Most Memorable Moments in Flag Football: Tim Brannan, our deceased team captain, sponsor, bon vivant and raconteur, was our center and true soul of the team, in much the same way as Frank Culotta, team organizer, defensive lineman, USFTL HOF Member, had been our beating heart. Frank’s constant exhortations for discipline, timing, practice, emphasis, and focus were constantly met with equally persistent retorts, practical jokes, booby traps, and flagrant disregard for the conventional norms of football preparation and practice by Tim.
True to form, while Tim had faithfully promised Frank to report early to a much anticipated, heated match with a cross-town rival WILDWOOD AC, kick-off found Tim just arriving and cavorting across the field dash perhaps skipping would be a better description- wearing an over-large sombrero, with a narrow floor rug draped across his shoulder to his hip, and a day-long stogie squished in his mouth, loudly announcing the arrival of the “MEXICAN BANDITO!”
All predictably, Frank erupted, Timmy giggled and the Wilken’s House easily won that day.
