We played 7v7. West beat East 44 - 24. Although players switched sides throughout the day, West was comprised primarily of Tim D, Rick, Big Jim, Billy B, Tricky D, London Collin & Tommy B. The East was mostly Levon, Tom C, Bob V, the UF, Criminal, Gio & Tony. At the risk of seeming narcissistic, the highlight of the day was an 80 yard kickoff return for TD by yours truly, Tommy B. West was losing 18 - 6 before the kickoff and this play shifted momentum to the West.
We have quite a few new players this year and some of the players from years past seemed to have dropped out. So, I am wondering what has happened to Bob the Builder, Chico and the Man, Brigg T and Patrick M, to name a few? You boys hurt? Did you put on a few pounds so now you are worried about a wardrobe malfunction? Umm.... at least she is, uh, fit.
So, did anybody watch the NFC Championship game? Rhetorical question. Could Favre and co. have done anymore to hand the Saints the game? Every week we play I think it seems like we make a lot of mistakes and it must be because we just play for fun. Then you watch the Vikings turn the ball over 5 times in one game and realize that even the pros make mistakes. They just make pro-size mistakes. This game aint easy. If it was easy it probably wouldn't be any fun.
Speaking of easy, I have heard some grumblings about the possibility of playing tackle instead of touch. Of course, if we played tackle it would be rugby style: no pads and no function buttons. The UF will get distracted if you have function buttons. Touch is fun but I, for one, do not like to be called down when I am barely touched. "I got you with end of this finger and this finger. Drives me crazy." Nobody is bringing me down with a few fingers and I am sure that many of you feel the same way. On the other hand, tackling Big Jim, London Collin or Twinkle Toes after they have a full head of steam will probably hurt. So, there is definitely a trade-off. I created a poll to see where our collective interests lie. The poll is anonymous so nobody can call you a prissy (if you even care).
Did you know that Mr. T invented the Manwich? Next game is 1/30 @ 9 AM @ Waters. You can assume for now that we are playing touch. So no jibba jabba.

P.S. Like Softball? If so contact London Collin. We play Tuesday nights at Southside park (the tough side of town) starting in April. Collin is a great team organizer - much better than Tommy B - because he does not lie and he supplies free beer for every game! How cool is that?

Tommy B.,
Thanks for the notice about my absence. During the first game (although I think that I had 6 sacks) I injured my foot. The Doctor told me I had a slight fracture. At 47 years old, I decided that if you can fracture your foot just running 5 yards, it may be time to hang it up. I wish that I could pull a Farve an un-retire. Since then, I've become fat and lazy. I miss you guys.
Sincerely, Brig T.
Dude, we have not seen that six sack performance since you left us on Thanksgiving day. (The UF has provided several six pack performances, however.) The QBs are running wild. Levon completed several 4th & really long (like 30 yards) last week. He had like 10 seconds to throw the ball. Nobody can cover Tom C for 10 seconds. We need pressure! Come back out! (No pressure.)
Besides, if you quit where will we have our Mr. T party?
Levon's knee is shredded, but he'll be back out to throw for 500+ yards again next week. EAST IS BEAST! -Billy (Leven Helm) E.
