Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 15, 2016

Come on, Man – the trainer suggests that they sub Pelwicki in because he’s been practicing handoffs? Beyond the limit of believability if they go there. I hear laughter in the rain.

And the black velvet collar is a nice touch. This suit is totally you, Martha!

These days, a torrential rainstorm would mean lightning somewhere within 20 miles, in which case they would delay game an hour or more, even if the sky above became crystal clear.

There was a time when Hakeem appeared to be black. Today, not so much.

Is Hakeem throwing in P2 or trying to catch a pass, or both?

Well coach, I’ve been meaning to tell you but I can’t for the life of me remember how to hand off. We do have Moose and if we can use a bag of chips rather than a football, we can win this.

@Bruno Zeigerts: Exactly! And then, who cares? Why do we always have to be “in style”?

Hey, Halloween is coming. I’m wearing my vintage leisure suit for a costume same as Dracula always wears the same suit when he prowls.

In all reality , Don’t feel bad Gil, Brian Kelly at Note Dame called for over 30 passes during a hurricane last week which worked as well as Hakeem ’s. Moose Pelwickie will make a defensive play and win the game earning the right to QB . With the rain pouring down they just announced that Milford fans will be allowed to shower with the team on the field after the game .,

This plot, like Miflord’s offense, continues to go nowhere.

It would be a catastrophe if Coach Kaz failed to put the supply of Irish Spring & Shower to Shower in a plastic bag. To keep with yesterday’s Paul Simon theme, the Mudlarks chance for victory appears to be Slip Sliding Away.

Please keep politics out of comments. We read them to enjoy & don’t want to start any feuds

I have some clothes that are over 40 years old. The trick is to take very good care of what you have and it will last a very long time. And when the fashion was shoulder pads, I always cut them out. I have high enough shoulders as it is. Aside from that, I rarely follow fashion trends, just buy what I am comfortable in.

The Mudlarks must be made of tougher stuff to play in weather such as is being depicted here. Many schools here in NH would call off the game.

Gonna call an injury here. Backup QB will HAVE to play.

First, congrats to R&W; that actually looks like a rain storm.Hakeem, always remember put it on the outside hip, otherwise you’ll be injured in the scrum for the ball in Monday’s installment. “and it feels like raindrops, so many raindrops, it feels like raindrops falling from my eye eyes falling from my eyes”

I remember a woman doing a great routine one shoulder pad buildup. Something about turtles and football (American) players.

I hated shoulder pads and cut them out of shirts and jackets as soon as I got it home.

Actually it looks like birds are taking a giant dump on Gil. I think Gil said the same thing to Steve Boone, and we know how that turned out.

Playing in the rain was kind of fun. Getting mud out of various orifices afterwards – not so much.

And – I wear white after Labor Day!

Hakeem is doing his Garo Yepremian impression in p2.

Sounds like a line from “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

P3: Bill Belichek makes an appearance having driven past and seeing Milford had no coaches on the sidelines.

It’s almost as if this is being setup to get Moose some game action. But not in this game, there is no reason Gil would even consider him, he isn’t even aware Moose has been practicing. But this will lead to Moose begging for another shot in practice. I guarantee it. And speaking of guarantees, I guarantee you can read today’s Mopped Up Thorp by following the link below.

I have several fitted suits, but the one suit that fits me perfectly is my birthday suit… which I wear every day!

Not my wife. Hates shoulder pads, except on football players (Ravens especially). If she buys a garment with pads in it because it’s the only way she can get a particular color or style, the pads are surgically removed once she gets home (unless they’re velcroed in; then she just pulls ’em out).

P-2: Milford forfeits the game after the Ref notices the Track marks on the receiver’s arm and the Pee test comes back “Hello from Macao”.
