Pop quiz, hotshot. What's the quickest way to make the football news at the Division III college level? Answer: make the team as a 59-year-old man who's almost ready to collect Social Security. That's the deal with ageless wonder Mike Flynt, who made the squad for the Sul Ross State Lobos in Alpine, Texas. It's inspiring, all right. This joe gave the NCAA a shot of AARP.

Since Flynt is in, let me drop a little reminder. It's never too late to start. I don't care if you're 19 or 59, jack. After you've deep-sixed your consumer debt and have some dough in place, get started on funding your retirement. The more you put in there, the better your retirement income will be.

Do it well enough, and you can spend your golden years griping about your favorite football team ... instead of playing for them. But, to each his own, baby.
