Mr. T: one part gold, two parts muscle, three parts anger, and no parts jibba jabba.

Another big turn-out this week - we played 8v8. Kevin, Bannon the banker, Billy E, Mike C, Gio, Tito, Zach Cooley, Jeff, Bob V, Rod, Ryan, Murdock, Big Jim, Tim, John and Tommy B all made it out for the sub-30 degree start. The cold weather creates frozen turf which increases the pain! Decided by extra points, again, 26 - 25. Kickers we are not.

We saw some pretty fancy moves this week. Mike C was giving us USAF academy football demonstrations with his spin moves. Fortunately he's not demonstrating stiff-arms....yet. And Murdock was showing off his elite Marine Corp maneuvers doing the "drop and roll" for extra yardage and his patented "skip" move (not real sure the Corp would approve of the skip move, but I hear it does "impreez" the girls. So I hear.) The highlight of the week has to go to Tito who received a nice pass across the middle from Gio then ran past everybody for about a 70 yard TD. Note to self: Do not let Tito get any running room!

I think everyone can agree on the Mr. T fans' ideals for a good football game:

  1. If it's a close call, give it to the offense - we like lots of scoring. 
  2. Don't try to kill anybody. (We all like each other, right?) But if collisions happen, they happen.
  3. And if you commit a foul and you know it, call it on yourself. 
I had DPI against Rod this week - I tagged prematurely. It was wrong but I just.... couldn't.... stop. Is anything good when it's premature? Bad, I know. Mr. T - searching the internet so you don't have to!

We still have yet to see the UF or speed-walking Rick L out on the turf this year. (If Rick does not show up soon, he will just become known as Speedwalker, sort of like Luke, only with shiny shorts instead of a shiny sabre.)  The UF? I think he had to stay home and clean the bathroom. Use the loofah. Hehehehe.

Last week, Mini T (Emily) was reading this blog (Don't worry - she's not allowed to click the links unless I clear them first.) She asked me "what does Mr. P mean?" Uh. So I said "uh, you know guys sometimes will kid around and call each other names? So, P stands for another word that means sissy." So she thinks about it for a second and then says "Prissy?" "Yes," I sigh. "That's it. Prissy." God I love her!

Next game is on 12/19 at 9 AM at Waters. Show up and meet my friend, PAIN. Don't be a Prissy!

The look on the dude's face in the video is the same look that Tommy had when he caught the ball two weeks ago.
But I think I don't want to really know any details

Yes. But it was AFTER I caught the ball and AFTER I danced in the end zone. Guess I got too excited!

No mention of my 300+ yards passing 3 TD's and a 95 yard drive? The "non-red team" was lucky I had to leave early or it would have been a even worse beatdown.

'an even worse'.. damned keyboard!

Two weeks of getting called out for poor attendance is enough - I'll be there tomorrow Tommy Boy. I'll probably be up pretty late with Bindy tonight but I should be able to struggle to the field. I told her I was in the mood for some gnarly head tonight so I picked up a bottle on my way home. If you haven't had some gnarly head from your wife recently I'd strongly suggest it on a Friday night (and don't let her tell you that she gave it up when you got married).

Face guarding... If there is ANY contact at all between the DB and the WR, face guarding is a pass interference penalty.
