Gotta share this!!
 

my youngest boy is 12 years old and playing Junior league football this year for the first time. He played his third game of the season today. His position is left cornerback and weighs about 85 pounds with his equipment on. Little guy ya know. Today they were getting ripped by this team around the outside the whole game and finally they let my boy play in the second half. The opposing team ran a reverse around the outside and my boy flat out leveled their 1st string RB and the blocker in front of him, it was AWESOME!!!! Not just a tackle but a lift and flip tackle. TOTALLY WICKED!!!!
Tomorrow they play the Monroe Panthers at Qwest Stadium in the pregame of the Seahawks game when they take on the Cardinals. Although I detest the Seahawks from years gone by, I am amped for the little guys. GO CRUISERS!!!!

A little guy can have a big toughness about him. Nasty gentleman.

What time does the pre-game show start?

When my son was about that age he played defensive end. In the last game of the year, near the end of the game he came in and leveled the QB. The QB fumbled the ball and he picked it up and came 5 yards from getting into the end Zone. The best part was that the QB was still on the ground and they asked if there was a Doctor in the stands. That was a proud moment. The kid got up after about 10 minutes and walked off the field. I don't even remember if they won the game.

Pregame starts at 11:15. They are taking part in the National Anthem along side the Seahawks on the field as well. It will be great!! That is one other thing to add to the story, The RB didn't get up for about 5 minutes. He hurt his arm in the destruction my son layed upon him.
Of course your enthusiasm for a your kids great hit needs to be subdued when the other kid is flat on his back ballin' his head off but it couldn't erase the smile from my face. Sorry couldn't do it, I tried.

my kid could kick your kids ass.

You're part of the problem.

Congratulations...PBJ just think, it only gets better as they get older....my son and his team took Sherman to OT last night after they were down by 12 pts and we won....:thumb: I can't even describe the feeling and rush I get when my son takes the field or has the ball.....:D

Probably Ali. He's a lover not a fighter. Piss him of enough though...

And Skip what do you mean I'm the problem? What problem?

The problem of overzealous parents in peewee football. You're trying to live your life vicariously through your small child.

I feel the same chiefs4me. Congrats back!!!! Watching your kid play the sport you enjoy most is just indescribable. :clap:

Sweet! You have to love that.

Nope. Just glad to see my son learn on the field in a team environment what it takes to listen, react and make decisions, know the value of comrodary(sp), and having fun. If he makes a great play I do feel like "That's my boy!!!" And when he is on stage in a play at school and he has a lot of lines to remember at pulls it off perfectly I still think "That's my boy!!
Not overzealous, he's the third string CB and has practiced the least because he signed up five weeks after everyone else. I'm just proud of him and his accomplishments. Not mine.

I'm pretty impressed with your ability to judge what type of parent he is simply by reading two paragraphs on a BB. :rolleyes:

Uh.. I think Skip was being sarcastic.

zing....that was good, very good...:p

I didn't pick up on that. If that's the case, I'm not that impressed after all.

Thing is since he signed up late he and another player aren't even dressing out because the NFL rules on the field only allows 30 players to dress for the game. I'm going there to support him and his team. And yeah I'm a loud guy on the sidelines but not because I wish I was out there but because I am a fan and the father of a player. What's cool is I have $300 clubhouse seats, a free parking pass and looking forward also to seeing Kurt Warner get sacked 10 times tomorrow. Plus seeing the Seahawks lose it in the fourth quarter, again.

Sons are overrated. Just ask Skip Towne's father.

:clap:

How did you get involved in this discussion? Just your natural tendency to run your big mouth? FYI, ask Bwana as he had a similar situaton with a fight over a peewee game. This dude is very proud of his 8 year old for coldcocking another 8 year old. He just couldn't quit smiling. You folks make me sick.

ROFL

gawd, when are you gonna die ROFL

Similar situation? According to whom? Denise?

That's not very nice....:(

According to Bwana. He had a guy want to fight him over a peewee game. This guy seems to be as serious about 8 year old football

Skip just laid down a rule on fantasy CP where people can't respond or get involved in conversations...

On a message board.

yeah, and my kid is only 4.

ANOTHER RICH SCANLON COMING UP!! :clap: :p

This guy is a proud father. He's proud because his son laid a lick on the ballcarrier. This is about a football game, not overzealous parents and coaches. I surprised you can't see a difference.

Nice.

Picking an an 80 yr old blind guy. You're a class act........

Skip, don't you dare turn into an old ninny on this board.

I'm from Lee's Summit and we are always getting our ass kicked by Blue Springs. We are down by 3 and my son throws a block on one of their big ass DE's and seals the hole and the RB hits it at full speed. 67 yards later we got a win.

Couldn't help but stick out the chest myself. Pretty cool to see your son excel at something. Recommend it to everyone.

I wasn't fortunate enough to have a boy. But overlook Skips ignorance and take pride in your son. I have two daughters who are very good at basketball, and YES I'm just as proud when one of them make a fastbreak for the basket, or make the perfect pass to set somebody else up for one.

Thats how we roll. :)

LS kids always liked spitting on me when we played. Although I had a good number of kids who went to Lee's Summit and there were a lot of good folks there. Lee's Summit North however...

Meh.

It's a new era over here bub. LS West is #2 in the state right now. They went to the State regionals with no seniors in their first year of exsistence as a high school last year. They got a hot shot coach and the players aren't moving to Blue Springs anymore. They had 2 kids quit going to Rockhurst and stay in district to play for the new coach. Might be time for a little pay back.:)

ok, mr. b.s. h.s. guy...

quit being snooty...



btw, did you ever answer my question about the roomie? she's lookin' awful good...

you know, it's important that you enjoy yourself whenever you can, and as often as you can...

it all ends after awhile...

oh shit, too maudlin...

how 'bout this? have you ever heard this one?

*while smoking a joint with new friends, in a pontificating manner*
"you know, it's our civic duty to destroy contraband wherever and whenever found, preferably by burning"... :bong:

Could be, BS is having a down year. I have heard they have great lineman but are lacking in skill players. Not a bad team but not really BS type qaulity. BS South was supposed to be the team to beat this year but they still don't know what it is like to wear the big boys pants in the state and got dismantled by Rockhurst.

LS historically has always had amazing athletes but...they always seemed like athletes that happened to be wearing football gear. Not enough "football players."

All the kids I know that "moved" here and there to play ball always got bit in the end. I know my senior year when we won the state title the team was mostly made up of kids I played little league ball with. I remember when I was in middle school the big thing to do was move to Blue Springs South but when it came to be thier time kids that could have been wearing purple and gold at the dome were wearing blue at home.

I would be suprised if anyone took Rockhurst. They seem to be the real deal this year.

Hopefully I can go back and catch a game at some point when I visit my family.

We make good roomies because we are not that interested in eachother. She is pretty attractive but...she is kind of a bitch as well. We dated some and I found myself not really wanting to listen to anything she had to say ever. She is way to much of a sorority chick. But she doesn't have much regard for what she wears around our place...so I do enjoy that.

Its been a good situation...some of her friends have become my friends. Which I like... :p

Anyone know why I've got the author of this thread on iggy?...

Ah Skip, Mr. Jsp ALWAYS like to throw his worthless crap around, He after all believes he knows all... too sad :( Your opinion differs from his and you are an asshole according to his philosophy... He likes to attack and be a complete dickhead PERIOD!!!!

Thats just not true...

That is your opinion! good for you :rolleyes:

I have been on the other side of many things with him and we have always had interesting conversations for it.

There seems to be only one person who can't handle other's opinions...

OK Zach I guess you mean me... I am wrong you are right whatever :rolleyes:

Dunno but he has dogs fucking for an avy.

No way LS West is ready to play with Rockhurst in its 2nd year of exsistense. But the future is bright because people are not moving to Blue Springs like they have in the past. Now they are moving into West's district. But the West district doesn't have a lot of reasonable housing in it so we may not get some players.

I went Tueday and saw my son's team dismantle Brittany Hill. Isn't that the school that funnels into BS South?

Brittany Hill goes into Blue Springs.

You sound like an 8th grade girl.

Now I am confused...are we talking about Jsp or Donger...:shrug:

Anyone watching the Rams game?
