Like a good deal of men our age, the trio of sports enthusiasts here at Pyle of List participate in various Rec League sports. Unlike most of these men, we have a forum to air our petty grievances and gloat about our meaningless accomplishments, making us 47% more pathetic than your average Rec Sports participant. By doing this, on a dignity scale, we’re just above the guy that intentionally tries to injure a girl for showing him up in the coed league and slightly less dignified than the out of shape guy that wears Under Armor.
However, in true Pyle of List fashion, we want to lower everyone’s self-respect to make ourselves feel better. We want you to submit your Rec League stories, pictures, scores and stats to tips@pyleoflist.com and I’ll feature them in this weekly section. Since we don’t have any submissions, I dug into the archive for this week’s award. This week’s Weeknight Warrior is Matt Hammer (right), who averaged almost 32 points/game in the Northern State University intramural league.
What are the odds he puts this on his resume?
Are you kidding? 32 per game in an intramural league! This is an incredibly impressive accomplishment. Although after having a look at Northern State University’s impressive Hall of Champions webpage I’m pretty sure that once he got past Kyle Meier (NSU’s intramural Jim Thorpe), nobody could stop him. Congrats Matt Hammer on your amazing season and being JP’s first Weeknight Warrior!
JP’s game stats after the jump.
This past Wednesday, My (JP) flag football team started our season to less than outstanding results, getting straight blown out. It was quite cold and windy and the field was partially on a baseball diamond. That’s right, the old Candlestick park “watch out for second base” field conditions. If professional athletes have a little trouble with a grass to infield transitions while running, imagine how much fun it was to watch the amateurs deal with it. We used it like the 9th man in our zone defense.
And the team we played was called “The Roughriders”. If the name was chosen ironically, then they’re comedic geniuses, but I’m fairly sure that’s not the case. I feel like they should just take the next step and call themselves “Brokeback Mountan”.
