think he’s waiting until there aren’t any video tape players anymore…

But Ricky Balboa said skating was bad for the ankles

Tom most likely spent his whole life obsessing about football which made him become so great. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a lot of things he can’t do that normal people can.

Lots of experience skating around the rules

Tom is growing on me.  
 

still hate the pats tho. 

By most accounts he is a very good guy. But certainly not hard to hate the football player.
