Killed with Kindness
In Week 3, The Greatest and Best Team in the World got their assess handed to them by The Yaks, 16-6, in what should have been a demoralizing ass-handing of epic proportions. Yet, anyone who has played The Yaks knows they are the nicest, most complimentary people in the league, which made it impossible for us to feel emotions commonly associated with losing. In fact, I have never felt so good about myself after contributing zero points en route to a blow-out loss. As a team, we were so incredibly high on life after our ass-handing that it took several attempts for Gautam to capture an obligatory agonizing defeat pose (above) that didn't feature smiles and exemplary posture.
On top of providing for us a supportive environment ideal for losing, the Yaks also finished us off in less than 30 minutes. By 7pm, the only bocce action worth documenting took place in other bocce games, which were approaching their competitive peak while our field lay in complete emptiness.
Well, onward and upward, I always say!
