The Report From L.A.
Oct. 27
WEATHER: Partly sunny, 70, slight
wind. Perfect.
WACKY PLAY IF THE DAY: Jim throws
a 10-yard pass to Don. Don decides, for some inexplicable reason, to
throw the ball back about 9 yards to Bryan. Bryan, for some inexplicable
reason, rears back his arm to pass. Jim yells ``Don't Throw It!,''
realizing a) Bryan is past the line and b) it's illegal to throw two
forward passes on the same play. Bryan throws the ball towards the
sidelines where it looks like it will fall incomplete. But Doug somehow
snags the ball while heading out of bounds, for an interception.
QUITE A QUARTERBACK RATING: Shon
threw three TD passes in about five attempts, two of them off of wide
receiver passes.
RUN, FORREST, RUN: JP had the
defensive gem of the day. Playing cornerback, he first tips a pass in
the air, then snags it, then changes direction and runs 40 yards for a
touchdown. All while his partner Matt is taping Jim's ankle. But Matt
did see the replay on Josie's camcorder.
TAKE THAT: The most emotional TD
came on a dump pass to Scott, who started the play blocking Brandon.
After a fierce battle akin to two elk battling, Scott left his block,
caught a pass, rumbled into the end zone and spiked the ball
emphatically.
IS HE WEARING STICK 'EM?: The best hands have to belong to Doug.
He catches everything. A case in point ...
BEST USE OF AN OPPONENT'S BODY PART TO
MAKE A CATCH: On a 2-point conversion, Bryan does a great job of
batting the ball away. But the ball lands on his upper back and sits
there a second until Doug calming comes along and grabs it.
HEY, GRAB THIS: It was one of
those days where about a dozen guys cursed as they had an opponent's
flag, only to see it slip through their fingers. On one play,
Brent--unaware his flag was still attached--stopped and was tackled at
the 1-yard line.
SHUTTERBUG: As always, thanks to
Brent for taking the pictures. There are plenty more than we post so e-mail
him if you want some sent special to you.
NEXT UP: Saturday Nov. 3, 11:30
a.m. Bring a white and dark shirt.

co-founders Jim Buzinski and Cyd Zeigler Jr. play in this group.)
