When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Mr T.

We played Christmas Eve though attendance was a little light. It was Billy B, Tommy B, Tricky D, Kevin, the Sackinator  & Thomas M (Tricky D's son) vs Big Jim, Mike (Big Jim's nephew), Joe K (Big Jim's son), Criminal & Turk. I don't recall the score but I do recall two highlights. Both were father-to-son connections. Billy B threw a bomb to Matt B (the Sackinator) that Matt took to the house. And Big Jim completed a TD bomb to Joe that Joe caught looking back over his opposite shoulder - just like Lynn Swann.

On Sunday West beat East. Again. The score was 48-20. West had Tom C, Big Jim, Criminal, Bannon the Banker, Billy B, Tommy B, the Sackinator, and back out of retirement, Justin Favre. Cooley showed up late and replaced Criminal. East had Tim D, London Collin, Bob V, Kevin, Howie, Turk and a new T fan, Tim's brother, Nick D. Highlights? How about Big Jim's interception return for TD. Only Kevin gave chase because the rest of East knew he was just too fast!

I am on the distro list for pick up soccer. Every week the note goes out about whether they will play or not. Why wouldn't they play? Believe it or not they claim it's too cold. This is from the organizer, "It is not supposed to get over the freezing mark today and there will be no sun to help warm us and the field." Now don't get me wrong. I like to play soccer but there is definitely something prissy about football when it's not American football. By the way, the UF could not make it this week. But it was not because it was too cold. It was because he was hanging out with his Russian friends testing airbags.

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. I did. My daughter, Olivia, made me a special Mr. T football complete with Mr. T bling. Check it out:

It's a Dad's life. Ok, so some things might be better than playing football.

Anyway, this week we play back-to-back games on New Years Eve and New Years Day. The last day of 2010 and the first day of 2011 - Football! How cool is that? On Friday we will play at 9 AM. On Saturday we will play the hangover bowl at 10.

See you Friday 12/31 @ Waters @ 9 AM. Remember when Mr. T wasn't so way cool and awesome? Me neither.
