  • Summer Solstice…more like Sumer DISCice

    17 grown-boys took advantage of the extra sunlight this morning and got after it with some Ultimate Frisbee. With DTH’s cones marking the perimeter of the field and YHC’s pinnies (thought it was penny until today) being utilized to help differentiate teams, here’s what went down…

    Warmarama – Moseyed down to the field and circled up. Gave the F3 mission and got into it…SSH, Cherry Pickers, Dead Man Hang, arm/shoulder stretches, Merkins, Wilson’s Wife and Fudd’s Wife.

    The THANG – Split up into two teams. Team-pinnies had (9) players and the pinnie-less team had (8) players. The extra man on team-pinnie was initially seen as an advantage and that makes sense as we can all agree that 9>8. But in the end, it didn’t prove to make too much of a difference. Team-pinnie did end up taking the W but it was in LARGE part due to the red-zone yips on the other side. Make no mistake, YHC will take a W all day long and twice on Sundays. However, this felt like one of those games where the the winning team didn’t really win but instead the other team lost.

    Team Pinnie: Cookie, Wildcat, Shiver, Orange Crush, Don Draper, Snip, Purple Rain, Futon, Rudy

    Team Pinnie-less: Sable, McRib, Fandango, Lab Rat, DTH, Heist, Pearl, Warby

    Prayer Requests/WINS

    • PRAYER – Wildcat has his quarterly scan next week. Prayers for strength/comfort for he and his family.
    • WIN – Yeehaw’s daughter Liv continues to kick cancer in the teeth! Recent scans have gone very well. Let’s gooooo!! SUCH GOOD NEWS!
    • WIN – Don Draper gave an a big shoutout to the PAX for rallying around him during some tough times over this past year. Proverbs 27:17 comes to mind. “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
    • WIN – Shiver (FNG) successfully recruited by DTH and OC.
    • WIN – Wildcat won’t brag on himself so I’ll do it for him. Based on his effort in the mornings and his constant positive attitude, you’d never know that the man is battling Stage-4 lung cancer. I know I speak for the PAX when I say that we are all very thankful to have you out there pushing us to better. You set the bar high both on the field and off the field. Stay strong, Brother!

  • I’m no Meatball

    Seven sweat-loving studs showed up to celebrate Meatball’s 1 year F3-versary, but the poor man being waylaid in a board meeting asked YHC to take the reins. Scorching and 90, we decided a little Ultimate Frisbee in the shade sounded good. So the PAX made a warmerama circuit around the AO grounds and played 35 minutes of 3v4 on a small field with lots of TD’s and a few newbies learning the game very quickly. Meatball joined us for COT and led us out in prayer, with a special word for Slider heading to Florida. Meatball will get on the Q sheet again soon for a celebratory Q. Yours AYE! ~DTH

  • Participation trophies for everyone!

    20 F3RVA HIM’s converged at the lush fields of NoToll to play Ultimate Frisbee this morning. Making four 5-man teams playing a couple games simultaneously was briefly considered, then scrapped for a bigger field with bigger teams.

    Thugs sat it out still nursing an injury but getting some fine reps and stretches in while the rest of us battled it out on Field 1. Bromance was our only injury today, after maintaining a lethal presence on the field, he felt something snap in his calf so took the rest of the time to stretch with Thugs. OC then ditched his fluorescent penny and defected to Labrat’s team, where they went on a 4 TD streak to pull back into the lead. (We all know OC is the secret sauce.)

    Notable disc vets were OC, DK, Snuff and Labrat who maintained a very steady presence in the field with (nearly) perfect throws, while we saw Rudy, Warby, Handshake, and Machismo dominate the end zones – both on offense and defense. Also when Labrat teamed up with Dealer and/or Snip short fast play TD’s happened quickly!

    Honorable mentions to L Woods, Fandango, McRib, and Dry Rub – these guys staying moving and snatching the entire game!

    Kudos to our other Respect Players – Scram getting in there to make plays and not getting re-injured, Rodeo Clown showing surprising agility and sticky fingers, and Mr Roper making smart short plays in the mid-field. 

    Both teams played very well, but Team Labrat won 9-8 in the final minutes. Looking forward to a re-match this Thursday at Timberwolf! Yours AYE! ~DTH

  • Zac Efron: Iron Claw but Weird Jaw

    A dozen grown-boys got their day started the right way by playing some Ultimate Frisbee. With McGruff’s fancy frisbee in hand, here’s what went down…

    Moseyed down to the track for a quick lap. Several PAX members spent their time debating whether or not Zac Efron is on roids and why the heck his jaw looks like The Crimson Chin. (Google it). YHC spent most of the time deflecting comments from the PAX about Zac Efron being his man-crush. No, Sir. YHC is more of a Hugh Jackman guy. The dude plays Wolverine and then turns around and puts on a theater display in The Greatest Showman! Don’t have a man-crush, you say? Liar. Game recognize game!

    Warmarama – Gave the F3 mission and got into it…SSH, DonQ’s, Cherry Pickers, several shoulder stretches, Merkins, Wilson’s Wife, Rosco’s Mom, LBC’s.

    The THANG – Split up into two teams of 6. The bad guys won 7-5. YHC takes all the blame for the L and for an emotional outburst or two. Stats were hard to track but here are your comps…

    Warby – “Hines Ward” Tough player that’s not afraid to do the dirty work.

    Fandango – “Ed Reed” Ball-hawking defender who’s always setting up field position.

    McGruff – “Ja’Marr Chase” A tone-setter whose presence creates opportunities for the offense.

    Oyster – “Jason Witten” The unspoken leader of an efficient offense.

    State Farm – “George Kittle” Dependable and a force in the middle of the field.

    Cookie – “Troy Polamalu” Always at the center of the action.

    Futon – “Charles Woodson” Silent assassin contributing on both ends of the field.

    McRib – “Mike Vrabel” Quiet confidence and a coach on the field.

    Wildcat – “Larry Fitzgerald” Hops for days and absolutely zero quit in the guy.

    Crabgrass – “JJ Watt” Great defensive player that also somehow finds the endzone.

    Finkle – “CJ Stroud” Fearless rookie that you know isn’t a flash in the pan.

    Rudy – “Antonio Brown” Emotionally driven with high-high’s and low-low’s.

  • Heist’s Hot Hands!

    11 grown-boys set their alarm clocks this morning so they could get up and go play outside with some friends. YHC was itching to play some Ultimate Frisbee so here’s what went down…

    Warm Up – Moseyed on down to the football field and took one lap around the track. Gave the F3 Mission and got into it…SSH, multiple shoulder stretches, Cherry Pickers, DMH, LBC’s, Merkins, Wilson’s Wife and Fudd’s Wife.

    The THANG – Split up into teams for some Ultimate Frisbee. The odd number left us with 6 v 5 and that one-man advantage proved to be a HUGE factor. It’s hard to track stats out there but here’s a quick summary of everyone’s performance.

    Heist – A+ for effort. Left his hands at the house but brought extra heart!

    Fandango – Steady contributor in the middle of the field and earned his team a few (illegal) extra yards.

    Boberry – Flexed his Disc Golf muscles and helped pin the opposing team back on kickoffs.

    Cookie – Utilized press coverage like a boss but was tickled when put under pressure.

    Warby – Great communication, was never out of position and kept his head on a swivel.

    Honeymoon – Put on a clinic with great throws, catches and coverage. Possibly a former Semi-Pro player.

    Orange Crush – Whether it’s because he switched teams or not, we’ll never know…but the dude just wins.

    Crabgrass – Made the guy on his shirt (Mahomes) proud today. Stellar throws and several Kelce-like TD’s.

    Tzatziki – Silent but deadly. He let his play do the talking with consistent tosses and reliable hands.

    Oyster – Strategic and calculated. Executed the West Coast Offense brilliantly with short/quick throws.

    Rudy – Was held in check for most of the game but was often in the right place at the right time.

    Announcements –

    • Saturday, May 25th – Big Rig leading Murph workout at Rock n Roll at 7:00am
    • Monday, May 27th – 7:00am convergence at Tredegar Iron Works
    • Sunday, June 2nd – 2F event at Horner Park from 3:00pm-6:00pm

    Prayers –

    • Heist’s friend has a daughter named Hannah who took a nasty spill and busted up her knee. Prayers that she’s able to get back on her feet soon.

  • Ultimate F’n Frisbee – sorry you missed it Oyster.

    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.
