7th Annual Hangover Bowl, New Years Day, 10 AM @ Waters
Saturday, 1/5/13, 9 AM @ Waters
We played 8v8. The snow-sleet started at started right at kick off. It was like running in a Slurpee. West had Ken, Tony, Heat Seeker, Billy B, Tommy B, HH, Rick the Pick and new T fan, Jordan. East had Gio, the Judge, Big Jim, Tom C, Mike O, Eric, Mark H & Roger M. West beat East 35 - 20. West scored on 5 TD passes from Ken to Tony (2) and Billy B (3). East scored on 2 TD passes from the Judge to Tom C and Mark H and a TD pass from Gio to Big Jim. QB pressure was provided by the Camdenator who got to the QB twice for sacks.
Play of the day was a 40 yard TD run from the Camdenator who out ran some large pursuit and some Mr. T theatrics. The performances reminded me of other great theatrics. "You want tough? You got tough. BA!" Ahh, acting at its best!
Special thanks to Mr. T videographer Alexis for videotaping the game.
Imagine if you were a dog and could do anything you wanted? Hmm, I like the way he stalks his prey and pops out from behind the trees, but he's not very discriminating. Start the year off right: play football and keep your nose where it belongs!
The always politically correct Mr. T. Putting the "mas" back in Christmas!
Our next game is Saturday 12/29 @ 9 AM @ Waters
On Wednesday night we played 5v5. West had Mike O, Tom C, Big Jim, 4X & a feeble Tommy B. East had the Judge, TD Banker, Patrick M, Criminal & London Collin. East beat West 32 - 19. East scored on 4 TD passes from the Judge to TD Banker (2), Criminal & London Collin and on a TD pass from Patrick M to Criminal. West scored on 2 TD passes to Tom C, one from Mike O and one from Big Jim. Mike O also ran one in.
On Saturday it was 6v6. And it was cold and windy. Did that stop Mr. T football? Right. West had Billy B, Criminal, the Judge, Patrick M, Eric and, on his annual pilgrimage from LA, Sugar Bear. East had Big Jim, 4X, the UF, Tom C, Tony J & Heat Seeker. West beat East 27 - 7. West scored on a TD run by the Judge and 3 TD passes from the the Judge to Billy B. East scored on a TD pass from Big Jim to the UF. QB pressure was provided by the Sackinator who bagged 2 QB sacks!
I managed to re-injure my hamstring last week. I tried to play on Wednesday and decided to sit Saturday out again. Oh well. What to do. It's not like I'm gonna take a season off. I mean, how many more seasons do I have? 10? Maybe. So one season is a lot. I started looking for some alternative workouts. I came across this and thought about getting one for Christmas. "If you can sit, you can get fit." Wow. How easy is that? Too easy. So instead I decided on a different alternative workout: backwards running. I read it really helps to strengthen the hamstrings so that's what I've been doing. Round and round Waters field so I don't have to worry about running into anything. Seems to be working. But I definitely look pretty goofy - more so than usual. So I thought I might as well get a goofy costume - like this guy. I was thinking maybe the wig. Jojo thinks I ought to get the shorts. Hmm.
I videoed the game and I still suck at it (Sorry Sugar Bear. I missed your big catch.)
See you all Saturdaypara mas Football!

Special Edition Mr. T Football for the Holidays. We will play two games this week.

Saturday had a much improved turn-out. We played 8v8 with 3 new T fans. The Heat Seeker brought Simon Says, Tim D brought Kyu and 4X sold a chair to Ryan while he was working at HH Gregg. 4X found out Ryan was from Vienna and told him all about Mr. T football and Ryan, henceforth to be known as HH, could not resist. West had the Judge, Kyu, Simon Says, HH, London Collin, Bullet Bob, Murdock & Tommy B. East had Tim D, Gio, Heat Seeker, Eric, TD Banker, Mark H, 4X & Billy B. West beat East 40 - 28. West scored on 5 TD passes from the Judge to Simon Says, London Collin & Tommy B (3). London Collin also scored on the "play of the day" - a pick 6 to end East's last chance for a comeback. East scored on 3 TD passes from Tim D to Billy B (2) and Heat Seeker and on a TD pass from Gio to TD Banker.
Jojo, aka Mrs. T, was making cookies last night. These are Virginia cookies - not Colorado cookies. Jojo does not approve of Colorado cookies. Alas. Anyway, she told me I could lick the beaters. So I say, "That's me. The beater licker. " And Jojo says, "I don't know about that, but your definitely the beater!" Ha ha ha! Hysterical!
With rotating injuries we had rotating videographers. First Gio went out with his back, then HH hurt his leg, then I pulled my hamstring, again. Ugh! But, with the video camera on the sideline, at least there is something to do. Here is part of the game. With a special Holiday performance from Gio at the end. A man of many talents!
Merry Christmas everyone. And lick your beaters if you can!

Lame. Where is everybody? The only injuries on the field this year have been Dancing Star, Mike W and me. I heard Roger M has a bad hand and I know Rick the Pick is nursing a bad foot and Kevin W broke his collar bone and Big Dan has a bad back. But what about the rest of you? Ken, Patrick M, JC, Tom C, Tim D, Murdock, Mike P, the UF, Bullet Bob, Tony. Let's have the 10 of you show up this week. Added to the rest that have been out more than once: The Judge, 4X, Gio, Eric, Billy B, Criminal, TD Banker, Mike O, Big Jim, Heat Seeker, London Collin. We'll have one hell of a game.
This week is was 4v4 with Sackinator providing the QB pressure all day. East beat West 34-32. East had Gio, TD Banker, 4X & Eric. Then Heat Seeker showed (got off a plane, straight from the airport - dedication!) and subbed with West. West had the Judge, Criminal, Big Jim and Billy B. West scored on 5 passes from Gio to TD Banker (2), Heat Seeker (2) and 4X. East scored TDs on 2 passes from the Judge to Big Jim & Billy B and on TD passes from Big Jim to Criminal & the Judge. The Judge also ran one in. The sackinator got one sack! There were several great plays all day, like TD Banker's 90 yard TD on the first play of the day, but the best has to be 4X's TD reception in tight double-coverage wrestling the ball away from the Judge and Billy B. Watch the video and see for yourself.
Sorry to say I haven't gotten much better at taking video. I did get better at editing. There's even music! But that's it. I'm done. I plan on testing this hamstring ready or not. Without football, Saturday might as well be... Monday. Sooooo depressing.
I got one for you. What do Clay Matthews (26), Brian Urlacher (34) and Tommy B (48) all have in common? I mean besides the obvious that they are all three bad a$$ mother f-kers? That's right! All three have been sidelined this season with a pulled hamstring. But Clay and Brian are still out. Tommy B is back. Which means we could use a new videographer....
Are you up to the task? It's not like I set any kinda high standard you'd have trouble keeping up with. If you're still injured, this could be your calling. Maybe your a T fan that doesn't play? We used to have Fred S but he's been MIA - I think he reenlisted in the Corp. Maybe. Anyway, it's easy. Just show up and I will hand you the camera. It's criminal's camera and I think he owns it, legally. But you never know with a criminal.
The numbers were pretty weak for week two. Only 4 v 4 plus 1 then 4 v 4. The Judge played permanent QB for a while and then joined West with Billy B, Criminal, Bullet Bob & Mike W (for a while) and London Collin (replacing Billy B). East had Mike O, Tony, Eric & Big Jim. West beat East 21-14. West scored on TD catches by Criminal and Billy B and a pick-six by Criminal. East scored on a TD catch by Big Jim and on a TD run by Mike O. All 3 passing TDs were thrown by the Judge. QB pressure was provided by the Turk, the Sackinator, Connor N and new Tiny T fan, Zack W. Big plays were the pick by Criminal to turn the game around and, on the final play of the day, a sack by Connor N! We lost Mike W to another hamstring. Hopefully he will be back soon.
I can't play, I can't score, I can't win. I'm injured and angry. So what's an angry old man to do? Show up and shoot some video! Here it is. All the day's action with some slo-mo and, eh, informed commentary.
Sorry boys but I did miss a few plays: Billy B's touchdown and a couple of catches by Tony. If my hamstring does not get better I am sure I will get better a shooting video. Here's hoping I don't (become a better video taker).
Maybe the thought of making the highlight reel will get some of you out of bed and on the field this week.
This is reality TV at its finest. This is "Reali-T".
