Well...I'm still feeling the depression from the game this weekend (four missed field goals...one dropped TD pass...inept coaching decisions) but on reflection, the defense actually did a creditable job, got two more picks and had the offense in a position to score about ten times...but I admit, if Chizek and staff continue running such unimaginative game plans, I'll be glad to take Barney back.
On a lighter side...my son had his first Youth football game on Sunday. As you may remember, he has decided the Center position is his calling (based on the fact that he doesn't have to run pass routes during warm up if he's the center) and he has become fairly good at it, especially the cut block and the crab block. Matter of fact, during a scrimmage last week, he cut block a kid who outweighed him about 60 pounds, the kid fell on him and he rolled him off and then jumped on his so he couldn't get up...then kicked him after the play was blown dead (just for good measure). The big kid limped off the field and didn't come back in.
Anyway, we arrived at the game for his warm up...him dressed in his football uniform and me with a t-shirt and shorts. Who cared if it was only like 50 degrees and the wind was blowing 30 mph. This is FOOTBALL and REAL men can take the cold...espcially if they are in the stands sitting next to whatever fat person happens to be handy to break the impact of the wind (always find a fat person to sit next to when it's cold at game time...they not only break the wind but they generate excess body heat, kind of like a radiant heater....). But, as I was going up to sit down one of the officials (who apparently knew me by reputation as a great member of a college level chain gang) asked me if I would volunteer to be part of the Youth chain gang. Why not? That would give me a chance to watch the "Boz" (as my son likes to be known...don't ask) in action up close! So...I go out on the field with a couple of other dads who were press ganged into service and get ready to watch.
It was freakin cold! Down on the field I quickly regretted my wardrobe choice as I listened to the announcer butcher the names of all the players and watched the coin toss. My kid's team won and the game was on...the hapless Bengals versus the mighty Jaguars (guess which one my kid plays for?) I get ready to watch some pancake blocks...some cut blocks...heck, maybe even a nasty chop block or two. The teams line up...my kid hikes the ball...the QB hands off to the TB and BOOM....60 yard TD run. Damn! Didn't even watch my kid on that one! I'll be ready next time! After the Bengals rack up negative yardage on three plays they punt. My kid comes back on the field, hikes the ball...BOOM...a 72 yard TD run! Crap! That happened so quick I didn't get a chance to watch him again! Third time...same thing (57 yards) fourth time (61 yards)...Bloody hell! It's half-time, we're up 27 to 0 and our offense was on the field for 4 stupid plays! I'm here freezing my a$$ off and I haven't even had a chance to see "Boz" do anything. I vow to pay much more attention in the second half! Meanwhile, I fulfilled my function as a role model by having a quick smoke on the sideline and using the chain to trip a couple of Bengal players as they ran off the field after loosening up...to the merryment of all.
2nd half starts...Bengals go 3 and out. Jaguar ball....63 yard run! Touchdown! Damn it.... :angry: I tell myself to cool down (hah...like that was hard). Still almost an entire half to go with us up 33 to 0. Bengals three and out...again. The Jaguar offense runs onto the field and....hey! My kid isn't there! The little bastard is standing on the other sideline playing grab a$$ with the rest of the starting O-Line! These are the damn 2nd stringers! I didn't stand out here freezing my balls off all day for my kid to play five plays! Not only that...but now we have the "Mercy Rule" invoked (I guess slaughtering a lesser team is okay but dismembering them is not) so there is a continuous clock PLUS the team that is doing to killing can only run running plays between the tackles! Jezus! PC comes to youth football! The 2nd stringers bumble around on the field for the rest of the half and my kid never gets back in. We win 33-0 and my kid gets in on exactly 5 plays....about the only thing I accomplished was wiping snot from my dripping nose onto the sleeve of my t-shirt.
Next week...I'm going back into the stands. Being on the chain gang without getting paid is a totally bogus experience..... <_<

Speaking of Fat guys breaking Wind..Anyone else have trouble digesting Soy Milk?
I tried some a couple weeks ago because it was cheap (A little past the exp. date) and I had to spend most of the day in front of a fume hood...And I'm starting to get to that age.."Never trust a fart".. <_<
And Cy'
Any chance of Chiznik stealing borrowing the Boz's team's plays?

I hate refereeing youth games because the fans are worse compared to Varisty games really it's sad and the parents think that their kid are playing in the Super Bowl. I've had to kick out a few dads because of their behavior in the bleachers.......but ahhhh "The Mercy Rule" you gotta love it, well the referee's should, not the parents, but it makes our day go by so much faster!
Maybe once your boy grows up and gets bigger, maybe he'll go to Nebraska :lol:
