That's correct.  On a scale of 1 to awesome i'd put Frank's
performance at a '3' and the people who tried about ten times
(unsuccessfully) to get a wave started at a '4'.

After watching Frank's warmup routine though, which as far as I could
tell consisted of alternately turfing lefty and righty airbounces, i
was prepared for a failure of far more epic proportions.  So i guess
that's... good?  He didn't cause a turnover.. but like you said he was
a total non-factor on offense.  Every throw was wobbly swill.. so I
suppose it's lucky that the allstars were better at catching than the
trees that star in his chicken wing scoober videos.  Even the much-
celebrated layout D looked like it involved a bit too much contact.
Fleming seemed to have called(?)/considered a foul call until Frank
started strutting around flapping his arms like a rabid chicken.  That
got the crowd involved and it seemed like the man decided it didn't
matter too much since he still plays on Sockeye and Frank still
sucks..

Unstoppable, though?  Hardly.  He just wasn't doing anything they
really felt compelled to stop.

If that's 'interesting' ultimate, i'll go with exciting every time.

Wait, are you still trotting out Idris' tired old video as proof of
anything?

If I wanted to, I could probably create an unauthorized video of Idris that
made him look just as bad.

That wouldn't prove anything.  However, going up to Seattle and being
unstoppable proved a lot to a lot of people.

From all I've read, apart from getting a single D-block, you were a
complete defensive liability, and a total non-factor on offense. Oh,
and your team got smoked.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what constitutes being "unstoppable" in
Frank's visionary mind.- Hide quoted text -

"Fleming seemed to have called(?)/considered a foul call..."

He considered calling the foul, or called [out] to say he was
considering calling the foul?
I love those moments when there is a 30 second pause (to let players
regain their composure) a 1 minute discussion on the what happenend, a
2 minute discussion on why the other person is not necessarily wrong,
but certainly less right than yourself, and another 30 seconds to
figure out how to restart the game.


"Frank started strutting around flapping his arms like a rabid
chicken...."
Firstly, rabies infection is limited to mammals, and chickens dont'
qualify.
Secondly, everyone knows 'flapping arms' beats 'contests/redos'.
Fleming's best chance was to throw fire, but could've gotten away with
cowboy IMO.

It seems like a lot doesn't matter in this sport. All good, play on!
