Captain Do Little and Dave Shoeless Peters

Well here gentlemen is a pair of players that sits squarely in the middle of the pack. Captain Do Little is on his January cleanse, Dave is planning a trip to the sunny south to renergize his batteries (involves a lot of rum).  Don't miss their first match cause it will undoubtedly be entertaining.

Classic Dave Peters

Captain Do Little
(a bad rap - he's got tons of game)

Dave Shoeless Peters

Dave how did you get the nickname Shoeless?  
"No comment - Code of the road - what happens at the Smitty stays at the Smitty but I will say that there were no goats involved"

What is your greatest weakness? 
BOOBS!  ALL SHAPES AND SIZES (I must admit Dave's tits suck)

What is the most memorable or favourite sporting event you ever attended? F1 MONTREAL.  CRESCENT STREET – ‘NUFF SAID (Apparently Hurley's is on Crescent Street)

Who is your favourite James Bond girl?  

GOTTA GO WITH DENISE RICHARDS.  STILL CAN’T GET THE IMAGE OF HER NAKED AND MAKING OUT WITH NEVE CAMBELL OUT OF MY MIND…..LOVE YOU DENISE (Wow the love is coming through loud and clear)

What are you most looking forward to in 2013? 

CROOK/PETERS DEFENDING BFRC DOUBLES CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

What is the one team that you really want to beat in this year’s Calcutta? 

KEARNS/MORTON.  SEEN AS THE PRE-TOURNEY FAVORITES AFTER DISMANTELLING OTHER TEAMS WITH EASE IN PRE-TOURNEY CHALLENGE MATCHES.   BE CAREFUL - CANADIAN JUNIORS BREEZED THROUGH THEIR ROUND ROBIN ONLY TO FINISH WITHOUT A MEDAL ( But the Juniors are among the best in the world while I personally am just honoured to be on the same court as the likes of you and work on my getting out of the way game)

How do you think Byron broke his leg? 

WHO’S BYRON?  IS HE IN THIS TOURNEY? (Well kinda of - Oliver is sponsoring - thank you Byron)

How do you think your team will do in this year’s Calcutta? 

WE WILL SURPRISE ALL NAY-SAYERS AND WIN ONE GAME IN OUR FIRST MATCH, THEN FINISH THE WEEKEND GETTING DRUNK ( Tasting the jager already)

If the Calcutta was like Survivor, who would be first voted off the island and who would be your favourite to win based on their ability to outthink, outwit and outlast the others?

 DONNELLY HAS TO BE THE FIRST VOTED OFF.  KINDA LIKE THE NEED TO CUT OF A DEAD PIECE OF SKIN OR CANCEROUS TUMOR.  SEEING AS GARY WHINES ABOUT HIS HANDICAPP LIKE A 3-YR OLD SCHOOL GIRL EVERY YEAR AND STILL SEEMS TO AT LEAST MAKE THE SEMIS, I’VE GOT TO PUT HIM AS MY FAVORITE…….THAT YETTIE!!

(no editing of this answer)

Taylor Swift or Rihanna or Shania?  

OBVIOUSLY SHANIA.  THAT IS A FACE AND BODY THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME.  STILL UBER-HOT AT 47.  TAYLOR’S GONNA LOOK LIKE AN ANOREXIC  CRACK WHORE AT 50 AND RIHANNA WILL LIKELY FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF WHITNEY. (Angry Dave response)

What is your favourite meal?  

FISH TACOS

What do you want to be doing five years from now? SAME.  WORKIN, DRINKIN, SQUASHIN AND DRINKIN. 

Captain Do Little Bill Brock

What is your greatest weakness?
 Sambuca………black lingerie………brunettes…………choose one……….. (Typical Friday night for Bill includes a late afternoon doubles game, a couple of beers with Sully, Stick Man and Commish, home for a couple of shots of Sambuca and then slip into his black lingerie and brunette wig for a night on Jarvis Street)

What is the most memorable or favourite sporting event you ever attended?

 “Way Back” in the 60’s I saw Joe Namath and the Jets lose to Jack Kemp and the Bills in Buffalo. On the last play of the game, Namath threw an interception which was run back for a TD. I can still see him sitting on his helmet in the middle of the field after the game had ended.

Who is your favourite James Bond girl? 

 Honor Blackman. I still get aroused(only emotionally now) when I think of her. (There are pills available for this Bill - Cass told me about them)

What are you most looking forward to in 2013?

 Buying a racehorse……..

What is the one team that you really want to beat in this year’s Calcutta?

Gaudette and Kelly………I really dislike both of them………..I especially want to wipe that “smirk” off of The Pirate’s face……….

How do you think Byron broke his leg?

 I think someone had him in a “pretzel hold”, he bit his balls, he jumped up, accidentally stepped on the large “vibrator” on the floor and broke his leg…………

How do you think your team will do in this year’s Calcutta?

 As long as we finish ahead of Gaudette and Kelly……….I’ll be happy………

If the Calcutta was like Survivor, who would be first voted off the island and who would be your favourite to win based on their ability to outthink, outwit and outlast the others?

 Sorry, I don’t watch Survivor and your instructions are too complicated for me………….

Taylor Swift or Rihanna or Shania?

 Taylor Swift

What is your favourite meal?

 Liver and bacon (actually not a bad choice)

What do you want to be doing five years from now?

 I’ll probably be living “free as a bird” with my son, spending his money and eating his food…………..I mean, he did that for his first 30 years…………..he can return the favour for my last 30………..:)……

Dr. Dick and Lefty Donnelly

Dr. Dick - Bad Ass
Seriously great picture of the good Doctor after
climbing Mt Kilimanjaro in 2012

Mike now that you are with such a strong player as Doctor Dick, let's discuss a couple of things.

What do you need to different to have a little more success in this year's Calcutta?  

That's a great question Jeff. Last year things were going along pretty well until my leg's broke down.  Clearly I need a different strategy for 2013.  That new approach includes extensive training with Bill Brock.  If a guy like Bill can develop such outstanding endurance, I'd like to learn some of his tricks myself.

The 2011 Calcutta was pretty good until the Nate Drew crew got a hold of Herbivore and turned him into an absolute mess.  Consequently, I'll be buying Dr. Dick dinner and make sure I tuck him into bed nice and early.

Finally, moving to the left wall means I will spend quite a bit of time watching my former partner play to discover how he hits those winners from over his left shoulder.

 (Clearly Mike has taken some public affairs training recently - perhaps he could apply those skills to day to day interactions?)

Mike talk to us about the cross training you are doing through baseball?

Well I clearly have to try something different and so I picked up this unique weight losing catcher's ball and it really seems to be working.  Plus as an added bonus I can wear the pads when I am playing against Peters and avoid the inevitable long lasting marks from the balls that will undoubtedly be hit at me.

Dr. Dick Casey

How do you think Byron broke his leg?

Here’s what Byron told me. “After my wife went to bed, I went to the bar to get a bottle of water and while at the bar I found out the bar tender gives free hand massages when you purchase a bottle of water. I paid $75 for the water and received my free hand massage. After the massage, I returned to my hotel room and realized I left my key in the room. Not wanting to wake my wife up, I entered the room through the bathroom window and slipped on a wet towel that was left on the bathroom floor and that is how I broke my ankle”.

How do you think your team will do in this year’s Calcutta?

2013 Champions

If the Calcutta was like Survivor, who would be first voted off the island and who would be your favourite to win based on their ability to outthink, outwit and outlast the others?

As in every tournament Nate plays (when I’m not his partner), he would be voted out first. There is only one player in this tournament that believes he never makes a mistake and all his double losses can be attributed to his partner. This player acts on the court like he knows everything and can be seen constantly lecturing his partner. Based on this analogy, there can only be one person who has the ability to outthink, outwit and outlast everyone in the tournament…Gary Long (Gary might say the same about you big fellow)

Taylor Swift or Rihanna or Shania?

What about them?

What is your favourite meal?

Dinner

What do you want to be doing five years from now?

Winning another Calcutta trophy
