Kevin Finnerty (born October 9, 1958) is an American football wide receiver for the Norfolk Seawolves of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL).
Early years
Kevin Finnerty has spent much of his life incredibly confused. He has lived a double life, you see, flying between Arizona and New Jersey while in a fugue state to accomodate this double life. I am sure the reader can imagine how jarring it might be to regain consciousness and be across the country, scarfing down gabagool or beating poor Georgie over the head with an ice bucket. This, unfortunately, was life for poor Kevin Finnerty for a long time. He did not stop believing, however. After a long life as both waste disposal consultant and HVAC salesman depending on which state he was in and which life he was living, both of Finnerty's personalities decided to retire from those jobs and join forces to become a professional athlete. Not knowing which sport he would become the best in the world at, he first had to try a couple. Finnerty nearly landed on Badminton but ultimately could not say shuttlecock without laughing so settled on football.
College career
Though it was clear to Kevin Finnerty from a young age that he in fact did not have the makings of a varsity athlete, and old age had not done much to change this, Finnerty managed to start (and therefore make) a intramural football team while at Seton Hall. They became so good the NCAA had no choice but to admit the school's newfound football team to the Atlantic Coastal Conference (hey if it can happen to Stanford and Cal it can happen to Seton Hall), where Finnerty quickly became a household name. Finnerty's special talent on the field was his versatility - he was a two way player who excelled no matter where he played, from harassing quarterbacks on the defensive line to throwing blocks and catching touchdowns as a tight end. Ultimately, Finnerty drifted toward the tight end and receiver positions because of his large ego - scoring touchdowns is after all great for that. Finnerty finished his senior year as the greatest (and only) tight end in Seton Hall's storied football history.

After spending the end of season 47 with the Minnesota Grey Ducks, Kevin Finnerty was drafted in the sixth round by the Norfolk Seawolves. Kevin's career got off to a respectable start in his first DSFL season, proving to be one of the anchors of Norfolk's offensive line - Kevin had the third most pancakes on the team while allowing only two sacks all season. His usefulness to the team did not end on the offensive line however, as Kevin managed to be a contributor to the team through the air as well. Finnerty racked up 49 catches throughout the season, beginning to establish a connection with Seawolves quarterback Elijah Dyson. This relationship will prove to be important in the future as both Dyson and Finnerty hope to be an important part of the ISFL's New York Silverbacks offense for many seasons to come. Finnerty unfortunately has not yet scored a touchdown in his career, but is sure he will break that barrier in the upcoming season as he does less blocking and more receiving (like any good diva)
