I'm talented and flexible. I could play Hamlet, even though I look like King Kong.

Another epic battle on the grid-iron today. Well, it was epic if you were playing for West! If you were playing for East, I am certain you got some good exercise. West beat East 55-29. For the West we had three Burke Boys - Billy B, Tommy B and Matt "the sackinator" B, Rick L, Tim D, Gio, Tony and Big Jim. For the East it was Levon, Criminal, Turkish, the UF, Dancing with Stars, Sean P, Mike P, Twinkle Toes and new T fan, Howie. Highlights of the game were a 50 yard kick-off return by Turkish (that's Criminal's son, Bard Jr. who so far has not earned the nickname Juvie D. He is on the straight path. Which isn't easy when your dad is nicknamed Criminal, oh, and also gay.) Matt "the sackinator" B had not one, but two sacks today. I should mention that Bard Jr and Matt B are in 4th grade. The other highlight that I recall was Rick L's 65 yard interception return for TD. Levon, Criminal and the UF all pursued, but, Tommy B got in their way and managed to block all three in a foot race allowing Rick L to run untouched into the endzone. Teamwork baby!

Three weeks of football so far. And it's time for my annual call-out. If you have played with any frequency in the past and I have not seen you this year, shame. The list of those that spend their time doing things that are not as important as football ('cause what is?) is as follows:

Jeff, Cooley,  Bannon the Banker, Chico, Justin, O'Kelly, Rod, John H & Brig.

What's up guys? You got some other way to workout? (WTF? That is probably the weirdest thing I have ever seen. Very disturbing. Who thinks of this crap?) Anyway, not playing football will not make you stronger nor will it make you faster. You will just get old, fat and delusional like this guy. Also very disturbing.

This week we play Saturday 12/18 @ 9 AM on Waters concrete. Better than the metrodome, I guess. The prediction? It's always the same: Pain!
