Absolute Blue Gridders
After a series of questionable calls, three coaches challenges and an overturned turnover, Absolute Blue inexplicably finds themselves in a position to win this game. To say their offense has sputtered is an offense to sputterers everywhere. Nevertheless, it’s first and goal at the seven with the game on the line and a chance to advance to the playoffs. With under a minute to go the ball is snapped. Kevin again heads to the cheerleaders and Tom has lined up for the opposing team. Bill gives the ball to Don. Who gives it right back. A loss of 2 and it’s their most successful play from scrimmage today. Second down and Bill throws what might be regarded as a forward pass, taking out an elderly peanut vendor. This would be considered a completion in some leagues but we call it third down. With the clock stopped they manage to gather themselves together in a kind of befuddled huddle with a pompom girl and an opposing player. One must admire their collaborative skills if not their strategy. In shotgun formation, Bill fades back and is immediately tackled. By Tom. One must admire his enthusiasm if not pretty much everything else. Desperation time now as the ball is snapped just as the clock runs out. Sensing a pair of ragtag linebackers rushing in a kind of misfits blitz, Don takes them out, giving Bill time to find an open receiver, presumably from either team. He lets the ball fly to the corner of the end zone, where Skip has been since halftime still waiting on a hotdog. He put up his hands in defense and finds the ball between them momentarily, then throws it down with a look of disgust. But the referee rules possession and signals touchdown. Yes, touchdown Absolute Blue! They win the game that nobody wanted to see and move on to face the Hoosier Daddys next week. The few fans in the stands register their revulsion and quickly head for the nearest drive thru. So our final score, Absolute Blue 6, Surfside Elementary 3…
