Since the Gibbs vs. Califf thread has long since become laughable, let's set up a more even match. Both are immobile! Both are unathletic! Both read the game at a U-12 level! One will pull shirts, and foul incessantly. One will stand in place until moved by a team mate. This is a true quandry... Who will win THIS challenge?
the orange traffic cone has a reputation of being quite resiliant, as he has taken out more than a few Geo Metros in his time.
I would have voted for the cone, but he is prone to getting red-carded. I know he has "fouled" Guevara quite a few times.
A difficult one, but I'd rather play the Corner flag. Put him to mark Hejduk. Especially when Earnie Stewart takes a corner..I swear the Corner flag plays some of the best Defense on Set Pieces I've ever seen. But Califf has to be voted he's the "Hejduk stopper"
Half the time I see OTC, he's stopped a phone company or Comcast van in its tracks and is staring it down. He is one tough mutha. Califf is (marginally) more agile, though. OTOH, if Califf does a WWF makeover and becomes The Caliph (with 1930s Hollywood flowing silk robes, turban, and huge--probably plastic--scimitar) then OTC will probably fall over in hysterics. Hey, it's a strategy. But the biggest thing OTC has going for him is, of course, being orange.
In early returns, Califf is down only ~85% to 15% to The Orange Traffic Cone, while he's down ~91% to 9% to Gibbs!! Could this signal the capping of The Orange Traffic Cone? Is OTC the new Heir Apparent to Jeff Agoos [Immobile Defender Position] on the National Team, supplanting Califf? Stay tuned...
Can't believe "DutchFootballRulez" voted against the orange cone - which we can only assume plays "total football."
Hey you're all overlooking the obvious reason why the cone is better. It can nip at players ankles as they go by, oh wait thats all Califf does.
I'd have to go with OTC. Apparently he may have come up from a U-12 level...... http://animation.filmtv.ucla.edu/students/awinfrey/coneindex.htm ...I practiced with a couple of OTCs last week. They're a tough bunch.
I have a buddy who sounds like this... ..and he would not admit that the dutch play the best football if you paid him. He also thinks the MLS is one of the top 10 leagues in the world...hah.
Wow! Califf has SURGED to take 24% of the vote!! Perhaps his candidacy for the position of Immobile Defender is not dead yet!! On the other hand, the Orange Traffic Cone is hungry to get capped!!! Let's bring out the vote!
