Yes, Football is Played in the Rain, Folks

The Commas were all business in their preseason game against [Team to Be Named Later]. Despite a driving rain storm and some rustiness from the long off-season, Oxford jumped out to an early lead that they never relinquished, thanks to multiple touchdown performances by Brian and Gonzo (including a deep pass thrown by Jon). Shawn added a big touchdown reception of his own, along with a couple of interceptions. The defense surrendered only one score, and that was due to a phantom pass interference call after the game was out of reach for [Team to Be Named Later]. Enjoy the win, Oxford--the games count for real next week.

For our Inspirational Football Clip of the Week, I thought I would share with you a highlight of Tom Rathman, the guy for whom our bread-and-butter "fullback" play is named. I also have an uninspiring football link to share; click it if you're okay with having a part of your childhood shrivel and die inside of you.

Our lone highlight is Brian complaining about the perils of playing in the rain. Apparently, I forgot how to work my camera, too:



Onward.
