Simon Is No QB

In news about myself and continuing my recreational sports playing, I am in a flag football league on sundays. I typically play DB, Kick/Punt Returner, and occasionally some wideout. Well this weekend our Quarterback was not there and since our line could not block anybody, we made the genious decision to put me at quarterback.

Let's just say that I've got a baseball throwing motion and I only throw 50% spirals. I'm 5 foot 8 while the lineman on both teams were 6 foot plus so I never could see down field and I had to jump throw to get the ball over the on coming rush.

So... Simon's statline looked something like this. 60 yards rushing, 7-13 for 70 yards. Zero touchdowns. Two interceptions. One interception that was batted in their air by an oncoming rusher and caught by a different DE. And one that was knocked out of a receivers hands in the end zone and bobbled in the air by a crowd and taken down by a DB.

Next game we gratefully move back to the comfort zone.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
