"I Love it when a plan comes together!" - Hannibal

Next game is Saturday, 12/10, at 9 AM at Waters Field. Should we continue to use flags? Make sure you run it up the Flag Poll (neat pun, huh? I made that up!) >>>

Another ass-whipping. We played 7v7. This time East beat West 54-20. East had Levon Helm, Kenny Anderson, Gio, Bob V, London Collin, Roger M & 4XL Todd (I was told this week that I did not have enough X's in the worlds largest WR's nickname. Henceforth to be known as 4X.) The UF came late and replaced Gio.  West had Tim D, Chris Collingsworth, Tommy B, Big Jim, Big Dan, Tito, Criminal & Chad (4X's bro, though not nearly as large. We may call him.... M. Concentrate.) Eventually Dances with Stars showed and replaced Tito. Playing Peewee for West was the FF and for East was the Turk. Big plays I can remember? Chris had a pick six for West and Ken had not one, but two pick six's for East. 4X also scored another TD. He caught a pass right in front of me. I grabbed a hold of lots of 4X before the end zone, but, alas, no flag.

I was asked recently who certain people were as referred to by their nicknames. This is a nickname refresher:

• Dances with Stars is Mike C. So called because he really likes to throw in some hip-hop and lots of spin moves whenever he gets the ball. Sometimes he just spins alone, umm, disqualified. Sometimes he wears that red turban (confused about the red shirt).
• Levon Helm is Billy E. Named after the rock multi-instrumentalist, Billy is still lamenting "The night they drove old dixie down."
• London Collin is Collin Nolan. No reason except I like The Clash.  
• Criminal is Bard S. Criminal because he has a special relationship with VPD. "Come on back over here little piggy and I'll shove these fireworks right up your arse!" Criminal is also gay (nothing wrong with that, live and let live), but in a metrosexual kind of way. Some would say "European." I say, "what's the difference?" How many guys do you know that wear knickers, berets or lime green vests?
• The UF is JP. UF is short for the Ultimate Fighter, a name I felt JP needed since he is also gay and sometimes feels less manly. How do I know he is gay? Like Criminal, he knows gay things, but in a much more visceral way. For instance, he knows weird gay anatomy stuff, how to do the butler's handshake and how to do the elephant walk. Just ask him.
• 4X is the worlds largest WR.
• Tricky D is Doug M. So named because he likes to be tricky and do trick plays. He also carries that little rat dog around in his pocket and it will jump out and start chewing on your leg while you try to run a pass pattern. And it happens to be the nickname of Doug's favorite former POTUS.
• Twinkle Toes is Frank O. Frank got this name when he was quite a bit heavier than he is now and was in the same dance competition as Mike C. Unfortunately, due to a midlife back-pain crisis, Twinkle is out for the season. He lost a lot of weight and now his back bothers him. Hmm. There's a lesson here?
• Murdock is Richard D. You know the "A Team"? Of course you do. Murdock is the guy that's always pissing off B.A. Baracus.
• Rick the Pick is Rick L. He earned that name with a four pick game last year. Mrs. Pick suggested we call him Rabbit Rick but I am trying to keep this rated PG-13.
• Turk is Bard Jr. Turk is short for Turkish. You gotta love Guy Richie!
• FF is the Future Fighter - JP Jr. 
• Sackinator is Matt B. Billy B's boy.

We could use some more nicknames and I am open to any suggestions. Levon congratulated Tito after a nice play last week with "Nice grab Teats!" That's just wrong. We cannot use that one.

My good friend and Mr. T videographer Fred S (yea, thats right. we have our own videographer, how many pickup leagues can say that?! uh huh) told me about this new workout device. For those of you who feel you are having a tough time keeping up on the field, this might be for you. If you need a partner, the UF and Criminal are ready to assist!

Speaking of a tough time, football is a tough sport. But if you are in your late forties and plan to get up to play football at 9 AM, I do not recommend that you drink half a bottle of gin the night before. Pain! Tommy B. Doing foolish things so you don't have to!

There was a time when Mr. T did not pity fools. That time was called never. See you Saturday.
