Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 15, 2022

The Milford defender in P. 3 would probably be a better tackler if his elbow weren’t growing out of his shoulder.

Kinda late to tackle when the ball carrier is a yard or two past the pylon.

I’m just dancing past the pylon in the middle of the field,In the middle of the field,Where we were all alone

In all reality , I wish Pedro would have been shouting Beep Beep , Beep Beep, like Beep Beep the Road Runner as he blew past the Milford players. Kaz comments to Gil, Martinez was running like our guys were trying to steal his birthday card money.

P3 Professor Backwards joins the broadcast team as guest announcer to give the end of the 3rd quarter score.

P2- Pedro hits that extra gear, going to warp drive and giving the Milford defender double EES. In the stands Mimi gets a tingling sensation. Hey HooDad! Has Bitsy been held hostage?

Marty again makes sure his listeners know the jersey numbers.

Pedro runs up the middle and reaches the end zone at the sideline.

I hope VT kicks Milford’s a$$ and runs up the score

Pedro Martinez shook that tackle like he did to Don Zimmer.

Up the middle? He is at the sideline.

Tense? You bet! You can score your own deal on tents down at Al’s Camping Gear, located in Central City at the Corner of 3rd and Crowley. Hurry on in for some amazing Christmas Deals!

I have it on good authority (from Bluedarter) that Vito from Goshen is now taking action on the final score. Milford scores a touchdown with seconds left in the game and Tobias runs the Delaware T for a two-point conversion attempt. The outcome? That’s how Vito makes the big bucks. Put me down for a yard that he doesn’t make it and BHHL squeaks out the victory making him Gil’s “daddy” for a year. Unless he coaches basketball also and gets beat by Gil’s latest sophomore transfer student who is lights out from beyond the arc. You heard it here first.

One Thorp Special coming up

In P2 and P3, the vertical stripes on the sides of the VT jerseys have changed color from yellow (like the ones on the pants) to orange or whatever color the trim on the jersey is supposed to be. Henry, hurry up with that bible for the colorists.

if gil thorp was a video game it would go straight to the dollar store

The Milford players were sure stunned by Pedro’s speed in P2. They can’t even attempt to tackle him. And speaking of tackling, it’s time for you to tackle reading today’s issue of Mopped Up Thorp.
