“The base offense is one in which a center and two tight ends surround the football, three receivers are split right, three more split left and two quarterbacks stand behind in a shotgun, one of whom has to be at least 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage.”

- In another post that will appeal to almost no one, here is genius innovation in sport at work. If you know anything about football formations, you will know that they all are essentially the same. You have linemen, recievers, possibly a tight end, a single quarterback, and a running back or two.

What this offense does is make everyone a reciever (potentially). Only five recievers are allowed downfield, but since each reciever is potentially eligible, and there are two quarterbacks, the possibilities are limitless as to how you can get the ball downfield, thus being extremely hard to defend against. You don’t know which quarterback is getting the ball, you don’t know which reciever is getting the ball, or who can run it. ALL 11 players are eligible to run the ball if they recieve it behind the line of scrimmage.

This really is genius.

Of all the voices I imagined Peter Knox to have, imagine my surprise when that one came out.

In reference to this debate.

I usually tackle my video ideas solo but was lucky to have Ryan and Bree over last night for a laundry party and this came about as I was struggling to put a fitting end to the older men/younger women “PWK Debacle” of late yesterday.

If you were even the slightest bit interested in the debate, or me, or want to watch Bree slap me three times hard, I strongly suggest you hit play. Enjoy.

22

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:30:08 -0400

I’ll be 25 in two months, and the advice I’d give to my 22 year old self is

start saving for a wedding now, they’re EXPENSIVE.
forget who you are, it won’t be the same person you will be in 3 years.

jgh:

I turn 22 about a month from now — August 20th. Leo baby! (People usually guess I’m 26 or 27. Does this mean I look old or act older than my age? Hmm.)

Tell me, Tumblr advice would you give your 22-year-old self? Alternately, if you’re also turning 22, how do you plan to celebrate your terrible two redux?

We swept our doubleheader with two one-run games! First win vs. a team we should have handily beat but played close and won 5-4. Second game against a team who would beat us 98 out of 100, but everything came together for a (slightly less than) perfect 13-12 win! GO KIRKWOOD WARRIORS SOFTBALL!

The afterparty was free pizza, wings, and beer at one of our teammate’s bar (where this picture was taken, only 7/12ths of the team). Can’t beat that.

“Never say ‘I’m friends with the owner.’ Restaurant owners don’t have friends. This marks you as a clueless poseur the moment you walk in the door.”

- I need to tell everyone who complains at the restaurant I work at this exact statement. They are all “friends of Dave,” and they all will get us fired because they “know Dave” if we don’t do what they say. Dave only cares if they live or die because if they die he loses a revenue stream.

“This time it’s not a text message. NFL Live’s Chris Mortensen is reporting that Brett Favre has asked for his release from the Green Bay Packers. Apparently, the Packers really didn’t want him darkening the Lambeau hallways anymore and are set to move ahead with Aaron Rodgers. If the Packers grant him his release, Favre will have the option to play with another team. All indications are that Favre still wants to play and will search for employment elsewhere.”

Creamer shoots 60 in 1st round of Farr - Golf - Yahoo! Sports:

Tumblr needs more Paula Creamer - my fav female athlete ever. Not only is she an unbelievable golfer, she’s nice (or at least tolerant - I met her at a tournament and, starstruck, asked for autographs (pps - she signs in pink sharpie)), and obviously very easy on the eyes.

Yay Paula!

“Well sir, I am not a bigoted Cro-Magnon, nor am I uneducated, BUT, a woman has NO business running a pro men’s sports team. And if she did, it would need to be a large Irish-American girl who could beat you arm wrestling! Seriously though, it’s a man’s sport, played by men, it should be managed by men, coached by men, and no bat girls either, period. That is what softball is for!

“But, alas, they had no idea just who would come — youthful Wiffle ball players, yes, but also angry neighbors and their lawyer, the police, the town nuisance officer and tree warden and other officials in all shapes and sizes. It turns out that one kid’s field of dreams is an adult’s dangerous nuisance, liability nightmare, inappropriate usurpation of green space, unpermitted special use or drag on property values, and their Wiffle-ball Fenway has become the talk of Greenwich and a suburban Rorschach test about youthful summers past and present.”

- Of relevance because we have a wiffle ball field, albeit in someone’s yard. The people complaining in this article are the worst kind of assholes.
