Best Idea From The Weekend: USA Flag Football Team vs NFL Flag Football Team On July 4, Winner Gets To Play In The Olympics
I can't stress how much I love this idea. There's been a lot of talk from Darrell Doucette wanting to play in the Olympics. He wants to represent USA because he's the quarterback of the USA Flag Football Team. I get it. The dude has won, this is his 'sport' in the sense of playing flag football vs regular football. But, come on. We know if NFL players want to play in the Olympics, you send the names that everyone knows.
It's also far from the first time Doucette has spoken out about the NFL players playing:
Make them play each other. It's that simple. It's the easiest way to end an argument when it comes to sports. You think your team is better, line up, go 7 on 7 or whatever the rules are and see if you can beat the NFL team. Love the idea of playing it on July 4, but I'd say it should be a Sunday night in the summer. Make it feel like Sunday Night Football and trick our brains for a second that it's not just flag football with the rights to represent America. There's also nothing better than a winner-takes-all game.
I don't even think Mahomes would be the pick here for QB1 of the NFL flag football team. He's awesome, but wouldn't it be someone like Jayden Daniels or Lamar? Guys who can scramble a whole lot more are made to be flag football QB stars. But either way, you can settle the argument one way or another with this game. Make it happen, it's the best idea by far I saw from the weekend. Or just send the NFL team like they are going to do anyways. But at least give us something to watch out of it and settle the argument.
