Ricardo...Ricky Riccardo! Babalu!

Distance makes the heart grow fonder, or forget all together, but B Squared is back baby!

Three weeks of football in the books, it's time to rank the players for what is sure to be a good time ruined by brendon this saturday! 

12. The guy with a beard justin invited- Definately struggled on the line as speed was not his best attribute.  Im pretty sure he cant talk communicate either, which made coaching him difficult.

11. Brendon-  Here's a compliment sandwich; Brendon brought us the flags which was helpful, although he was the worst player there and halted the game a half hour while we all watched in amazement as he once again thought electrical taping a rolled ankle was a rational idea, he knows a lot of football terms.

10. Justin- Is Justin a good quarterback?  No, but this guy can dial up some blitz packages and offensive schemes that gave Jared and the rest of the mostly red flag team problems all day.

9. Demaio- Mike is pretty decent at football, granted there was no need for anyone to cover brendon because he's not ready for the ball to be thrown at him, but good blocking and some nice catches.

8. Nick- A tough reality check for Nick as he was abused by Griff on the line.  Defensively a little better,  but definately trending down from what was a solid performance in the snow bowl two weeks ago.

7. Brett-  Brett simply does not provide enough upside for a top draft pick.  Injury concerns as well as attitude problems will always plague his career and leave those drafting him wanting more.

6. Johnny- Johnny had a great game saturday, and was probably the best receiver on either team.  connected with Jared on a long bomb and let the mostly red flags in receiving touch downs.  Quarterback play was dissapointing however, which keeps him outside the top 5.

5. Ward- Not sure why he's this high, but the list is already compiled and tough to remember every one as you are typing.  He needs cleats, coaching, a playbook, and maybe a red bull to ever have a chance to be as good as high rival zack.

4. Zack- Hey turns out zack is pretty good at sports, just not street hockey, which isn't a sport.  Offensively he was the fastest guy out there who no one could cover.  If we ever find some one who can throw a football like a normal person he would be the best player out there.

3. Jared-  Hey he's not great at QB, but like Trent Dilfer, he wins.  Survived an ambush by Griff on every play, Jared led the team to a decisive victory over the blues by using his legs.  Also had a couple of impromptu laterals that iced the game.

2. JB-  Borges scored 5 touchdowns walking down the the field with a terrifying stiff arm.  He also overwhelmed Leighton offensively with his ability to get open without actually running.

1b. Griff- As close as one can come to a great game in flag football, Griff was able to tune out brendon and not huddle up after every defensive play and showed why football games are won in the trenches.

1a. Jon Ignacio- The only thing we learned from football saturday is that we are still not ready to take on ignacio. A dwarf amongst midgets, this 5 tool superstar has it all.  Perhaps in the coming weeks we can learn from him and adapt our game to maybe one day challenge his team again.

Absolutely agree - poor QB play the couple of drives I tried it. Next time will be improved!

becauze jared loves jared.

Nick said...

who doesnt love jared? (except when you're arguing with him)

Griff was a monster on Saturday. Monster. He kicked my butt.

Nick said...

oh yeah, welcome back big board!

Jared said...

I'm sure big board has an unbiased opinion of me and rates me fairly...

We are playing again Saturday so let me know whose in!

Jared said...

Silly big board, always posting from my account

Great games today!

Nick said...

i had fun. I wish I coulda QB'd that last drive lol.

John said...

Sorry nick...however you never would have had that last catch!

Recap nick?

Nick said...

no. I thought about it but what is there really to recap? There was no defense. The entire game was go deep if it was there, if not pass it underneath for the easy 5-10 yards. The reason we went 3-0 was because Jared and Johnny were way better at deep passes than JB and Mike (and the fact that we were a faster team we could get past their "secondary")

It was fun but a recap would turn into a Big Board/wpr wanna be.

Besides, I had a good day so I dont want anyone to accuse me for being near the top of my own list.

Nick said...

the best part of the game, for me, was the end when JB decided to cover me, he was literally licking his chops.

how'd that work out for ya?

nick we all know that you are always at the top of your own list :)

John said...

Nick goes from dropping a td pass that literally hit him in the chest at the beginning of the day to catching deep td passes while twisting and falling down...quite the progression!

Nick said...

lol...to be fair on the one that hit me in the chest, i was also falling down with griff falling down on top of me.


but yeah i should have caught it :)
