The Galloping Ghosts, Chad's flag football team, beat the Insurgents 14-6 in the first round of the Arlington County playoffs last night. With the game close at 7-6, one of our defenders intercepted a pass from the opposing quarterback and threw a lateral to Chad, who ran it in for a touchdown. (Isn't my football slang impressive?)
While I like to go watch, I must admit that I also love to go for my weekly socializing with the other player's wives and girlfriends. It's a fun group! And though the team is a random mix of Hill staffers, lobbyists, public affairs specialists, an insurance agent, some financial analysts, and a media buyer, they are some of our very best friends. And they love to give each other grief on the field (and off).
There was some discussion among players and those of us in the Spirit Squad on if the other team's name was a bit off-color. Consensus was that if they were a bunch of ex-military dudes then it was fine. Otherwise, it may have been slightly inappropriate.
Regardless, we beat them 14-6 and are heading into round two of the playoffs next Sunday at 4:30 where we'll play the #1-ranked team. Next week I'll bring my camera.
