Fall is here. Mariners baseball is over. All this means that it's time that we organize a group for some Lookout Landing (NFL style) football.

Star-divide

We only had one game last year, but in 2007 this was happening almost every autumn weekend. It's hard to beat an activity that involves good people, a lot of exercise, and is followed by plenty of beer and discussions of the Seattle sports scene.

The only trick is that a surprisingly large fraction of the people who played in 2007 now either post infrequently or are banned. We need new blood, and that's where you come in.  We used to play five or seven-person games, but hey, back then LL's audience was significantly smaller than it is now. There's no reason we can't get a much bigger group out to play one of these weekends. What do you say? It was usually touch-football, and like LL softball, it's open to all skill levels. If there's enough interest we can get a whole series of these going.

I propose Saturday the 17th at Cal Anderson park in Capitol Hill.

The following people are at least tentatively in:

Katal

Phildopip

Slurvey

Benne

Coach Owens (you hear that, Coach?)

Tootthekazoo

Robert + 2 frowns?

KirkHarbaugh

Schaefer

Bretticus + others

Johnbai

Brayden04

Scruffy Lefty

KentRoyals5

Two Rs and Two Ls

JamMasterJesus

Jimmimoose

WWBaker

Jaejo

UPDATE: We'll start start around 1 and go until ~4.

Talk about good timing. I'll be on vacation by the 17th, so I may actually be able to make it down from Bellingham.

Then I might be able to come down and show you all my mediocre sports skills.

I'd like to play.

I played a game with Baker earlier and after that none of his friends could make it again,so I’ve pretty much been wanting to play football for a while now but had no outlet to get my fix.

I’m in for tackle or touch, unless JohnBai, Brayden, or Scruffy play, then just touch.

Probably a stupid question,

but what does

we organize a group for some Lookout Landing (NFL style) football…It was usually touch-football
mean?

Two hand touch to tag a receiver down, but there are offensive and defensive lineman blocking and running plays are allowed too?

by PlaySportsinSeattle on Oct 9, 2009 10:26 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Yes

Two hand touch is all that’s required. There were few actual running plays. More often it was a flea flicker play… or pitch and sweep situation, with an option to pass if the play busts. Maybe a reverse if you have a guy that’s faster than anyone else on the field. There were never any straight “up the gut” running plays. Blocking was never that physical.

Also: WWBaker says he wants to play. As does Jimmimoose.

by johnbai on Oct 9, 2009 10:55 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

And

No one was actually relegated to being a lineman.
There was a quarterback, and everyone else was an eligible receiver.
There was no rushing the QB until a 5 Alligator count.
And the quarterback couldn’t run the ball until he’d been rushed by someone.

Also:

There was one 1st down marker at midfield. That’s the only first down you can get.

It works on a full field

and that completion has to be more then 5 yards.

But then again I normally play full tackle with full lines.

by katal on Oct 9, 2009 12:45 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

What's soft tackle? If you have a guy wrapped up and he's still slowly moving the pile, it's a tackle?

I’m down for it, but
A) Brayden is built like John Brockman
B) I’m not worried about being tackled per se, I’m worried about having to help tackle Brayden/Bai/Scruffy. If Ray Lewis tried to tackle me, I could just QB slide or run OB, but if Mike Alstott is running in the open field, it’s going to hurt just attempting to tackle him.
C) In the off chance he sprains an ankle, I wouldn’t want Brayden to get hurt since he is a pro athlete.
D) I’m probably smaller than katal.

Soft tackle is basically if you're wrapped up

just go down, don’t cause to much of a ruckus. And that makes the act of tackling turn into just ‘softly’ wrap the guy up.
I weigh 130lbs and I play like this with people much bigger then me fairly often. No one ever gets hurt.

Right now

we’re looking at almost 20 folks coming. That is a monster game. Once you get past 5 vs. 5… it almost becomes too cluttered. It certainly gets very hard as a QB to figure out who to throw to. Maybe everyone should bring a white shirt and a dark colored shirt… and once teams are established we can wear the appropriate colors to help keep things straight.

Either that, or we could actually split into two games of 5 vs. 5 instead of one giant game. That way everyone gets the ball more. And it’s a lot easier to run an actual route when there are only four receivers. Once you get nine receivers, it just turns into “run around til you get open and hopefully the QB will notice.” Splitting into two games also offers the advantage of letting us split up the athletes from the mathletes… ensuring that no one is grossly overmatched. Downside is that not everyone will witness the glory of a Robert butt catch that way.

Lastly, has anyone checked if the field is reserved for soccer that day? Should we publish the address of the Seattle U field as a back up plan?

Heavens no!

In fact, allow me to tell you an anecdote about what just happened to me:

I logged onto Lookout Landing and saw that the FootbaLL thread had one new entry. I immediately assumed that the new comment was going to be someone complaining that the weather is lousy, and so they don’t want to play. This assumption made me angry.

I’m glad to know I was wrong. I’ve had flu-like symptoms all week, and I’ll be binging tomorrow morning before the Seahawks game. The perfect antidote is playing football this afternoon. Can’t wait.

So its one o'clock, and the field is busy.

I just saw some soccer girls start up a game. Also none of you were in sight. I’m going to head back over there ( I ran to the Seattle Central computer lab) and hopefully ya’ll will be there! Be obvious too! Lots of jumping is preferable.

Wonderful!

It’s on someone else to organize the next game, but I look forward to making it.

Thanks everyone

I had a great time. And had more fun once I slipped and got completely soaked/muddy and stopped worrying about getting soaked/muddy.

JamMaster, you were a worthy adversary at QB. I tip my hat to your team and their hurry-up offense.

Your 5-4 victory felt more like a beat down than a nailbiter.

Looking forward to another game. Cheers to Katal for organizing!

Glad y'all had fun

Sorry I couldn’t make it, but that was no weather to have a camera out in… :/ Also, that whole not-waking-up-until-11 and needing to study thing….

That whole walking thing kind of hurts.

No kidding

But it hurts so good.

Yes.

I think every single muscle in my body is sore. The back of my head still fucking hurts too. Stupid slick field. >:(

I'm positive I pulled a muscle on the front of my right leg

I can hardly climb the 3 flights of stairs to get up to my apartment. Also, all the rest of my legs are sore and my upper back/shoulders want me to give up on the rest of my day. Just holy cow ouch everywhere.

So when is the next game?

I guess we think differently.

I’m sore from my shoulders to my knees, and my shins and neck are also sore, but I think we should’ve played tackle. If I’m going to be this sore, how much more sore can I get?

Hopefully next time the field won’t be so wet too. Too hard to cut.

I want to play tackle, despite the fact that even today there is still some lingering soreness.

Really though, I’m just excited for the next time we play, whenever that is.

We should play tackle if we can secure some turf.

Grass is another story…

Anyway. How about Next Saturday or the Sunday after Halloween? Anybody have any opinion on when we should play next?

FILE - In this July 19, 2009 file photo, Seattle Mariners' Erik Bedard pitches against the Cleveland Indians in the second inning of a baseball game in Cleveland. Bedard is having another surgery on his throwing shoulder, all but ending his season and perhaps his time with Seattle. Manager Don Wakamatsu said Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2009, that Bedard will have exploratory surgery on Friday in Los Angeles with Dr. Lewis Yocum, who removed a cyst from Bedard's shoulder in September.
