Sup. Switched it up a little bit today with Grow Ruck around the corner. Wanted to chill out a bit and just get some light cardio in. Of course, I got my butt whooped trying to smash frisbee’s out of the air and not let team #1 clinch victory.
Kicked things off with two laps around the track (wearing my boots to see how things felt). Check – good to go there. Next, did some copperhead squats and Ukranian soldiers. Lastly, walked the dudes through a few back strengthening (saving) exercises courtesy of Dr. Huberman (check those out here)
Divided the guys up into Team 1 and 2.
Team 1: Warby, Swoop, Futon, Steve (FNG), Big Rig, and McGruff.
Team 2: Purple Rain, State Farm, Heist, Fandango, Rudy, Tzatziki
A narrow victory for Team 2 (3 to 2).
A few observations:
1) Very evenly matched. Last time I played at Dog Pile it was an absolute bloodbath…
2) We have some athletes (not me of course).
3) The SUCK doesn’t suck as much when you are having fun.
4) Team 1 should have beat team 2, but needs to work on that red zone conversion.
5) Key to victory: Short passes or rugby style flying V OR just get some dude that can accurately sling it and get a burner man to grab it.
Superlatives:
The Wall: Purple Rain. Easily 5 breakups in the end-zone.
The semi-pro: Warby. He knows the game.
Tall Ninja: Swoop – sneaks up and snags the disc out of the air.
Heard them coming: Futon. Solid game overall. A few drops on hearing the pressure.
Shirts off for safety: Big Rig
Mahomes: Fandango for the occasional QB scramble and possible violation of utimate rules.
Frisbee Dog: Catch anything you throw. Solid game McGruff.
QB1: State Farm. Good leadership for Team 2.
Did you see that!: Tzatziki. Solid player. A few amazing catches (similar to McGruff)
Wes Welker: Rudy. Fast as hell. Creates separation. Scores.
Good Sport: Steven. Came out as FNG and got in the game.
On the FNG: Steven a DEA agent came out today. A buddy of Fandango. Really chill dude. I threw out the name “Class 3” after the recent downgrade of the Devil’s lettuce by the DEA from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3 drug. Anyway – after research, the name should be “Schedule 3” not “Class 3,” which is an ATF designation. But hey kids – stick with what Mr Mackey used to say.
Announcements:
1) We continue to crush it with the F3 Team bright side fund raising. Keep at it.
2) GTE this weekend. Join us at the Bon air community center this Friday for BBQ at 6 p.m.. Pay OC $25 for the rental and food. F3 Pax only.
COT: I took us out. Prayers for safety and good decision making for the prom kids this weekend. Safety and growth for the GTE participants this weekend. Thanked God for the opportunity to lead, so that we can be better leaders in our homes (for our wife and kids) and in our community.
Thanks to Futon and McGruff for bringing the glowing discs.
