\"3stars\"<\/a><\/p>\n

THIRD STAR<\/strong>
\nNYC Parks Department Staff<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Thanks!\"<\/a>

Thanks!<\/p><\/div>\n

Upon arriving to the courts late Sunday morning a deflating discovery was made in the southeast corner of the East Court. Stacks and stacks and stacks of guardrails used the previous day for the annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade<\/a> were piled up threatening to delay the start of the scrimmages. Reluctantly, I dragged my half-dead ass over to the spot to assess the workload, put down my backpack, opened the gate and began to move them one by one. After barely making a dent, the ladies of the Park Dept. came to the rescue by calling in reinforcements (motley crew that hangs on the benches) and had them moved in no time. Allowing the Gut Rot\/Mathematics\/Mega Touch\/Instant Karma scrimmage to commence as scheduled. Thanks NYC Parks Department!<\/p>\n

What is it about that corner? It seems to be our version of Waco, TX. Possessing just about anyone that ventures into it\u2019s space to do strange things like smash bottles<\/a>, disburse party favors, use it as an outhouse and sometimes a temporary storage space. Perhaps that’s why all refs avoid it like the plague (can you image the calls?).<\/p>\n

SECOND STAR<\/strong>
\nAmber and Ryann of the REEEEHHHAAAABBBBSSSS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"amber-and-ryann\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Rehabs cycle through women like Johnny Rehab<\/a> cycles through women. Early last week Welch and Showtime cast their weekly wide net to this year\u2019s Lady Rehabs inquiring about their availability, \u2018Come on, baby. Just give me one more Sunday. Xoxoxo \u2013 Johnny.\u2019 With a role of their eyes and a shrug of their shoulders Amber and Ryann were the only two that answered his text. (To be fair, Sena was in Japan.) Both played back-to-back games without a sub and delivered championship worthy performances. Ryann swiftly handed out dimes with stealth and swagger on offense. And Amber put in Sena-esque defensive work by dishing out pain, jumping up in the play and shutting down the opposition\u2019s offensive flow. Well done!<\/p>\n

\"Somebody<\/a>

Somebody get Amber a Snickers! Ryann’s bruised leg is not a snack.<\/p><\/div>\n

FIRST STAR<\/strong>
\nDiana and Sam, Hosts of the Awards Ceremony<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"pre-award-shots\"<\/a>

Pre-award shots to calm those nerves.<\/p><\/div>\n

These two were phenomenal on Sunday night. Delivering a crowd-pleasing performance that had something for everyone in attendance. There was comedy (Diana), drama (bumptious acceptance speeches), controversy (Longwell), tasteful nudity (Sam) and even horror (French Rich). It\u2019s not easy to entertain you cynical bastards<\/del> glorious people, whether it\u2019s writing for the smoldering inferno<\/a> that it is the BTSH website or getting up on stage in front of your peers. Being judged can be a scary thing but Diana and Sam fear no hecklers and were able to pull it off with the type of charm and charisma that have earned them the right to host next year. (Suckers!)<\/p>\n

\"French<\/a>

French Rich<\/p><\/div>\n

But don\u2019t just take my word for it:<\/p>\n

\"cat-and-nicole\"<\/a>

\u2018Their witty banter and improvisation was thrilling. We can\u2019t wait to come back next year!\u2019 \u2013 Cat and Nicole.<\/p><\/div>\n

Honorable Mentions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each BTSHer<\/strong> that threw on some goalie pads and jumped in the cage for scrimmages. \u00a0Even that Herr brother who warmed up in Timmy’s gear. (Side note: it appears that the Herr’s are this generations’ Norris 2.0.)<\/p>\n

The bartenders and staff at Parkside Lounge<\/strong> that tolerated our unruly behavior and kept feeding us more liquids despite it. \u00a0(Thanks for handing out those drink tickets, Scoops!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
