That's Rank- Field Goal Kicking Edition

Hey sports fans, we're back.  After the smashing success of That's Rank- Croquet Edition , where if you read "no feed back" as good feed back, then you all agree with the five bong bingo it received.  Good.  Onto the next ranking. (somewhere Lewis's head just exploded.)

FIELD GOAL KICKING COMPETITION

sharted  chortled when I first heard this event bandied about as a contender.  Seriously, my sides still hurt from the vigorous yucks it evoked from my bowels.  I'm not even sure what hurts, as surely those aren't side muscles.(technical term)  Either way the thought of a field goal kicking competition was dismissed faster than white guys trying out for defensive back positions in the NFL. 

The thought of this event has now marinated in my head for the last three years.  I'm not sure what secret sauce it's marinating in (whiskey), but I'm not as dismissive of it as I initially was.  I'm not even 100% sure how we would play, only that it would surely be a distance competition.  I imagine everyone on each team gets a whack at the ball from a certain distance.  The ball is moved back 5 yards at a time and those that made it the previous round advance.  The ball keeps getting placed further away until there is one person left.  Let's stop the foreplay and jump into the pro/con list:

Pros:

  • The unintentional comedy factor is off the charts.  Guys w/ zero form, and a half a case of brew in them trying to kick a field goal seems like it's destined to end up on one of those web based clip shows. 
  • "Someone" from my team might be very good at this.
  • We should all step out of our comfort zones and challenge ourselves with something new from time to time.
  • Easy beverage consumption event
  • Should not take a tremendous amount of time
  • It gives Chris an excuse to wear steel toe

Cons:

  • It's no croquet.
  • Location logistics- it would involve another drive or a new park location unless...
  • Unassumed legal fees due to the divorce situation we would cause for Ty... if we attach some PVC pipes to the top of his house and kick over it.
    Wait...maybe this should be on pro list.
  • No impromptu hammer throws
  • I'm not putting my finger there- you know where.

FINAL RANKING:
