It's opening season for Thursday Chelsea Flag Football as the Game Coordinator briefs the teams on their assignments. Almost every team ultimately derives to three simple objectives: win, mingle, and drink. It will be a tough season but in return a fun and thrilling one.

The game kicks off and is under way while a speedy offensive blocker from Pumped Up Kicks (Lime) races across the field to blindside the defensive rusher. Where in Chelsea did she come from?

On another field, Pickleback Sneak (Kelly) deploys a different tactic of catching and hiding the ball from the defender as she rushes to gain some yards. An excellent tactic, but she left her flags exposed to the defender or perhaps she thought he wouldn’t notice.

After every possession and every yard gain heroes are born. They rush, side step, and pass fake into our hearts. If I were on his team I would cheer for him too!

Every team is flying and diving for every possession. It's the battle of a lifetime and this is only the season opener. Who needs war? We have flag football where all conflict ends with a victor and a plus side for everyone at the bar.
