Learning to Cradle Balls - Nerdsports Episode 2

Welcome to Nerd Sports, where America's IT pros, the keyboard warriors, yeah, yeah, thanks guys, take on the Langley Thunder, a lacrosse team, the people who really know what they're doing in any sport. which this stick is used for, so come with us. Hopefully we don't get hurt too much and if we do, you guys at least enjoy watching it. What do you think, ho, who dies? I've literally never seen lacrosse before in my life, I've never seen it, no, this is the first time, yeah, I know, do it. things you have to do to make it clear that just because the athletes are from sports replays doesn't mean they are second hand, right, no, there are no instructions, just plug it in, ready to put on the jersey and then the equipment and then .

This is why it's so big, let's try that again, you need more room, come on, I mean, this is why they have those, tell me everything you know about the stick you have to catch the bow like that, uh, I don't I know a lot about lacrosse, but I think I'm going to do a great job today because I'm here and I'm ready to play. I saw them playing there, they've been fighting so they don't hit me. m Brandon Fitzgerald I'm 6 feet tall 205 lbs Parker Willis I'm 63 225 I'm a defender I hit people, I play rough, I just try to hit the body and when I can get the ball and get up off the floor I would be careful. with the brothers coming at me, they could do that when I was studying the rules, at least I came out with what I think are the right questions, you know, can we bounce the ball?

How do the passes work? While I have teammates who ask. How do I eat with the helmet? As I do? I'm good at getting things done, which is what I'm going to do today because I'm our netminder, so my glasses don't fit inside. the helmet, so I got some old pairs of glasses, broke them up and taped them to the helmet and it works incredibly well. I'm very excited, guys, I'm very excited. I feel like I'm going to kick a lot of ass. Do this with him I don't know why Can I put it in? Do I like to put it here?

I don't have a stick. Do you think they have an extra stick? Come on guys, so I managed to borrow a stick. nice to us so they're being nice before they kill us which is great so I probably have a better stick but I can't use it for the game. I only use it now these guys are even bigger than the volleyball girls from last time I expected them to be taller and we don't have that separation but they aren't tall because they don't need to be so we have some people taller than them , that's not an advantage in this.

The game doesn't try to take any light opponents, but I think it will be an easy 256 win and that's just a number of someone who isn't very good and can't pass or catch. I don't even think I can do a double pass, so it's pretty fun just watching. I haven't seen this Lacrosse bat since Mini Ty, are you afraid it will hurt a little? Okay folks, welcome back to the Langley Events Center, where tonight the keyboard warriors will go head to head. Langley Junior is a thunder and I'm Tyler Dy. Brent Cross is with me. What are you thinking tonight?

I haven't seen much athleticism from the keyboard and warm-up Warriors, so I'm not expecting too much from the game. Unfortunately, I feel like that will be one of the biggest compliments this team will receive tonight. The game was a little delayed. Type for a goalkeeper change. I don't understand it at all. I would have stayed with Amera, there would have been, uh, I think it would have been fine, it's not a good idea to try to play goalie when you have a fever, it's just super trashed out there and on that note here we go, we're about to have the face here, yeah, and we're on the go Taran seems lost out there, catch him, catch him, catch him, someone, catch him, it's going to be, uh, how many times Thunder Miss compared to how many times Lus stops them, it's interesting that they let let Dennis's Hung take these faces. offs, come on Dennis, no, this is going south fast for the keyboard.

The Warriors look at the way Dennis hangs, runs, looks like he's not even totally sure he has feet. Conor campy here, at the top of the key, shit, oh oh, dirty around the back goal. He dialed back and it looks like the Warriors keyboard took a while? You saved something yes, good job, I almost scored a goal, Nick, you ran up to the net. Did you do something that's not really right? I suggest that these guys are much happier than they should be like this. I'm trying to figure out what they can do to hurt this team, short of killing them, that will put them in this game.

I got a B, you didn't get a goal, no, I mean. I took it back oh he left you but he did it but don't tell me okay pirate patches. Hopefully you can ruin his depth perception. It looks like they are putting eye patches on the Thunder players. I still don't see how this helps. too much confrontation again Taran to face him against the Thunder Porter wins the confrontation you can't do difficult things, well yeah, it changes the game a lot, you can't really know where the ball is and here comes the Thunder again on top of the key, oh the sorry, oh, you never know, maybe it was the patch director that they missed the one on the long side, they have to be aggressive, oh, more cautious, with the stick active and he's leading an OD man, he runs towards the other side, oh, stiff arms, a thunder player. but he fumbles the ball because again he doesn't know how to

cradle

it, he really took some spark there when he got the ball, maybe the play is getting him out of defense and keeping him in front, keyboard warriors on one end and then gas. so he makes the decision and puts it in the top corner, playing it around Conor Campbell, the top of the key comes in and obviously buries one.

You're going to have to start seriously hurting these people if you want this to be some kind of game. Can we take a break? ​​I'm tired and I'm just online. Let's try to recover the handicap and look at the stiff arm in the replay. Here the reader seems like an athlete, he is not. Too bad he's mean about the whole thing. I'm waiting for him to get it up there so I can do my thing and score. I can not do it. I don't have it in me. I can't catch the ball. You are the star player Dennis is hanging and it looks like he might be fighting there Dennis is the song is definitely messed up do you think this is an act?

I can't imagine he's that tired I think this time the note was very necessary Dennis hung The quote that goes into the game or his little bio about himself is: I played once in high school physical education class . It was horrible. I still do not understand. I don't think I caught a ball back then. I hate him so much, he's never interesting. played hardly seen any said Taran afraid of the

balls

flying into my face they keep passing by and there are a million of them unfortunately those are the quotes directly from them okay guys you have to put this on your sticks to even things out a little more The Thunder have accepted the challenge of playing with pool noodles.

I think they are called what they are called. Sorry, I'm not a big fan of water sports equipment. Darren is going to come in to take his face off again. It's an interesting move. I feel that goal. Still, I'd rather be on his couch at home than what he's doing on the other end right now. Oh, and a big save from Lus in the top left. Oh, he just reveals it and they run into Taran and the Money Man, Nick. I just can't see the ball directly, oh shit, it looked like they were going to get out of the Zone, unfortunately the fer panicked and ran very little and man coverage from the Warriors keyboard at this point, oh yeah Colton sticks out from H, check that. in most leagues that's a bit of a penalty, we call that interference, what a shot, what are you three guys doing on defense right now?

I worked so hard for a while, if ever we can't lose so bad, like I know we're keyboard warriors and all that, but still, they literally don't move, they fall into our strategy, well, we don't really have any hang-ups. The strategies are: you have to try to move while holding them between your legs, also, you are not playing with these. It seems like every Thunder has balloons in their left hand now to add to the eye patch, the pool noodles, the DodgeBall between the legs. and obviously now the lobs and the faceoff have been won by Nick Moneyman runs down the court without cradling, cuts and a very weak backhand shot floats next to the net.

Damn it, Nick Teran, don't be afraid of him, he can't move. the line is barking orders from behind incredible incredible they couldn't find that loose ball Luc lefr is going to take possession as he jumps towards the Zone a hand on the stick decides J runs towards the goal shortly because I have no idea what I was thinking, yeah, a colossal mess, players standing still, no one moving, no stick movement, no foot movement, nothing, I really don't know how they expect to score at this point and a small floater on the neck for Zack Wicked, who easily chests in .

Here, seeing this, it seems that it is not a disaster, come on Luke, can you guys do well next? The point wins oh you, Dennis, you're okay, oh, Dennis, you're okay. Dennis is hanging trying to pick up the ball, my God, he picks up some good wide open. on this end is G Brown, looking like he's probably going to bury one and if he does, that might be it, and he manages to keep the ball between his legs, the balloon in his hand, wearing an eyepatch and a floaty pool on the stick, we lost, yes, and I would be quite embarrassed if I were left alone with that mark, well, it seems to me that maybe they called it in that last goal with the final score at something like 13 or 14, nothing, eh , meanwhile.

That was another one in the books for the Keyboard Warriors. Any final thoughts from you Brent, well I hope there's a little bit closer game in terms of the level of competition when they play dodgeball next time, that's wearing this field out. It's huge. I almost scored a goal. Once you remember it was amazing. Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed in the team. I'm glad I'm not the captain. I think Liu could have done a much better job being a goalie, he's actually more fun than he thought, at least I get a chance to touch the ball, that sounds weird.

At no point did I think we were going to score a goal and at no point did we score a goal, so there "You really want to get this out of this like a steam room. Can you hear that? Alright, big thanks to the Langley Thunder Junior , a lacrosse team. Sorry we couldn't literally score anything against them, but we tried and maybe next time." In fact, I'll win one, yeah, anyway, tune in next time for more nerdy sports.
