Played flag football this past Saturday on a team a friend of mine is developing modeled after the Steelers. Wow. Have not had that much fun in a LONG time. We beat a Cowboys fan, and modeled, team 28-21. That was such a sweet victory as we drew a lot of attention and spectators in our Steelers jerseys and them in their Cowboys jerseys (as well as Oklahoma City being basically a Dallas Cowboys "satellite" town).
I had an old $40 Steelers jersey (Lynn Swann) that I wore for the game and me being somewhat fast (at least in past years, lol) played WR.
But the best part about it is that it's the perfect way to get and stay in shape (I'm STILL sore from all the running around that day... at "full" speed), and an excellent way to have fun and do a kool activity with the family and friends. But if your goal (and potential teammates) is to get healthy and stay in shape, I "GUARANTEE" this will get you there when you combine an hour of practice every other day and then game day.

Other things I like about it:
- Both men and women can play. We have a "really" hot girl on our team which in
turn draws other women (and of course men) as spectators and peaks their
interest in playing as well.

- As I said, you can form a team or join one.

- Their are adult, children, adult and children teams and leagues.

- Very inexpensive to set up.

- You attract kool interest and sponsors (like even ESPN).

Wish I had pics from the game this past weekend, but I just heard about it on the fly that same day and were still settin up.

was on a flag football team for a short time we played at the inside sports arena in pittsburgh. I hated it the rules were stupid and half of the players were guys that played for the semi pro league football teams that play at p.i.s.a. So not only did the rules and format suck my players/friends couldnt get open for me to throw the ball because we had semi pros runnin around and shakin the shit out of everyone.... One of my least favorite sporting activities.... Sorry empire.

I played on a co-ed flag football team here at my university a few years ago. The girls either didn't show up or just stood there and didn't run the routes we told them to, etc...

I no longer play flag football...

Well Can I be Maurkice Pouncey then? This is me in my league its very competitive, PHYSICAL, and it has sub divisions for players that dont have the true skills of that of Semi Pros. I play with my Team the Bravehearts, who if you ask me were modeled after the Steelers. We run the ball (Which is very hard in Flag), we have a smart QB who can throw lasers, we have a Great Front 5 (8 man Flag) and our secondary SUCKS lmao, Except for our one safety who is very athletic but sometimes too aggressive. BUt yeah I wish I can change the name of our team to the Steelers. And on top of that were a very classy team who doesnt talk trash and we line up and play. Well heres my highlight on one of our Screen passes. Im the Left Tackle who gets out and makes the big block.
