Call It Like You See It

So we love that BAD! finally got real refs this season that know how to call a game (yeah we are talking about you hippy chick from last season that would have rather been picking daisies than calling Kelly out for high throws). They may look familiar because they played in previous seasons, but due to various injuiries still get their fix of the Tony Dapolito gym every Monday by reffing games. Between Craig, Benji, Sam, Nick the Fireman, and Dykey Mikey, we have to say quite the attractive bunch of people giving out red cards. So the question is which ref do YOU wish would blow your whistle for stepping over the line? xoxo

Cock Bloc-ed

Last nights tournament was insane. Tempers flared, bullets were dodged, but only one team had the hopes of becoming the winners of America's Next Flop Model. Oh who are we kidding? Eastern Bloc took it down last night defeating the fiery Splash team, first placers Gym Bar, the underdogs Duplex, and one helluva showdown with XES (who really brought their A game last night with Osada kicking some serious ass). They played four games straight and boy were they a hot sweaty mess by the end of it all. We are happy Monica kept her angry face on througout the night, we wouldn't want to see her leave home without it.

We saw some amazing playing by everyone in the league, and to see the 7th and 8th placed teams in the league as the last teams standing for the final showdown was quite the surprise. Nonetheless, Eastern Bloc came out on top, XES took a well earned 2nd place, and Pieces took third place for the night. We are happy everyone was on their best behavior (we saw Benji giving the "good sportsmanship" talk before every game, and we mean every game) and that people came to win! We know some teams may have been Cock Bloc-ed last night, but let's hope that only happens on the court. xoxo

Truth or Gay?

How did those dodgeballers end up at a (gasp!) straight bar for their usually pretty gay after parties? That's right the league headed uptown to 123 Burger, Shot, Beer ($2 shots and $3 beers may have helped this cause) and discovered it was straight and there were no hats allowed. What kind of bar doesn't let people where hats, isn't this a free country? Drinks were flowing, and those newbies were flirting shamelessly with the vets, and trust us they didn't mind.

We saw Weeks, Sanchez, Benji, Sergio, and Osada with an interesting mix of newbies pounding shots. While this wouldn't usually raise a red flag, we noticed several of them blushing and getting quite friendly with each other. We can only hope it was a nice game of truth or dare, how very 8th grade of them. Sadly there was no flip cup, but we did see a lot of flirting which is always nice, and by the time midnight rolled around and the burger sliders were being burped up we saw people started getting a little frisky. Although we did come to the conclusion that we think Kelly finally got his wish for his choice of a straight bar after dodgeball and who knew the drinks would be cheaper? xoxo

Party Crashing: Jew-topia

Two of our favorite hairy dodgeballers are hosting a party tonight, and there is free manischewitz? Consider us converted. xoxo

America's Next Top Model

We spotted a familiar face in Next Magazine this weekend. Joe Oppedisano rounded up a cast of gods and monsters for a fetish fashion shoot, and we couldn't help but notice one of the models was Benji! While we know Tyra taught him to smile with his eyes, Benji totally surprised us with his inner Heidi Klum. We had no idea there was a model behind the mustache. xoxo

Le Cage Aux Follies

Who watches the dodgeballers? We do obviously, and boy did we watch a lot happen on the first night of season 4 on Monday. A lot of teams are really good, and a lot of newbies are really cute! While some have already started getting acquainted, most of them came ready to play (with each other).

Stonewall took the night winning all 6 games, with Gym Bar, Caraway & Sciacca, and Eastern Bloc hot on their tails. Can we also say we are loving the names of teams this year. We are curious, what is your favorite team name though? Comment away!

While we headed over to Henrietta Hudson's for the after-party we nearly squealed when we saw a table full of pizzas. The fat girl inside of us completely indulged, and we were happy to oblige her. Over on the flip cup table, things started getting a little frisky (par for the course). We saw some forced kisses, and some who took it to a whole new level. We gotta give Zack and Vat props for properly ruling the table, and for showing some much needed skin!

We kinda love that someone thought it would be fun to squeeze as many dodgeballers in the cage as possible. We aren't sure exactly how many fit in, or where some people's hands were wandering, but it sure made for great bar fodder. It was after this that we start to see some unneccessary arm touches and long gazing stares happen, and we knew some people were getting lucky.

We did see some tape on Craig's finger at the bar and it looks like he may have been injured on the court. Shocking we know. We hope he didn't get it from what looks like a bar fight with Benji, who we are convinced looks like a 70's porn star with that handlebar mustache. We also must compliment Natalie, a cute newbie, who stayed on the flip cup table and dominated! Niki you may have some stiff competition this year.

As the night winded down he saw our usual cast of characters make their exits, tricks in tow. Surprisingly a lot of newbies have gone home with other newbies. Apparently the veterans may be old news, or just plain old. Whatever the case, we are sure all of that will change next week. xoxo

Project Dodgeball

In dodgeball fashion sometimes you are in, and other times you are out, welcome to Project Dodgeball.

For your first challange you must create a look properly excuting high fashion mixed with a sporty vibe. Think Paris Fashion Week Spring '09 meets Nike Couture. It must not only be visually pleasing to the eye, but also timeless. I repeat it must be wearable, and make you look like hot sex on a platter. You will have one week to complete your look. Auf Wiedersehen.

Rachna is looking simply divine in her early 80's inspired look. She is giving us total Jennifer Beals circa Flashdance. We love that she has matched her bra, shirt, and shorts accordingly, but Michael Kors may say she is too matchy matchy...

Weeks has a signature look that he began to hone last season, but has perfected this season to a tee. He has cut off about 50% of his shirt (mainly the left and right sides) revealing those broad shoulders and big guns. We also love that it's low cut enough to give us a peek at his six pack and what our trainer calls corset muscles, but we call penis holsters. We'd suggest pairing this with a pair of short black shorts. Timeless, wearable, and sexy! We approve.

Benji is going green this season and not only using the materials for his shirt, but he also made a headband out of it. How fashion foward! He has cut his shirt into a halter top/tank top with the back braided down to show off his svelte figure. He has recycled the materials that didn't make the final look and used it to make a headband/bandana. In these financially unstable times, and impending recession on our tails, we like that he didn't let one scrap of hot pink go to waste.

Also we have given props were prop are deserved. We are in love with the orange designs on the white Logo shirts. It's innovative, futuristic, and hella cool. We also love that each shirt is different giving everyone their own individual flair! Tim Gunn would be proud.

Lastly we have what can only be described as a classic look. Several boys have cut off of the arms of their shirts to accent their big arms while also airing themselves out simulataneously while playing an intense game of dodgeball. It keeps you cool and makes you look sexy while doing so. We must give props to Fred (center of picture) who took it one step further and cut the neck of the shirt into a low cut V (how very American Apparel of him) thus giving us a bigger peek of that beefcake frame.

Yes Norman, we know. We would scream too if we saw only boring gray shirts at the Tony Dapolito Center. Good thing those dodgeballers are totally fashion foward. xoxo.

Balls, B*tchiness and Bawdiness

Though there were some fashion snafus (team Logo shirts were white, not orange – GASP!), we managed to get through the evening with minimal ref bitchiness (*cough* Benji), and on-the-court drama (*cough* RJ charging the opposing team). But let’s focus on the positive – we HAVE tees-shirts. Yay!

A ball-catching pit bull with lipstick (affectionately), Vanessa V. single-handedly took out the entire MasterBeat team. And hats off to Jeff S. for A). being the last man standing in each of his Gym Bar games, and B). buying everyone within a five-foot radius of him a drink at G Lounge.

Also, we heard a comment about Splash being "the most handsome team" in the league. Well, it *is* kind of hard to disagree. Pun intended.
