Have A Good Sandwich

Yinz Team, for the uninitiated, is a team of social media creators in Pittsburgh that often come together to play a Constant Variety of Sports.  We had played together previously as part of the PSL for the summer softball league.  TheJim of Sportsocracy fame was able to marshall a gathering of aspiring football warriors for a game this past Saturday.

A competitive (but friendly) game between Team Rugby and Team Bling at Bellevue Memorial** Park featured great individual efforts – including a standout performance by Terry Tate TheJim as the Keystone Light Player of the Game.   Uncle Crappy was my nemesis throughout the game and I can tell you that he’s one hell of a downfield blocker.   He also peeled off my blown coverage and got a nice touchdown.

Final score?  Not sure – 6-5(?).  Team Bling definitely emerged as the champions.

My fantasy*** stats:  5-10, 65 yards, 1 PassTD, 1 RushTD, 104.17 passer rating, 1 RecTD.  And, as some have pointed out, I looked like the Travelocity gnome.

Thanks everyone for an awesome time and I look forward to playing again next year.

More recaps here, here, and here.

* after doing some research, I was able to determine that the “first annual” moniker is appropriate here since we intend to do it again.  As Anthony pointed out – “inaugural” would work as well.

** I’m pretty sure the “memorial” part is the site of KDKA correspondent Jim Lokay’s ACL tear.

*** fantasy being the very keyword here.  Pass statistics are based upon half-assed estimates.
