Description
This is a channel for our Friday night football league
One of the longest running pick up games of backyard football you've probably never hear of till now. Started way back in the early 1970s by a couple of GE employees and over the years its grown into quiet the a unique way of playing football.
We play a light one hand touch game, to minimize arguments and injuries. We play with who ever can make it to the field, so regular participation is not a requirement. Sides are chosen at game time, and may be rearranged to even them out. We are there for fun, not to take each other out (except for a stop at a bar afterwards). 3 second delay rush (counting "One chimpanzee, Two ...") with some limited blocking. Any attempt to run negates the delay rush. We switch quarterbacks about every series, so everyone gets to throw. Be prepared to run a lot, it tends to be a heavy passing game. QBs call their plays. Everyone gets a chance at every position, including QB. We get creative. Double passing allowed, if first pass is behind the QB. A single first down can be obtained at mid-field. Fumbles are dead balls - and belong to offense. So there is no piling on. we aren't wearing any headgear or pads and don't want to send guys to the hospital on a stretcher every week. Tentatively our season will start on the first Friday after the first week of the regular NFL season games have started, and runs to the last Friday before Thanksgiving.
