Chirp Post 3: Chirp Hard with a Vengeance

In another excellent week of spirited chirps I tried my hand at stats keeping and heckling simultaneously. I can tell you it is hard as heck, but is also ton of fun. If you are interested in giving it a shot you can sign your name up here: Link to signup sheet!  It has also been determined that all stats keepers are beyond reproach as our volunteers are held in the highest regard for donating their time. So an excellent strategy might be that if you have been saving up a really really good chirp, you can stats keep a game and let it rip without fear of retribution :)

To start off I'd just like to say that this week's post was put together with the help of a lot of people so thank you to everyone who contributed both on and off the field! 

Morgan started us off this week as he helped me statskeep from the sideline. He had an excellent chirp yelling “Jay Thor is wide open! Clearly he is not a threat!” in what I think was a chirp that zinged both Jay Thor and the defense of Mehmet’s team. An excellent 2 for 1 deal that any GM would scoop up in a heartbeat!

In what was a bold strategy, Mehmet’s team played a comical game of “Let’s throw the most interesting throws in the world and see if Katie can catch them.” Geofford slightly disappointed mentioned “We really can’t seem to throw to Katie tonight.” Without pausing he stated “Maybe we wouldn’t be off sync if Katie hadn’t missed last week’s game” directly glaring at me as he said it. Being a good sport I mentioned that Geofford beat me to the punch line and in a rare but excellent self-burn Geofford stated “That’s probably the only time I’ll beat you in anything!”

My one chirp of the night was directed at Krolak who made a nice heads up D that looked like a lot of work. I reassured our opponents not to worry as he would have to now rest for 6 points before doing that again.

This next one is from Jon Rowe: “Brian Perry was riffing on Trout dick jokes as per their team name... some of the highlights were Trouser Trout, Flaccid Trout, etc....... from the sideline I told Brian that if he played his normal style of defense he would be a Poached Trout.”

The Burnt Toast saga continues as John Haig continued to have team cheer issues this past week (Newman, I copy pasted it this time as I apparently got it wrong last week! #sorrynotsorry) John writes “The harassment during my pregame cheer continued, but this time from my opponents. This week was the Burnt Toast vs Burnt Toast matchup. Geofford tried to time their second half cheer perfectly so that each team would shout “Toast!” at the exact same time. Sadly he was a beat too slow.”

Cory had a few slings as well as he shares: I kept yelling "Can't stop the train!" every time Dave Townsend scored. Then, he dropped one wide open in the endzone. So I said to our sideline "I guess the train fell off of the rails on that one." I also chirped Nick Theriault when he said that he should try for less throwaways. I told him that he meant "fewer" throwaways. Hadrian called it a "technically correct burn."

This one is from Bisang who says Dante and Mikey had a supreme display of talent as they juggled the disc between themselves (Mikey’s busking skills coming in handy no doubt!) Sattolo says there was even a bobble off a shin to keep the disc alive. After all the dust settled, Dante had claimed the disc as his prize and Bisang yelled “HIGHLIGHT REEL!” in celebration. Dante then responded with an excellent conservation of greatness by immediately throwing the disc out the other sideline.

Hadrian commentated that in their game there was a strange virus being spread around called the Throwaway Colantagion. Al confirmed stating he threw away a snacker's dozen and then curious decisions started to be made by others. The virus quickly spread from person to person, claiming Michael Colantonio, and then Dante and even Kate Cav. Hugh Podmore also had a severe case of the Colantagion in his early slot game, so he must have caught it the week before. I won’t be surprised if everyone shows up on Monday wearing medical masks:)

Thanks again everyone for another great week of chirps! Keep them coming! Watch out for next week's post as the ladies have promised to step up their chirp game this coming Monday!
