Fun fact: I kind of love Football Gameplan. I mean, yeah, it would be nice if this page had content and working links (or was at all remotely accurate) but to be fair, most of the other pages on that site have similar issues so at least it’s somewhat uniformly underdeveloped. But that’s not really the point; the point is their youtube videos, which combine low-budget graphics and a cheesy sports-drama soundtrack with actual intelligent football analysis for a whole lot of leagues, including the IWFL. Like it was a real game and everything! I know! Wacky, right??
Now, this part is totally not the fault of Football Gameplan[ref]who I actually am trying to write a positive post about, I swear[/ref] but it makes me sad that the bar is set so low in this arena that any interview or article that doesn’t preface “football” with “women’s” in every single instance of the word feels like a friggin’ gift from God. (This is why the Militia Cheerleader cannot ever allow herself to be interviewed. It would just end up like this: “So how did you get interested women’s football?” “Dunno. How did you get interested in men’s sportscasting?”)
But beyond the fact that its mere existence is enough to make me happy, that Emory Hunt guy cracks me up. Dude, who proclaims themselves to be “the Czar of the Playbook”? THAT guy! Which is awesome. As is this, for the most part:
So yeah, he’s clearly not Czar of the Roster: I’m not sure why he talks about Cahill (#7/QB) while showing a photo of someone who – to my knowledge – hasn’t played on the team since 2008, and I’m quite sure that he effed up the consonant at the end of #28’s name, but you know what? I’ll totally take that over a 100% technically accurate piece that lacks any amount of actual respect for the game and the players. Seriously.
Plus, he picked Boston. What can I say? The man knows his women’s football.
Boy did he butcher Stacey’s LastName….smh…I like his Game prediction outcome though.
