CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

In honor of the opening weekend for the NFL last night--and because I was couldn't sleep very well last night--I thought up an ongoing analogy:

If CAA were a football team, what position would you name for everyone? For yourself? For me?

Steve will always be my Romo. The stomper, hulking, right hand of the raiders defense.

<shooraijin: *groan*>
<gypsy: ditto>

I'd probably be a wide receiver, since when someone passes the ball to me I usually run with it. That, and the fact that I don't like confrontation.

For you, Ash, I'd say coach. Seems like God would proabably have to sit as owner, otherwise I'd put you there.

Interesting analogy, btw. So, who would be quarterback? We need someone who is not affraid to take the initiative, but pass the ball to other people. That person also has to make quick judgement calls based on extensive input from the coach/owner. How about the Gyper?

I like that name. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to use it from now on. Sorry Gyp, but's it's GOTTA be done.

As for center, I'd nominate UC. Anyone wanna take a guess as to why?

Running back for me, I like being versatile

Runnimg back or LB! I love to get "Up close in persnol" with the other team! *Starts to make some grunting noises* Err, sorry I get a little over the top with foot ball...

I haven't the slightest idea, I don't really watch football unless it's Grey Cup time. The Ti-Cats haven't won a game all season this year anyways

Um, if posts were the jiggly, I have a lot of jiggly? Actually, I'm a skinny guy, though this fact has no real relevence.

Heheh. Seems I can't escape nicknames no matter where I am.

And if I knew what a center in football did, I could take a guess. Is it the same as soccer and basketball?

I'd be...

The ref!

Happenin' wardrobe (gotta love those black and white pinstripes), yells a lot, and gets to blow a whistle! Man, refs have got it made.

Heh. Not quite. The center is the guy that hikes the ball. He starts every play. Hint. Hint.

Well, based simply on football positions, if we were really going to go out and play a game, I'd like to play running back on offense, safety on defense, and I could also punt, though not kick field goals or kickoffs.

As an allegory to CAA, I'd have to say offensive line, probably offensive tackle. I'm not very flashy, but I don't mind being down in the trenches, I like to support the "main players", and I'm definitely a team player--I don't need the glory.

Hey! Look at it this way:

The chargers provide great entertainment value to those who otherwise might be tempted to take football to seriously.

So you'd want to have me yelling in your face all the time Spence? Brave little dude...but I bet it's because refs look like confused penguins, isn't it?
Just a coach? Man, I was hoping for like, right guard or something(which was my position in powderpuff--tore my ACL lig. playing that). I love football, and most of all, I love being with you guys down on the field when the going gets tough.
I think Ink's gotta have a position on defense; she's always extremely quick to defend us, verbally.
St. Peter would be our mascot (he makes us laugh) and Technomancer our cheerguy.
Gyppers would scowl and be the one with the towl on her head by the gatorade jug Well, given her experience with soccer, I nominate her for head-special teams kicker person.

I'd definitely be an LB or a D-Liner so I could try to spook the other team into a false start.

Never thought of it that way...That's a bonus!

Quaterback!!!!!!!!! (Thats the only position i know in football.. lol) But make sure to tell me if i am going the right way.... and n0t the other.. = |

Well, the quarterback is the team captain on the field, so you'd be telling us what to do.

No, no no. It was basketball that I'd end up scowling on the bench with the towel over my head. It really is amazing how a temper and five fouls mix. And what is that supposed to mean in representation to CAA? *glares*

And for a second, I thought you said - I nominate her head for teams special kicker person ... and I was like, how mean!

I have absolutley no idea. I know sqaut about football.

there is only one role i could possibly fill on the team ambulance driver, i get to speed and get called a hero

not too mention i get to have those awsome backwards letters

CHEERGUY?! How's about I take 'bookie' instead?

My knowledge of how to play football is equal to that of a mildly retarded dyslexic chimp. So, I'd say a security guard.

I'd be the waterboy. Er... water... wolf.

And if someone gets hurt I can run onto the field and lick their face until they get up.

Actually I know nothing about football as well. So, I went to the NFL site for kids and picked out the position that had the coolest job.

No, no no. It was basketball that I'd end up scowling on the bench with the towel over my head. It really is amazing how a temper and five fouls mix.

It's ok, sister, I feel your pain. One time I fouled out in the second quarter. Only two were really fouls on me though. One of them wasn't really a foul, one of them was two of the other team's players tripping each other, and the last one wasn't me, it was my teammate.

You asked for it! ^_~ Remembering from my experiences with some of you at Anime Angels...

Ashley would be the "teammate named McCloud" who goes around not letting anyone ask silly questions; all the while speaking in rhyme.

Gypsy would be in charge of the overhead projector at the beginning of the game when the national anthem plays; but while she can't get it to work then, it will suddenly come on by itself somewhere in the middle of the game.

As for myself, I'd be the one wandering around the field constantly confused about which sport we're playing.

(Well, that's it; I'm out of ideas. But honestly, now I can see myself going into "Days in the Life of CAA" as the guy who overplugs Anime Angels... )

hmmm... i know a LOT about football (i'm watching the TB v. PHI game right now) but i've never actually thought about what postion i would play...

hmmm. probably something that doesn't involve sitting still for too long. maybe a reciever. i dunno. and in relation to the part i play in CAA i have no clue...

I vote to be hurt.

Hey Gypsy if you want to be center you better like the QB.....(most QB's have a dumb way of getting the ball from the center...me thinks its an excuse to touch someones butt lol) Ami's a freak! Eh I figure I will be banned now...oh well...snicker.

Ahem. That's the last time I leave the room with my user logged in and the wolf around...
