TALLY CLASSIC: FRUSTRATED WITH TEAM’S PERFORMANCE, PLAYER BREAKS HIS OWN CLAVICLE

Sometimes in ultimate, long points with several turnovers can exhaust and especially annoy players. Veteran Justin Renzi had enough of the Floridb squad this weekend at the 11th annual Tally Classic. “Turn after turn after turn, I just couldn’t take it anymore,” Renzi said. “I made a decision.” While pretending to bid for a disc […]

ULTIMATE TERMINOLOGY: “CHILLY”

For someone new to ultimate, all of the phrases shouted at a game can be overwhelming. While most of them are words almost everyone is familiar with, it may be hard to understand the context. Today, we talk about what it means to be “chilly” on the ultimate field. Chilly (adj.): To be in a state […]

AN OPEN LETTER TO MY WISHY-WASHY TEAMMATE: CALL THAT FOUL

Dear teammate, I know you may be a very nice person off the field. I know you may be unsure at times on the field. But you need to make that call. That guy’s foot was totally out of bounds. The disc definitely hit the ground before he caught it. His hand completely hit yours […]

BREAKING DOWN THE THROWS: THE HAMMER

BREAKING: JOEL “BDJ” BUENROSTRO WILL APPEAR ON “BACHELORETTE”

Carved from the same stone King Arthur pulled Excalibur out of, Joel “BDJ” Buenrostro is by far the biggest member of Floridb Ultimate. “Letting BDJ go was the worst mistake of my life” said any girl foolish enough to do so. “I’d do anything to have him back.” It may seem like BDJ has a […]

FLORIDB PROFILE: STOAH NERLING

“No,” Stoah Nerling answers. “It didn’t hurt when I fell from heaven.” Stoah Nerling came to Floridb Ultimate the same way he has arrived anywhere in his life: with the top two buttons of his shirt undone. “No shirt can contain this body,” Stoah explained. “And no lady can contain themselves around it, either.” In […]

MEET THE CAPTAINS: BRYAN PALMER

There are lines I can fathom and lines I can’t. People waiting for a table outside Bad Saint, the tiny Filipino charmer in Columbia Heights, or Shake Shack, the downtown burger phenom from New York, know the rewards for getting through the door include food that leaves them smiling and eager to return. Other queues […]

MEET THE CAPTAINS: WILL FORD

Born from the decomposition of a hidden body in Ocala National Forest, Will Ford was six feet tall before he could count that high, which was some time during the eighth grade.
