[Offintheshower] Practice Time

Thu Oct 27 12:08:12 CST 2005

Yeah, those guys were being losers, although I will admit I semi-intentionally took two of them down going for a pick after getting annoyed with their cockiness.  However, I also got the tar beaten out of me coming down with that ball on the left sideline.  I felt like I was getting slapped by 5 angry grandmas at once... athough you didn't see me complain.  

The one time I ran in and give a guy a 2-hand touch, they freaked out like he just got tackled by Julius Peppers.  I guess I tagged the guy a little roughly, but I don't think I really lit the guy up or anything... is that really not allowed?  

Anyway... I just hope the rest of the teams out there are more interested in a good game rather than proving the fact that their team is not quite as washed up as ours.
