Today was my flag football team's first playoff game against an unsightly foe, The Aristocrats, a team that had stuck it to us pretty badly in the regular season, 28-8. They a) not only beat us but also b) publicly humiliated our team on the league's website by saying that "Big time players step up in big time games!" A quote from their player of the game who was quoting Reggie Bush of all people. Yeah, slightly ridiculous and over-the-top.
Well, this afternoon, P.I.F. played big time in a 27-0 dismantling of The Bourgeois.
Small caveat: they did only have 7 players vs. our 8 but it still would have been a blowout nonetheless.
Everybody stepped up to play an all-around solid game, not a lot of mistakes:
Adam got Player of Game honors with his multiple TD's on O and D, Shan probably set a record of INTs and return yards in a game, Kellyn was tenacious on D (as usual) pass rushing like the late Reggie White and hauled in some nice outs, Maggie was like a Jack Russell Terrier terrorizing the opposing QB, Matt owned the skinny post all day long with some post catch wiggle, Debbie grabbed flags like it was her Biznass, Nicole hung tight in the curls, John put the lock down on his zone, and Johnny caught some key passes despite his groin injury.
At the end of the day, the good guys came out, put on a clinic, and we are yet one game closer to the branding of our fearless captain, Mike, with the team moniker, Pride is Forever.
Oh yes, it's going on his left derriere!

the whole team had the intensity of ray lewis out there; there was going to be no feeling sorry--not for that team.
well played and with the good support of the guy who carried us in so many of our games.
Dear Lord - thank heavens the season is over. This topic gets way too much time in the Dystrup-Chiang household.
And who shall I hold responsible for letting the dum-ass play (besides the dum-ass himself?)?? ;-)
