Stream of conciousness and trivia about my football season so far.My Saturday Team (Arsenal) and Sunday Team (Deep Speed) are both 3-0. We've already beat the OTHER best team in each league but there's still a lot of games and good teams left to be played.
Every Saturday I take a sip of Joes redbull for good luck. He was supposed to also keep his foomanchu but his wife made him shave it off ... even AFTER I told him to tell her that I said it was OK. Can you believe that?
The field we play at on Saturdays does not have a shitter so guys have to dump in the bushes. I've had to adjust my pre-game poo routine accordingly.
The fact that our other corner, Kainoa, and I wear board shorts has been a running joke on the team. It has led to the idea that each position will wear different leg wear. So far we have the following list:
Colin has retired. At least for this season. I really enjoyed my time on the Gridiron with him the past few years. Man, was he a terror rushing the QB. There were so many practices where we couldn't even run our normal offense because every conversation in the offensive huddle revolved around how to deal with Colin. He's too big and strong to stop even with a double team. He's too fast to roll away from. I liked playing corner behind him. Made my life so easy. My fondest memory of playing with Colin is the last championship we won together. We played the semifinal and final game on the same day with only 1 hour between games. Most of our team was missing and everyone played both ways. It was raining and the field was pure mud. We won on a gloomy deserted field with no one but the refs watching. I wouldn't trade it for the superbowl.
With Matty gone to SanDiego my teammates are all more like business partners than friends although I really do enjoy their company and care about them on a personal level ... so ... maybe they are sorta friends. The only active athletes I associate with off the court/field are Adam and Toombstone.
I have a lot of picks in the Saturday league. My goal is to lead the league in interceptions. Also haven't been burned for any TD's so far.
I've been lucky with injuries this season. Except for a mildly strained lower ab, I've had no major complaints and haven't had to miss any games. Knock on wood.
