Pro Bowl 2012

Mr. T Super Bowl
Forget about Sunday, It's Mr. T's Super Bowl Saturday at Marshall HS @ 9 AM. This is your last chance. After the game it's the VI @ 11 AM.

Pro Bowl

We only had 9 players this week. 4v4 is a lot of running. East beat West 31-20. East had The Judge, 4X, Tony, Dancing Star and Richard D.  West had Gio, Bob V, Big Dan and Tommy B. The Judge threw 4 TD passes to Tony (3) and Dancing Star. He also ran one in. Richard D had 3 interceptions and that ended up being the difference in the game. Gio threw 3 TD passes to Bob V(2) and Tommy B. You may notice the score looks odd. That's because we have goal posts at Marshall and we are attempting to make our extra points. East was 1 for 5, West was 2 for 3. Kickers we are not.

It's a bit of a trick getting on to Marshall's field. They like to keep the gate locked for some reason. But does that stop Mr. T fans? Rhetorical question. Climbing over is one way to get in but you can also squeeze through. Watch as 4X demonstrates. I noticed that it was much easier getting back out. I think he stretched the chain.

Injuries
We have had a lot of injuries this year. It's football. It happens. Some regular players that have been MIA:

• Billy B - foot
• Tim D - ankle
• Rick the Pick - knee
• London Collin - back
• Eric - hand
• Big Jim - shoulder (though he keeps playing - throws left-handed!)
• The UF - butt (recurring injury - not football related)

Eric's hand

And I haven't seen Ken since he got smacked in the head. Ken, what's up? Next week is it. I'd like to see some of the other regulars come out. For the last game of the year lets add these players to the nine we had for the Pro Bowl: Justin, Tom C, Patrick M, Criminal, Mike P, Big Jim, The UF, Mark H, Ken, Roger M, Kevin W and the Heat Seeker!

Time waits for no man... unless that man is Mr. T. See you Super Bowl Saturday, suckas.

Ice Bowl 2012

Mr. T Pro Bowl

The pro's head to Hawaii for a special game every year. In honor of that tradition, Mr. T will head to Cunningham Park ES (it's just like Hawaii!) to play on grass this week. The field is behind the school. Unless the fields are too wet, then we will play at Marshall HS (also just like Hawaii). I will send a note later in the week if it looks like the weather will force us to play on turf. But unless I say otherwise, go to grassy Hawaii! Game time is 9 AM.

I was asked recently if the stuff I write in this blog is all true. The answer is yes. Absolutely. 100 percent.

Ice Bowl

We had 5v5 for the Ice Bowl. East beat West 56-28. East had The Judge, Tom C, Dancing Star, The UF, Mike P and Criminal. West had Patrick M, Big Jim, 4X, Kevin W and Tommy B. The Judge threw 7! TD passes to Tom C(3), Dancing Star(2), Criminal and one to the Turk! The Judge also ran one in. Patrick M threw 2 TD passes to Big Jim and Tommy B. Big Jim also threw 2 TD passes to Patrick M and Tommy B. Player of the day was the Turk who, in addition to his TD, also registered 2 sacks and 37 hurries! He's the 75 pound QB menace.

Ice Ball

The score difference was actually much worse early on but West was making a steady comeback. If we could only have played for the rest of the day and maybe have someone turn the lights on for us I feel certain West would have had victory. Alas, so many footballers have their familial commitments that we cannot play all day... and night. Of course, I could play all day and night and its not just because I have the wind for it, which I do. I also have Mrs. T's permission. And blessing. This is the actual conversation I had with Jojo when I got home after the game:
"How did it go?" Jojo asks.
"We lost." I say. "But we were making a comeback."
"Why did you stop?"
"Oh, everyone said they had things they had to do, you know, for their families."
"Wow," she says, "If you wanted to play all day, you could. I know how hard you work all week honey. Saturday is your day. "
"Thanks Jobabe. You're the best. But the rest of the guys aren't as lucky as me."
"Well", she says, "they just need to grow a pair."

The A Team

I was encouraged to post a list of players that did not show up for the Ice Bowl that are now formally on the P Team. But I can't do that. I'm too nice. Instead, here is a picture of the players on the A Team.

The A Team

Not pictured are Tom C - who had to leave early as soon as he scored 3 TDs (he makes you feel so, uh, used) - and Patrick M who is taking the picture. Suffice to say there are two teams, the A Team and the P Team. If you ain't Patrick or Tom and you ain't in this picture....

When a can of whoopass is opened... Mr. T jumps out.

See you Saturday at Cunningham Park Elementary sucka!

The Big Storm Venue Change!

Fairfax County School activity is closed tomorrow. VYS is closed. VYI is closed. There will be no Lacrosse at Waters Field. The "wintry mix" has the whole town shutting down.

What about Mr. T football? Rhetorical question. See you tomorrow at WATERS FIELD!

Don't be a member of the 'P' team!

Shrinkage

Game this week is Saturday, 1/21, @ 9 AM @ Marshall HS. Lacrosse will be taking over Waters Field and Madison HS.

Jojo, aka Mrs. T, has approved February 18th for the 'T' Party. Put it on your calendar!

Turn out for the game was weak. I know it was cold but we had some serious shrinkage. And I'm not talking about the guys that showed up. I am talking about the guys that did not. Was it too cold? We played 5v5. West beat East 35-28 in a good back-n-forth game. West had Patrick M, Big Jim, Criminal, Bob V and Tommy B. East had The Judge, 4X, Tom C, The UF and Kevin W. For the East, The Judge threw 4 TDs all to Tom C. Tom C is very tough in man-coverage. The Judge also had 2 interceptions. For the West Patrick M threw 3 TDs to Big Jim, Bob V and Tommy B. Big Jim also threw a TD pass to Patrick M. And Big Jim had 3 interceptions - one a pick six. Quite a day for Big Jim. Providing 75 pounds of QB pressure for both sides was the Turk.

Dream Bowl

We played 4v4 on MLK day. East beat West 42-14. Playing for East we had The Judge, Roger M, Mark H, Criminal and Tommy B. West had Gio, Heat Seeker, 4X and Big Dan. The Judge threw 4 TD passes to Roger M, Criminal and Tommy B (2). The Judge also ran for a TD. Roger M had two picks, one was a pick six. The West got their scores on two kick-off returns for TD. Both by the Heat Seeking missile! I have a suggestion: DO NOT KICK THE BALL TO TITO! The pass rusher was the Turk again and this time he got a sack! Quote of the day was from Mark H who, while trying to catch up to a pass, yelled "Aaahhhhhh!!!! Why am I so damn slooow!" Pass incomplete.

The Judge and I bet on the Packers-Giants game. I lost.

Did you ever notice, at the end of the Cialis commercials on TV, there's a message that says, "See our Ad in Golf Digest"? It doesn't say anything about being in "Football Digest". Because it ain't in there. Correlation? I think so.

Mr. T consults his physician whenever his erection lasts less than four hours.

There are only three weeks left boys. Next year you will just be... older. See you Saturday at MARSHALL HS.

The Jibba Jabba continues...

Game this week is Saturday 1/14 @ 9 AM @ Waters Field.

East beat West 27-26 in a close come-from-behind win. East had The Judge, Dancing Star, Bullet Bob, Eric, Big Jim, Patrick M and 4X. West had Tim D, Billy B, Tommy B, Heat Seeker, Gio and Tony. The Judge threw four TD passes to Bullet Bob (2), Big Jim and Patrick M. Gio threw four TD passes to Tony (2) and Tim D (2). Extra points were the difference in the game - The Judge ran three in for the East.

So I am watching the playoffs games this past weekend with my daughter, Olivia. This is an actual conversation we had:

"Dad, why are all the football players always spanking each other's butts?"
"Oh", I say, "that's because they are all part gay. You have to have some gay in you to play professional football. That's why I can't be a professional football player."
Liv thinks about this for a few seconds and says, "Yea, you definitely don't have any gay in you." She thinks some more and then says, "What about Bard and JP?"
"Good question.",  I say, "I guess they just missed their calling." Just like I should have been a writer...

   

How about some politics? Don't you think Michelle Bachman is super hot? I sure am gonna miss her.





Did you know the Pope has a fish decal on his car with the letter T inside it? See you Saturday, suckas.

P.S. So 4X says to me,"How come I gotta be a Chinese baby?"

Three Games. More Pain. More Gain.

Game this week is on Saturday, 1/7 @ 9 AM @ Waters Field. So far, no Lacrosse try-outs to move us off Waters.

Bourbon Bowl

We played 9v9 on the last day of 2011. It was hot and sunny. West beat East 30-26 in a very close game. West had Tim D, Bob V, Kevin W, Tommy B, Ken, Jeff, Tom C and new T fan Kevin F and high school player, Matt. East had The Judge, Dancing Star, Justin, Eric, Roger, Murdock, Patrick, 4X, Mark H & high school player Connor M. Plays of the day were pick six for Connor M and one-handed TD grab by the Dancing Star. Tom C and Bob V also had some real nice TD grabs. Both of these were thrown by Tim D. Ken threw a TD pass to Tommy B and Ken ran for a TD. The Judge threw TD passes to Justin and the Dancing Star and also ran for a score.

One-handed TD grab!

More Pics from Patrick M

Pain Bowl

We played 5v5 on the first day of 2012. Another nice day for football. It was hot, sunny and... foggy? Huh. Anyway, West beat East 28-6. West had Justin, Bob V, Big Jim, Criminal & Tommy B. East had The Judge, Dancing Star, Kevin W, Eric, Mark H and 4X. Justin threw 4 TD passes to Bob V (2), Criminal and Tommy B. The Judge hit Dancing Star for East's only score. Play of the day came on Bob V's second TD. After the catch he scrambled for about 40 yards leaving a wake of East-side jock straps. QBs felt the heat of peewee rushers Danny W and The Turk.

Pity Bowl

We played 8v8 on 1/2. West beat East 38-6 on a cold and windy day. West had Tim D, Justin, Bob V, Big Jim, Kevin, Gio, Tommy B, and new T fan Kevin R. East had The Judge, Dancing Star, Mark H, 4X, Eric, The UF, Tito and new T fans Cody and Clarence. Player of the day has to be Tim D. He threw 5 TD passes - one each to Gio, Justin, Kevin R, Big Jim and Tommy B. He also caught a TD pass from Justin. The Judge hit Clarence for East's only score.

Video from Criminal

There's been a lot of injuries lately. Particularly groin injuries. At one point 4X offered to help the Judge with his injury. We are not sure what 4X was planning to do, but fortunately the Judge declined. If you prefer to not have 4X help you out, there is a special stretch for avoiding that particular injury. You get down on your hands and knees, spread your knees outward, press your buttocks backward and, well.... hard to describe. But we did decide on a name. Its called the "Sandusky stretch". The UF is quite good at this stretch. He can demonstrate. Criminal can assist.

Footballs. There are real ones made of leather. And fake ones made of synthetic material. The Judge pointed out that the real ones feel more firm than the fake ones. Strange, don't you think?

Mr. T knows Victoria's Secret. See you Saturday.
