[Offintheshower] game on

Farrell,
My point was essentially that always being "on the bubble" for the amount of
guys we're going to have makes it important to have the right amount of
players coming out. For future reference, if that ever happens I am not
going to play with some dudes from the other team. In Dan's words, I think
there's a middle ground. I caught an air bag with my head back in October
and wasn't out for football for a few weeks, but in that position I would
welcome someone who was reasonably athletic to come out and take my place,
especially if we're sitting at the 5-7 mark for players showing up and
people tend to forget or be late for games. Anybody I've brought out knows
we're in this with cash, and they have indicated they are in on any kegs as
well. Shawn (for example) offered to pay $10 per game, though it seems kind
of strange to ask someone for $10 to play when they're the 6th player and it
actually looks like we should be paying them to show up. This may be out of
context, but when I played college ball, if I had told Frank McCrystal I was
too busy to make a game, he would've told me to beat it for good.
Derek and Shawn are both great guys although Shawn tends to try to run a few
weird ring-dang-doos and hook-and-laddy type stuff which gets annoying. I
think this is because he thinks he's paying $10 a game and wants to get his
money's worth. I dunno.
Regardless, I will be bringing both Derek and $10 to give to Dan in lieu of
"fees" so that we can put this entire affair behind us and focus on winning
a couple of games and then intoxicating ourselves at a windup. I don't
think you actually agree with me 100% because the other part of my point was
largely that (for example) I don't remember what you look like. Introduce
yourself the next time you come out.
Paul
