BBI Flag Football Game?

EricJ : 10/21/2018 9:10 pm
has this ever been proposed? Would anyone here be interested?

OR, are we too old and out of shape?
I play in a weekly game in Maryland

I drop  
Joey in VA : 10/21/2018 9:33 pm : link
Dimes as a QB. I retired though.
I'm in  
ThatLimerickGuy : 10/21/2018 9:57 pm : link
If its in central NJ.

And yes I am old and out of shape
A lot of the board  
bradshaw44 : 10/21/2018 10:07 pm : link
Lives in the DC area. And many others are peppered through the world. Would be tough to pull off.
i'd be down  
CMicks3110 : 10/21/2018 10:08 pm : link
if it's in NY Metro area
Central Jersey  
Gregorio : 10/21/2018 10:34 pm : link
I’m down for this. Slow and lost a step but who cares?
Flag?  
jcn56 : 10/21/2018 11:48 pm : link
The entire appeal would be the hitting.

Of course, if the age of the crowd at MetLife is any indicator, it would be low speed impact...
There is zero chance I would get involved with this ...  
DonQuixote : 10/22/2018 12:50 am : link
... but I like the idea that it would happen!
watch tomorrow night. one team in blue will be playing flag

That makes 2 of us...
I'm in, when the BBI over 50 flag football league is ready to go.  
GiantsUA : 10/22/2018 7:20 am : link
I am the "Lance Thomas" of the flag football league, leadership qualities and can play defense.
ok some decent replies so far...  
EricJ : 10/22/2018 7:38 am : link
as far as the location is concerned, this is a call out to Eric. Your connections with the Giants should get us onto the practice field at MetLife this spring. Maybe inside the bubble.

We should get at least 16 guys for (2) 8 man teams. If you want to play but a bit out of shape, you can play both offensive and defensive lines.
I'm in...  
BamaBlue : 10/22/2018 7:40 am : link
unless there's actual running involved.
Maybe  
BigBlueShock : 10/22/2018 8:38 am : link
We could reach out to Ben McAdoo and Ray Handley to coach each side? We could see them in action for ourselves and finally put to rest any arguments about which one is the greatest coach of all time
I'd be down if it was in Manhattan

Sorry  
LawrenceTaylor56 : 10/22/2018 8:43 am : link
I only do tackle football. Anything less is for pu....
I used to play a lot of Flag in central jersey.  
Keith : 10/22/2018 9:23 am : link
Seems like you got some interest Eric. Make it happen.
I'll play if it's tackle.  
Beezer : 10/22/2018 9:27 am : link
And if Larry plays. On the opposite team.

:)

Morning Lawrence!!!
In order to play in this game  
pjcas18 : 10/22/2018 9:34 am : link
(and post any more) interested people should make themselves available and

a) have to take the wunderlic test and achieve a certain level (I'll say 30 or > ) (should eliminate half of you)

b) have a combine (should embarrass the other half or the same half - at least half)

I'm picturing a scene similar to the movie invincible. A bunch of fat guys in capes thinking they can play.

On that same note, I first read this as "I'm a shut-down corner and a chain-smoking WR."

Likely more accurate.
Just for clarity...  
BamaBlue : 10/22/2018 9:42 am : link
I don't like water and I'm strangely attracted to kicking nets. I'm sure some accommodations can be made. Thank Eric.
i'll be there

Wait... lmao. You think the Giants brass are gonna let us play flag football on their practice field?
I pick Randy  
Joey in VA : 10/22/2018 11:30 am : link
He's a generational talent.

Yeah, because you're going to take Randy away during prime Bigfoot season to play flag football.

Might as well draft Gary Zimmerman.

arcarsenal : 10/22/2018 11:46 am : link
For one or two plays, I can be the fastest guy on the field.
I'll play but if only Joey is

Kids fall down, brush off some dirt and bounce back up.

You know what a few broken hips would cost John Mara?

Not nearly as much as the medical bills for OV...
What about Cheerleaders...?  
BamaBlue : 10/22/2018 12:13 pm : link
my vote is YES as long at they pass the 'thumbs test'.
Hey guys, I have a great idea.

Lets play a Flag Football game with bbi'ers. Yeah? Ok Eric from BBI, organize it, lol.

If there were enough advance notice, I might fly in for this. I can throw, I would do this just still all of your stunned faces.

Eric, get on that.

And then Sy needs to attend and write it up as an actual game review.

Oh, the hilarity.

Funny... no. I will organize. Just hope Eric can use his contacts at the Giants to allow us to use their field.
Will the Giants provide jerseys?  
GiantsUA : 10/22/2018 2:03 pm : link
If yes, I want to be on the "road white" team. And I get 56 or I am not playing.

jestersdead : 10/22/2018 2:35 pm : link
Hopefully as a casual poster, I still get an invite.

Due to a possible location issue, what if there were multiple games played in certain areas and then winning teams advance to play on the practice field?
Kidding of course
