Me Retouch You Long Time.

Some of you may know that I play on a touch football team (elegantly named "Me Touch You Longer Time") with some friends and co-workers. One of our players, Meghan, has been out for most of the year with a broken collarbone suffered in our first game. When someone suggested that she bring a poster to root us on in this weekend's playoff games, my desire to show off my amateur Photoshop skills went into overdrive. If only our team color this season wasn't burgundy/maroon. Oh well.

Here are the posters I came up with.

Movie: Brian's Song
MTYLT Version: Belmore's Song


QB Chris Belmore and WR Friday Mathews, Jr. step in for James Caan and Billy Dee Williams in this tear-jerker about life, death, friendship, bad 70's haaircuts and beer pong.

Movie: Rudy
MTYLT Version: Beefy


Muscle-bound TE Joe Rockhill steps into the famous shoes of Sean Astin as the kid no one ever gave a chance. Joe defies the naysayers, defies the odds, and defies good fashion sense by wearing ugly socks. Oh, and he loves the nick name "Beefy."

Movie: Invincible
MTYLT Version: Invincible


Honestly, there's no way that Mark Wahlberg is more invincible than our own Meghan Norris. Marky Mark doesn't have 8 screws in his left shoulder. That's what makes this the feel-good story of the year. Well, everything is a feel-good story after 4 percocet.

Movie: Any Given Sunday
MTYLT Version: Any Given Sunday (or Saturday)


An ensemble cast of Al Pacino, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid, LL Cool J, Jamie Foxx and James Woods gets benched in favor of Michael Tsang, Rachel Krouse, Chris Belmore, Troy Bell, Larry Kirschner and Thom Chorlton. Can an old school nutbar like Tsang use his handsome smile to convince these guys to leave it all on the field? Or at least convince someone to hang out and ref the second game?

Stuff like this is a lot of fun. And it's easy. All you need is access to movie posters from the Internet, photos of your friends stolen from Facebook, and the ability to completely disregard doing actual work for an entire day. Enjoy!
