Before Mr. T, there was no letter between S and U.

First, for all you ADHD MoFos that can't read more than two sentences, we will play at Marshall on Saturday. Still with me? Mr. T Party will be at my house on Friday, February 18th. See box to the right and answer the poll. >>>

Oh man was it cold! But was it too cold to play? Rhetorical question. West 27 East 20 Temperature 16

East had Gio, Tito, Tony J, Tom C, Big Jim, the UF, Kevin and  Dances with Stars West had Tim D, Rick the Pick, Howie, Big Dan, Murdock, Patrick M. Billy B, Tommy B and new T fan, Tim K. West lost two to injury and Big Jim switched sides to keep the numbers even.  Sackinator played defense for both teams.

East started strong outscoring West 20 - 0. Gio was on - picking apart West's soft zone defense spreading the ball to multiple receivers. On the first drive alone I recall completions to Kevin, the UF, Tom C, Big Jim and Tito. After East's 3rd TD, we were walking back down the field (losers walk) to receive the kick-off. We talked it out, decided we needed to dig deep. "This can't happen to us!" we said. "We got to bring it!" The ensuing kick-off Patrick M returned to the 50 with some nice blocking by Billy B. That's when things started to turn around! Play of the game was on this drive - a 30 yard pass from Tim D rolling hard to his right passing into double-coverage and pulled down by Murdock for the score. West was on the board! No looking back. Tim D hit Tommy B twice in the endzone and then hit Murdock again for another. West woke up and came back with a vengeance scoring 27 unanswered.

We had a lot of players get injured in this game. I suspect the cold weather may have had something to do with that. We had injuries to a knee, lower back, shoulder, foot, hamstring, and somehow, the UF hurt his butt. Not sure how that happened. Preexisting condition? The criminal has been missing the last two weeks. He went down to Louisiana and got caught breakin the law, again. Listen to his disguise accent, "Maybe I'll come down. Maybe I won't." Mrs. C tells me he'll be out on bail for Saturday's game.

On a more positive note, I think this kid may be a future Mr. T fan. I showed this to JoJo and she says, "Why because he's tough?" then under her breath, "or stupid. hehehe..." Huh?

We will stay at Marshall HS again this week. That turf is a little more forgiving. Game is on 1/29 @ 9 AM @ Marshall HS.  So Mr. T walks into a bar... the bar bends.

If at first you don't succeed, you aint Mr. T.

West 40 East 35.  West had Tim D, Rick the Pick, London Collin, Bannon the Banker, Kevin, Patrick M, Big Dan, Billy B & Tommy B. East had Big Jim, Sean P, Roger M, Gio, Tito, Tom C, Twinkle Toes & Howie. It was the day of the big play. NFL scouts should be down at Waters checking out the local talent.

These are the plays I can remember though I am sure there were many more: Tito pulled in two nice grabs on one drive - one a ricochet off of defenders the second for the TD, a jump ball pulled down between multiple defenders. Bannon grabbed a deflected pass off his back shoulder. Roger, Sean & Tom C all had nice long run-after-catch for TDs. Big Jim pulled a high ball down in traffic on a 4th and 20. Play of the day goes to... Billy B! With a long ball catch over the back shoulder, one handed, sun in the eyes, pants fallin down, nose runnin, shoes untied and Tricky D's dog chewing on his leg. Ok so only the first three things are true but it was still a really nice catch.

This week we celebrate Martin Luther King's legacy so I found this commercial to commemorate the occasion. I am not sure what makes me happier - living in such a harmonious, racially integrated society or, not living in High Point, North Carolina.

So here's a tangent. Watching this reminds me of rednecks, which reminds me that my kids have inexplicably started listening to redneck, I mean, country, uh, music. So I am listening to the lyrics from songs by Carrie Underpants. Heard of her? They're not all that stupid, right? I mean Johnny Cash is country and I like his lyrics. Anyway she is singing about keying somebody's truck in one song. Yea. That's pretty redneck. Then she sings about letting go of her steering wheel while driving and letting "Jesus take the wheel". Uh, so I know I am not the most religious person in the world, but, don't do that. That won't work. I hope I never meet that dumb B on the road.

Anyway. The UF did not make it out again. It seems he has contracted some sort of ailment and had to go to a store in Indiana to get some medicine. Hope he feels better.

Did you know when Mr. T received his star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, he made his hand prints after the cement was dry? This week we play on 1/22 at 9 AM @ MARSHALL HIGH.

Mr. T shot the sheriff and the deputy.

West 43 East 14. West had Murdock, Rick the Pick, Billy B, Tommy B, Gio, Big Dan, London Collin & Tito. East had Criminal, The UF, Big Jim, Joe K, Roger M, Tony J, Twinkle Toes & Kevin. New T fan, Brian S, showed up late and subbed in on both sides. In the 10-year old battle it was Sackinator vs Turk. Sackinator came away with another sack!

Play of the day was East's lone score for most of the day. Roger M picked off Rick the Pick (Picked the Pick?) and returned 50 yards for the TD. As West came up to the line of scrimmage, the Pick yelled, "Hey Billy! Billy! BILLY!!!" Roger, playing corner on Billy's side thought, "Huh, maybe I should key on Billy." He was right. Definitely not Rick the Trick. Gio also had a nice day, padding his stats with a few TD passes at QB, on the receiving end of a 2PT conversion, and while playing on the D-line, a safety and a interception return for TD. Not a bad day. Rick the Pick halled in 3 interceptions while Tommy B got 4 and out picked the Pick.

The UF and I were discussing the inability of some footballers to properly catch a football. Most players know that you catch the ball with your hands, right? Well, after a couple glasses, er bottles, of wine the UF and I decided to make a video. We enlisted the help of the FF (that's Sammy, UF's son, the Future Fighter!)  Watch and learn, grasshoppa, as the FF demonstrates catching with your hands and then, catching with your body.

Mr. T doesn't care what Willis was talking about, it was probably just a bunch of jibba jabba anyway. And nobody wants to hear about why you cannot play this week, we know its all jibba jabba . The game is on Saturday 1/15 @ 9 AM @ Waters.

Mr. T does not sleep. He waits.

New Years Eve day we played 5v5. East beat West 56-42. Not much defense with 5v5. East had Levon, Twinkle Toes, Dancing with Stars, Justin and the Turk. West had Big Jim, Criminal, Tim D, Joe K and Tommy B. Cooley showed up late, again, and replaced Criminal. One highlight (lowlight?) was when Dancing with Stars got slapped in the face with the ball on a kick-off. He liked that so much, the next play he tried to catch the ball with his face. Uh, that didn't work out so well either. The Turk had a sack, a 40 yard kick-off return and a 40 yard reception. The Turk, recall, is 10 years old.

News Years day we played 8v8. East beat West, again. This time by a score of 48-34. East had Levon. Justin, Tom C, Howie, Criminal, Gio, and new T fans Triple XL Todd and Greg A. West had Tim D, Big Jim, Dances with Stars, Rick the Pick, Bannon the Banker, London Collin, Tommy B, and new T fan Howard. And of course we always have the small-sided battle between the 10 year-olds - this time Maxx (Bannon's son) played for West against the Turk for the East. The highlight of the day was Justin's interception return for TD. He took it about 80 yards and left most of West laying on the ground in his wake. Other highlights were the BIG hits from London Collin. East tried to set up a wall on one interception return and London demonstrated how to put a hole in a wall, like a bomb from the London Blitz. He also put a few other players on their @$$. Basically, anybody that attempts to block him. Like I've said in the past, this is "touch" football - for the guy with the ball.

Some of you guys have been failing with your attendance lately. Don't let anyone keep you from playing. Desperate times call for desperate measures. The UF did not make it out, again. But nobody's keeping the UF from playing. He just chooses not to. This time he was playing another game and got arrested. Maybe he can wear his magic boots to the football game.

We play on Saturday 1/8 @ 9 AM  @ Waters. The forecast is for a high of 33.  Make sure your car is running well so you won't be late. (Wow. That's hard to watch. Tommy B - searching the internet so you don't have to!)

Did you know, when a can of whoopass is opened, Mr. T jumps out? Happy New Year. See you Saturday.
