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.
