For those of us who play recreational sports, we all know that there is always that guy who is WAY TOO competitive and overly into the game. You all know who I’m talking about, that guy who slides head first into first base in his slow pitch softball league, or that guy in the basketball league who comes geared up in James Worthy goggles and a headband with armbands to match, or worst of all, the guy who is about 75-100lbs. overweight and decides that he should run triathalons… to that guy: Wearing tight lycra will not make you faster or more in shape.

Anyways, my point is that there are guys like this in every sport we play, and more than anything, they are annoying! They’re usually the ones who talk during the entire game and never make a single play that helps their team out. They continue their loud annoying banter through 9 innings of dead terrible adult league softball, they talk trash on the court about how they are the next Jordan and for some reason, they still think, at 47 years old, that the reason that they aren’t in the big leagues is because of a high school coach who didn’t give them enough playing time and ruined their career.

There is nothing better than putting these people in their place! So after destroying these guys on the scoreboard, grab a You’re Welcome card on the way to the parking lot and slip it under the windshield wiper of “Mr. Big Time”, and jott a little note down on the back… something like this usually does the trick:

• The free basketball clinic has concluded. You suck. You’re Welcome.
• I struck you out 5 times… in slow pitch… You’re Welcome.
• I lapped you twice… in a 1 lap race… You’re Welcome.

You get the idea, have fun with it.
