9 grown-boys kicked the NFL season off by playing a little football of their own!
WARMARAMA – Moseyed over to the parking lot for a quick stretch. SSH’s, DMH, CP’s, AC’s, Shoulder stretches, LBC’s, Rosco’s Mom, Merkins, Wilson’s Wife and Fudd’s Wife.
COP 1: Strolled over to the bus loop to run/bernie/carioca up and down a few bus lines. Stopped half way through and broke into (2) teams. Team #1 and Team #2 were each assigned a bus lane to throw the footballs around.
- OBJECTIVE: Spread ~25 yards apart and throw the ball to a teammate. If caught, team completed (1) Burpee and took (1) step back. If dropped, that butter-fingered PAX member stepped to the side and planked for the 6.
- RESULT: Team #1 followed directions and took (1) step back after each completion. Team #2 claimed to have done the same but somehow only extended the distance between them by ~5 yards at the end. The call on the field was a Team #2 win. After further review, there is no conclusive evidence to overturn the call so the ruling on the field stands. WINNER: Team #2
COP 2: Moseyed to the tennis courts for some agility drills and a modified “Oklahoma” drill.
- AGILITY – Each team took to one side of a tennis court and faced each other. One PAX member from each team stepped up and stood at the middle of the court and waited for the call. On go, the runners touched a total of (4) lines on the court and sprinted to the finish. YHC was the only one left standing from Team #1 after Round 1 so the battle was declared a TKO. WINNER: Team #2
- OKLAHOMA – YHC’s favorite football drill of all time! YHC stood at one end of the tennis court with both arms out. On the other end of the court, each team sent a representative to the line to lay on the ground and face up. On go, the PAX members rolled over/stood up/sprinted to YHC to slap the hand first. This is where Team #1 shined! WINNER: Team #1
COP 3: The original plan was to play on the football field but it was way too dark so the PAX called a quick audible and moseyed back over to the bus loop for some football! Fandango won the tryout for all-time QB and did not disappoint!
- Each team started from a light pole and was given (4) plays to make it to the next light pole for a first down. Once the team crossed that light pole, they had (4) plays to score.
- OBSERVATION: Slow starts by both offenses, Crabgrass can run the seam route like a BOSS, Team #1 implemented the zone-defense to perfection, it’s hard to locate the football in a dimly-lit parking lot, Fandango has a CANNON.
- Due to time, the game resulted in a TIE so the WINNER of today was Team #2.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
