Show Mr. T a ship of fools, and he will show you a torpedo full of pity.

The season finale did not disappoint. We played 4v4 with one extra at QB. It was Kevin, Twinkle Toes, Sean P & Criminal versus Big Jim, Billy B, Rick & Tommy B. Levon played QB for both sides for most of the game. We lost 49-35. Highlights were the nice passing from Levon who threw for 8000 yards and 72 TDs! OK, that is an exaggeration, but he did throw at least 8 TD passes. Sean P also had an outstanding day scoring at least 4 TDs and stealing about 4 INTs. Sean's picks were the difference in the game. The snow was very hard and crunchy so, in the interest of self preservation, we opted to play touch. It was an exceptionally tiring experience especially for those of us that had a few too many at the T party the night before. That would be the Burke boys.

The party was a lot of fun and I think almost every player and many non-playing fans showed up. It was a very sophisticated experience as you would expect for a T party, complete with a snow sculpture! The sculpture was created by the master craftsman, T-Bone Carver. It became apparent after presenting the art to several footballers that the form was not distinguishable to the novice eye. So, I decided to make guessing the artistic expression into an intelligence test. Most failed. Passing, as I recall, were about seven players - the UF (amazing, I know), Kevin, Levon, Mike P, Roger, Gio and I cannot remember who else, because, as I stated above, I had a few too many. Here is a photo of the sculpture:

Obviously, the top half of Mr. T's head, which I call "Ice T". Wrong answers were a bug, a car, a train, an R-rated guess from George B and an X-rated answer from Rick that I cannot print. Poor Bindy! Congrats to those deemed intelligent. Of course it could mean you just think like me which, arguably, may not be a good thing.

It was an enjoyable season with lots of football - 15 games - and lots of participation - 47 different players. Kevin & Tommy B take the attendance record by only missing one game each. Maybe former rugby footballers are more durable? Attendance chart is posted. Some of you need to get your priorities straight. In case you were wondering (of course you were) we had 6 games in January & February where we played East vs West. The result was a tie, 3-3, but the East did outscore the West 158-126.

I have heard that many would like to continue playing since nobody can use the fields but us, the true athletes, footballers! So, I have a poll, if you want to play next Saturday, say so. Then check back Friday night and check the tally. The UF, Billy B & I will be snowboarding in Colorado so we are out. But if you really want to play, then play. You don't need me here to babysit, do you? Remember, despite popular belief, if there is a fool in the woods, and nobody is around to hear his jibba jabba, Mr. T is still able to pity him.
