Wanderin' Grovers Get Elmo-ed By Rolling Rotters

Continuing their dynastic dominance of the Coed C League, the Royal Raleigh Rotters Football and Table Tennis Society destroyed rival Wanderin' Grovers 4-2.75. Sam He Is and Mark The Spark each got a goal, but the record crowd of 14,291 were wowed by two spectacular goals from Aner "The Battling Basque" Barriola. (Not to be confused with team chaplin Jon "The Baffling Basque" Zubi.) The misspelled Grovers could only manage a goal a piece from Big Bird and Snuffleupegus, and 3/4 of a goal from Fozzie Bear.

The roaring Rotters rocketed into first place in the elite C League, and their 2-win streak is already inspriring comparisons with the Steelers of the 70's and John Wooden's UCLA basketball dynasty. Should this trend continue for the next four seasons, the Rotters will reach 40-0. The Persons in Black march into their next game with a mix of complacency and over-confidence that only the best teams can pull off.

Daaaaaaammmnnn!

Pete may be a jerk, but only when he drinks too much and the Steelers win. He is one of the finest men I know, and certainly no sexist. Marxist, maybe. It seems the spirit of Howard Cosell must have crept into his post. See his prior post where he makes a point of lauding the female Rotters.

So long as you wear black and drink beer -- political affiliations notwithstanding -- Rotters value people of all genders, nationalities, ages, ethnicities, creeds, heights, weights, hair colors, hair lengths, religions, sexual orientations, and hat sizes.

p.s. Pete, you need to invite Ann to be a blog contributor. I just remembered we had this conversation at Horniblows the other night. I don't remember anything else about Horniblows, however.

Oh yea, well I won't show up for any games!!

Yes, I confirmed my status as a male oppressor with my Boys in Black comment. It's my addiction to alliteration showing, more than my deep seeded hatred of women. Actually, I hate men much more than women, including myself. Please forgive me.

The remark has hereby been expunged and expurgated and replaced with "Persons in Black." I actually corrected myself before reading these comments. Thanks for sticking up for me, boys. Don't hate me, Ann. Hate O'Shagnassy.
