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.
