evey thanksgiving morning for the past, i would say, 5 years, our youth pastor has held an annual tackle football game. kids/men in church can invite whoever they want. i think i've attended all except one (last year) because my wife hates that i'm so pooped and out of commission for the rest of the day. since it's inauguration it has gained some steam and gotten bigger and bigger... this year we expect 75-100 people! usually we'd play like 20 on 20 full field, but last year it was too nuts and they had to run multiple games at once across the width of the field. this year there are rumors of 3 games going simultaneously!
testoterone is on full blast and things can get heated. dudes get chirpy and buttons get pushed. we'll see how it goes this year since i got the green light from wifey... should be fun, i heard some nutjobs are flying in from maui! other churches are bringing their best and my cousin in law and his little crew have been lifting weights and are ready to "lay some hammer." whatever, to be honest, most of these guys haven't played high school football even and are sorta living this one day fantasy.
i say i'm not gonna overdo it, but... i know how i can get. theres choke potential for me to go overboard trying to hold it down for the old guys. hopefully we all survive. pray for me!
