Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 28, 2016

Does she have to wear cookie cutters?

In all reality , P3 from the look on Heather’s face à concussion protecol might be required . Of course this being Milford the coaches will conclude Heather might have gotten her bell wrung .

P1, Dad, I’m playing for Milford! What’s up with you lately anyway? Jeez, yesterday you were stirring your drink with your hand and now you’ve forgotten where I go to school. You must be older than Gil.

So is reach a problem because she’s short, especially for a TE, or does she have alligator arms or maybe it’s a problem with blocking, which she’ll be doing on any running plays. Oh and coach, if she’s not the answer at TE, who do you have in mind? And even if she is, that still only gives you one TE.

Reach. Meaning can she seal the edge against bigger, stronger DE’s & LB’s. I’ll stick with my thought yesterday, clothesline.

Preposterous…R & W’s well has run dry. Wonder is Dr. Pearl is aware of this lawsuit-in-the-making.

Reach being the operative word for this storyline.

If nothing else, this certainly adds some depth and intrigue to the running shower gags routine.

Have to hurry before someone beats me to it. Gil reaches into the future and introduces the spread offense. P-3: Gil’s really critical of Hakeem’s accuracy, isn’t he?

Heather has the power of the peacock.

O line coach Steve Boone: “I’d give my left arm for a decent blocking tight end…..”

Why is Coach Kazhole pulling rank on Booney? Shouldn’t he have something to say about this?

R & W, how about a plot about deception and politics of Gil’s coaching staff?

Running clean routes is about 30 percent of a tight end’s job. The rest of the time she would be knocked on her rear end. Like others have said, this story might have made sense with Kenzie Hanley, but not this.

Not the most original thought, but again, you mean to tell me there is NOBODY on varsity that played tight end at all, De Witt played 100% of the snaps? And the JV team doesn’t have a tight end or two? So they just grab someone with NO FOOTBALL EXPERIENCE and throw them into the position? Even if she ends up moving to another spot (which seems likely due to her poor reaching I guess) it is still incredibly stupid. And speaking of incredibly stupid, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is as incredibly stupid as always.

Maybe the “reach” problem is the quarterback keeps overthrowing her. If only there was some 5th string guy who could step up…

@MUT: P-3: are you describing Heather or Eric Ebron?

Johnny Adano is the Sophomore from the JV who didn’t get a chance at Varsity Tight End. The entire group of Underclassmen are outrages and hope some will ring Heather’s bell for Adano.

I’m still rolling with the Tilden TE this week in Valley Conference Fantasy Football.

@MOP: I don’t make elaborate puns; Ellisburkes makes elaborate puns (at no extra cost). I make standard equipment puns for those who can’t handle his eco friendly eclectic puns. See the difference? He would have taken up two to three more lines per gallon.

@so many of you: Reading today’s posts, I think I slipped a Disco.

I think she should play center!
