I don't hate Balboa, I pity the fool.

Pain. There is no better way to start the Thanksgiving day than by getting up early and playing Football. There is no better way to enjoy a feast then while feeling some pain. We had 18 T fans out for opening day. Playing for the red team we had Levon Helm, Tom C, Spin Doctor, Twinkle toes, Kevin, Tito, Tony, new T fan Mario Kart, and a late arrival the UF. Why was he late? More on that later. On the other team was Criminal, Tim D, London Collin, Tricky D, Billy B, Bob V,  Patrick (I only play on Thanksgiving) M, Gio & Tommy B. So we played red against "other". I think we need to get back to East vs. West. Anyway, other beat red 36-20. Highlights? Billy B was the Highlight. For a while I think red thought he was playing for them - safety. He had several long receptions and scored 2 TDs.

On Saturday we had 6v6, East vs West. Playing for the East was Levon, Dancing with the Stars (new alias for Mike C, aka Spin Doctor), Twinkle Toes, The UF, London Collin & new T fans Joe & Louis. For the West we had Tim D, Criminal, Gio, Billy B, Kevin & Tommy B. West beat East 40-25. The highlight was "Dancing with the Stars" pirouetting past several defenders then arabesquing 30 yards into the endzone.

Turkey Baster. So Criminal and Tricky D stopped by the UFs to bring him to the game Thanksgiving morning but he was busy. Basting a turkey. Seriously? Is that code for something, like, "Hey man, can't play football right now. Gotta baste my turkey. Hehehe." Don't get me wrong. I'm all about being domestic - don't want to mess with Mrs. T. But damn dude. Basting a turkey? Couldn't you make something up? Were you in charge of basting? The masterbaster? Of course this is the UF so no telling what else he was doing with that baster.

Fans. Mr. T's Football Club has them. But, we footballers usually don't see them. I hear that over at Waters the wives and girlfriends of the players were out in cheerleading outfits on Thanksgiving day! Mr. T football could do with some support like that. Ladies, I just want to tell you, I have been told, you are missing out. We are quite a studly bunch. In fact, some say we could be mistaken for another club. Well, at least that is what I hear from Mrs. T. Oh, and the Criminal. For some reason Criminal can also tell we're studly. Hmm.

This week we play on Saturday @ 9 AM @ Waters. Bring a red shirt. Remember, pain is weakness leaving your body.
