Next week we play the Pro Bowl on Saturday 1/25 @ 9 AM on Waters.

On Saturday we played 6 v 6. West beat East 35-14. Playing for the West we had JC, Wiley, HH, 4X, Tommy B and new fan Andrew D. For the East we had the Gauge, London Collin, Jordon P, Big Jim, Mark H amd new T fans Sam and McCoy. West scored on TD passes from JC to Andrew D and Tommy B.

East scored on 3 TD passes from Big Jim to Rick the Pick, Chad and Tom C. Rick the Pick also threw a TD pass to Tom C. Chad had the game's only INT. East scored on 4 TD passes from the Gauge to Mark H and Tommy B (3).

Only two weeks are left. And then.... NO MORE FOOTBALL FOR A WHOLE YEAR! Devastating, I know. So, WTF guys, we need numbers!

When you miss Mr. T football, you get restless. And when you get restless you engage in risky business. When you engage in risky business, you rob banks. And when you rob banks, you get arrested. When you get arrested you spend 20 years in a cell with a large man named George. And when you spend 20 years with George, George will want to get married.

Don't marry George. Play Mr. T Football. And, no matter what, never, ever, act like this guy. See you Saturday, suckas.

Lightning Bowl

Next game is on Saturday, 1/18 @ 9 AM @ Waters Field. Then we will play the annual Dream Bowl on MLK day, Monday, 1/20 @ 9 AM @ Waters.

Saturday the numbers were waaaay down! Only 7 Mr. T fans showed to play 3 v 3 in the rain. East beat West 42 - 35. East had Rick the Pick, HH, London Collin and new T fan, Chandler. West had the Gauge, 4X and Tommy B.

Padding the stats! - that's one thing good about playing 3 v 3. Rick the Pick threw 4 TD passes to HH (4) and Chandler threw 2 TD passes to London Collin (2). The Gauge threw 5 TD passes to 4X (2) and Tommy B (3).

We played in the rain. It never stopped. At one point the sky got dark, wind picked up, rain started coming down harder and we got some thunder and lightning. It was a microburst! Of course we are a cautious bunch. We paused play and sought shelter from the storm in the safety of our vehicles..... Buwahhhhhhhhh!!!! Right!! Not!

So, a good way to recuperate after the game is to take an ice bath. It keeps the swelling down in your legs and lower back. It is definitely not the most comfortable thing to do, but there are ways to make it more tolerable. I like to fill the tub with cold water, get in, and then add the ice. But, the Gauge says that takes away the shock value. Hmm... Not so sure about that. Of course when you are sitting in an ice bath you don't need to freeze all of your body parts. The Gauge recommends using a beer huggie to keep your junk warm. Select one without a hole in the bottom. Or select one with a hole and stick your finger in there. Then you can "self-distract" and maybe not think about that cold water so much.

Only three weeks left boys. Don't get so self-distracted that you don't make them count! Play football, suckas!

Hangovers and Ice

Next game is Saturday, 1/11 @ 9 AM @ Waters Field

For the Hangover Bowl we played 7 v 7. East beat West 36-35 in an overtime thriller. Playing for East was the Gauge, JC, Chad, HH, Big Jim, Mark H and new T fan Steve G. West had Dewey, Tom C, Roger M, 4X, Cooley, TD Banker and Tommy B. Lucha Libre started for West but re-injured his leg. East scored on 5 TD passes from the Gauge to HH, Chad and JC(3). East also scored on two 2-point conversion passes from the Gauge to Big Jim. West scored on a TD run by Dewey and 4 TD passes from Dewey to Roger M, Tom C, TD Banker and Tommy B. Roger M had the day's only pick.

On Saturday the field was covered in snow and at start time it was 10 degrees. Did we play? Is a duck's a$$ water tight? (See post on 12/21/13.) Ice Bowl, baby! Mr. T football has never, ever been called on account of the weather. And it never, ever will.

For the Ice Bowl we played 4 v 4. West beat East 21-19 in another close game. West had Dewey, HH, Billy B and Tommy B. East had the Gauge, Tom C, Mark H and returning from his happy hour sabbatical, Rick the Pick. West scored on 3 TD passes from Dewey to Billy B(2) and Tommy B. East scored on 3 TD passes from the Gauge to Mark H and Rick the Pick (2). Interceptions were made by Mark H(2), HH, Billy B and Tommy B. The Sackinator provided the QB pressure and got a sack.

We lost two players to non-football related injuries. The Heat Seeker hurt his knee while cooking and Billy B dropped a donut on his foot. Fortunately Billy B's injury only sidelined him for one game. It's a dangerous world out there boys - be careful. There also seems to be some affliction with (and here I quote an unnamed QB who likes big guns) "homo-eroticism" while playing football. Now we, at Mr. T, are, as I have said many times before, okay with whatever anyone is in to. However, we can't have people jumping on top of each other during the game for no good reason. Especially when the player involved, who will remain unnamed, weighs 370 pounds. As a general guideline, if the ball is nowhere near you, you should not be climbing on top of anyone.

It was also noted that our games have all been very close and competitive. I believe that is because the guy that makes up the teams each week, yours truly, is excellent at assessing talent (Should've been a NFL scout. Missed my calling) and strives to make every game fair. Now according to the Gauge, the reason we have such fair teams is because I am a sensitive guy, in touch with my feelings and with the feelings of the other players. Hmm... Maybe so, Gauge. Thanks for noticing.

Get in touch with your feelings. Play football, suckas.
