Just peeped this piece in the New York Times about how Piedmont High's football team has adjusted to compensate for the fact that their entire team is like 5'6" and 145lbs with ankle weights on. They basically have relegated the concept of an offensive line to the history books and sport a line-up called the A-11 that features two quarterbacks and a GMC Safari load of eligible receivers.Its actually a pretty ingenious adjustment as it confuses the shit out of defenses. But lets be real, it's just a bit too stereotypical that the pale skinny white kids have to rewrite the entire game of football to have a fighting chance against- you know actual football teams. I'm sure it would be fun to watch, in the same way its fun to watch your son hit the ball off the batting-tee and then run through the outfield to the 7-11 in confusion.
I would still rather watch Marshawn Lynch or any other hard hitter from The Town run through that little scrawny land-locked island of wannabe Little Giants anyday. And lets be real, if Piedmont played in the OAL, their parents would be lucky they have so much money to spend on healthcare. I'm just sayin.

That's why Marshawn was my #1 fantasy draft pick. I remember that silver bowl when he just rolled us (eh hem skyline). Matter of fact, the OAL fans would probably destroy those "scrawny boys from piedmont". But I can't talk, that's why I didn't play football. My skinny ass wasn't tryna get punished.
Lol word. My dad played for Castle and ended up with a longer medical record than McCain. But yeah, we did lightweight beast on yall. Its good tho
