'Twas a beautiful morning to gather for a little friendly competition that would provide a surprising amount of fitness. Bagboy and YHC rolled in HOT after warming up the legs on a Bear preview ride. The PAX present (really just Dallas and JollyRoger) had decided the group was going to play football. Since we were supposed to play Ultimate Frisbee, YHC called a quick audible to appease the rest of the PAX and BKOI. Ultimate Football.
Gather round for a quick warm-o-rama. SSH, IST, Cotton Picker and Windmill.
Waffle House and El Chapo were designated as captains to choose teams as if we were preparing for 6th grade dodgeball. WH drafted a team based on height and sneaky sneaky skills. El Chapo at a ripe 22 years old, chose the Nantaan and the 1st F Q. He must be angling for a board seat. The MVP, Smores, was a Brady-esque late round pick.
Although El Chapo was the captain, make no mistake that Dallas was the vocal leader of "Team Complaint". They raced out to a quick 1-0 lead and the chest pounding began. Waffle's team, "Team Integrity", walked to the opposite end of the pitch and performed ALL 10 of the specified 'Mericans with flawless form. (Each time a team was scored on, the team had to complete 10 'Mericans)
After the first score, it got ugly. In a nutshell the remainder of the game went something like this.
Dallas complained… Team Integrity scored… Dallas failed to do any 'Mericans… Jersey Boy was stripped… Dallas accused YHC of cheating… Smores caught a TD… Most of Team Complaint failed to do the necessary 'Mericans… Special Sauce hugged Bagboy and then caught his gentle pass… Team Integrity made a rare mistake and El Chapo was fast enough to score… Dallas complained again… Special Sauce dropped a beatuiful dime in the end-zone… Two trains collided accidentally… Moses swatted a pass nowhere near him… Smores caught another TD… Springfield became worried about Sauce's and Bagboy's affection for one another… Kid Rock got an earful about UM players… Team Integrity interception and subsequent score… Jersey Boy with a rare Complaint score… Geek threw a nice pass that was dropped again… Thug alone in the endzone… Waffle House lead his team to an easy victory.
YHC may be missing very few details but that is a rather accurate game summary. (Or at least from my view).
Solid 1st F today but even better 2nd F. 3rd F brought to us by Bagoby. Thank you!
Although his team lost and he completed 3.3 'Mericans in total, Dallas did catch a couple TDs and even showed us his newly transformed runner's gut. A lot of hard work so far, brother! Keep it up. Well done!
El Chapo remains a speed demon. Not sure the gloves are game legal but he was the shining star for his squad. 2nd Team All-BRP.
Smores came out of nowhere to haul in some clutch balls and delivered when needed. 1st Team All-BRP.
I appreciate all the Men that posted to take part in the fellowship and continue to prove why F3 is so special. A friendly competition amongst guys is always healthy. It's also healthy to not take yourself seriously and I can tell you we over-indexed on that Saturday morning. Space watch estimates are 2.8 – 3.4mi of mainly sprints plus 'Mericans.
Aye!
