    UFC Double Dose Monday - Ted vs. Mike

    This is the UFC fight between two of the Greatest Rawlings has ever seen. They thought of Rawlings one night while drinking and decided to run with it. They invented it, manufactured it, marketed it, sold it, and made it the organization it is today. Text books even say that MLB actually stands for:
    M – Mike
    L – Led (they meant to write Ted, but they were drinking when they came up with the acronym)
    B – Baseball

    You guessed it, today’s battle features Mike “Gamer” Thompson and Ted “Teddy Ballgamer” Sizemore. It’s no coincidence that both of their nicknames have Gamer in the title. They invented baseball, the glove, bat, bases, the league, and everything else that has to do with baseball….even the Cool-flo helmet. They also stitched the first Rawlings Patch when Sizemore ripped a hole in his britches from sliding into second.

    Their UFC fight started while they were arguing over who gets the most chicks. Here are some other highlights from the fight:
    Thompson gives Teddy some false promises and tricks him into buying and extra cup of coffee (of which Thompson then spills in the lap of Ted)
    Ted smacks Mike in the face with his Rookie of the Year trophy
    Mike straps on his vintage boxing gloves (that he also invented) and punched Ted in the stomach, then the jaw.
    Ted yells for Kate, Barb, and Liz
    Mike pauses to shake a hand and kiss a baby
    Ted calls a timeout to take the curlers out of his hair (that he also invented) and pressed them against Mike’s face
    Mike shops on ebay for something else he invented and gives it to Ted as a gift (it was a hand grenade and it exploded in Teddy’s face…ouch)
    Ted acts like he’s talking on his phone to distract Mike and steps on his toe
    Mike loses Ted….he was up in Howard’s office
    Ted says, “Allllllriiiiight”
    Mike asks Jean to please fight off Kate, Barb, and Liz (who Ted had called for earlier….probably for backup)
    Jean does so and then stuffs cardinals tickets in their mouth
    Mike and Ted invent something else (it will come out in the year 2021….its light years ahead of its time and its patented, so don’t try and steel it)
    Ted and Mike mutually agree to stop this fighting, “we’re friends, not foes”
    They then reminisce about the time they invented Chuck Norris

    That’s pretty much how the fight went. There were a couple more sly moves by Thompson in there, but I pretty much covered it. At one point they actually did get their names mixed up and Ted signed an autograph as Ted Thompson and Mike signed an approval as Mike Sizemore……but they got it straightened out later.

    Good fight gentlemen (they also invented fighting and the UFC)

    The winner of this battle is Ted “ROY” Sizemore. Ted wins 20 to 13 over Thompson. He was later quoted by Sports Illustrated (which he also invented) saying, “Alllllriiiiiight.” Cool, very, very cool. Mike vowed to get that shelf space back with an incentive plan at their next meeting.

    Today’s fight features #7 John “Heeeeere’s Johnny” Parish vs #10 Becky “Two turntables and a microphone” Shaw. Send your vote to rawlingsufc@hotmail.com

    Ted says, “Do the cool thing. Don't play with fire” and then gives a thumbs up….
