I've said all season that Kickin' N' Screamin' is in a league all their own. All season they have played head and shoulders above the rest of the league. They are on a completely different level when it comes to competitive kickball and it doesn't stem from recruiting the best players or having ridiculously athletic folks on their roster. It all boils down to one thing: Teamwork.
The KNS crew has been together for a long while now, at least 4 seasons here at SCK. They know each other well and the play together well. They practice religiously and it obviously has paid dividends. Much of Kickball Nation may see their on-field demeanor as "extreme" or their coach's constant berating as "uncalled for". However; it works for them and it apparently works very well. Some kickballers find Kickin' N' Screamin's constant sweep of SCK awards to be stale and boring, but if anything it adds to the SCK storyline and will create new plots.
Four time champions are rare at any level of competitive play so things like this should be celebrated, not ignored or dismissed. It is an achievement noteworthy of praise and congratulations. So a big congratulations goes out to Kickin' N' Screamin', this season's King of Kickball Champions!
However, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the other 3 teams who made the King of Kickball Finals. Das Boot, Kixxx, and New Kicks on the Block. Although they fell a tad short of the ultimate goal, they all were there in the end contending for the title. Especially New Kicks on the Block, not take anything away from Das Boot or Kixxx, but New Kicks played some very inspiring kickball during Finals week. After coming dangerously close to forfeiting their Final 4 match-up, they were able to muster enough of troops together and with only 8 players, they were able to give Kixxx all they could handle and more. Powered by their "Chewing Gum Chant", New Kicks played one hell of a game. They made me a fan, for sure.
And with that the Spring 2012 Season comes to a close. Congratulations to all the teams on a very LONG and successful season. Thank you for participating and see you all next season!
Good Luck & Happy Kicking!

Congratz to all
Lets start off by addressing the post above. Rebecca whether you win by 5 or 10 or 1, losing is losing. But you did lose in playoffs, they are the ones holding a championship trophy so that makes them better than you in that area.
On to the second reason "you're better than them". Just because one person or two walk off the field and don't shake your hands for whatever reason, acknowledge that the other 13 players do shake your hand. You want to talk about bad sportsmanship, what about you always running your mouth on the sideline making comments about Rick, or his team. I dont know if Rick hears you but I cant believe he still talks to you all cool. Maybe its because you are the commissioners wife and maybe thats why you take advantage of being that because if anyone calls you out on it the whole league will hate them. Yes im your friend on FB but doesnt mean I like you. So dont talk about bad sportsmanship, when thats what you're all about. I have seen you talk so much garbage on FB about Rick and his team and make comments about them on and off the field. So in conclusion, you are no better than the two that walked off the field, you are actually worse because you make personal comments.
I am one of the only true and sincere kns fans, so with that said good job kns on four straight, wish i could've seen the championship but i couldn't make it this time around. Hopefully my team makes it further than the first round next season lol
Wow!! Go Das Boot!
I can't seem to sent this comment from my phone with a name so...
From Becks with Love:
LMFAO! First off I'm flattered that your putting me on blast! Its nice to know you're still thinking about me ;) Second, yeah I talked shit about Rick, not his team, at 1st (funny how u don't include Hugo... Hmmm I think I talk more shit about him than Rick). I just thought it was ridiculous that he used to throw fits over every Bad Call. But in the past 4 seasons, I've gotten to know him better and saw he's not a Douche. I actually like that he's a Kickball Geek, and I use that as a term of endearment. I hope u know that Rick! I <3 u Kid! And anyone I talk shit to I poke & say I'm Just Playing. If u knew me At All u would know that its all talk, bull shit, playing around, Busting Balls. At least I own up to what I say. I don't care who my husband is, I'll talk shit if I feel like it. If u don't have balls to talk back because you're afraid ppl won't like u, I'm sorry your a wuss that Needs to be "liked". And your my FB friend? :D Guess who doesn't give a Fuck if u like her... This Bitch Right Here! Lol I'm glad that u can see all these horrible things U Say I post & say about Rick & KNS. Now that I know it gets your panties in a bunch, it kinda turns me on! :-P Third, its funny how some think KNS don't get as much Attention they Think they deserve. It's not "news" anymore that they won again. They're an awesome team! And I'm glad they won because they Do deserve it. But ask most of them if they need to be told that. They'll tell u Hell No! So Get Over Yourselves (those who stormed off & No Name)! Those that are Good don't need constant reassurance.
So go a head & respond how ever u feel u Need to To be liked, but just know I really don't care what u think. U wanna call me out but can't even say who u are. And u still won't say cuz your scared to be hated by the league. LMAO Please! No one would care what u have to say about me. I'm not important enough to anyone other than u. You're just a no name punk who cowers behind your no name comments. Yeah that 1 was personal and??? Idk who u are anyway. Otherwise maybe I'd be nicer ;)
In Conclusion (Ha!) Thank u for not liking me, but Loving me cuz this Attention Whore Loves u back ;)
I just wanted to take a second and give a big heads up to Long Strokes for a wonderful Season.

I like to pick on u cuz it gets u So mad lol. I hope there are no hard feelings and I'll stop picking on u in that way cuz its not cool to laugh at your expense.
Much Love KNS!

Answer From:
HUMBLE - HuGo... 69 with lotz more love: to all the haters! U know who U are!
I have said it many times, NO ONE CARES ITS JUST KICKBALL!!!
WIN - which we continue doing, ---- so shut up and PLAY...
Loose - Which happens to everyone its part of the Game!
Or Draw: Tricks are for KIDS! just let it be,
I THOUGHT, I was joining an Adult Competitive Kickball Beer League
NOT a beauty popularity contest league…
I will NEVER see eye to eye with everyone on the field nor “IM trying to….”
I wont get my feeling all hurt if ( JOE BLOW) does or Doesn’t
talk to me, shakes my hand, wishes me well…
Talking Trash is part of the game, so Please feel free….
Does anyone really care who I say good game to…. NO
Who I talk nicely to, NO. Who the better players are NO.
Who the drunks, haters, backstabber are NO
Let’s focus on more important things for example…..
Improving the League, Making it Bigger, Better,
A tournament EPK vs SCK
NO real reason to sit here and bash, name call, abuse each other
Sign Soar Looser

No warm no foul
This IS Hilarious! Now I remember why I don't read the Blog! It seems Hugo & 1 other KNS player (I'm assuming, could b Longstrokes tho :/ ) are the only ones who feel the need to comment on what Rich writes. I checked back to see if anyone had anything else to say to or about me and I wish "Anonymous" hadn't taken down my FB post they had copied & pasted before... :'( Waaaaa! I liked the attention! I thought we were becoming Best Friends! But Do let me know via FB when your gonna blast me here cuz even though my husband writes it, I really don't care to read it unless its about me SO Thanks;)
Anyway if you all want to make the league better start bitching more to the Board Members to do better things like Parties! Give suggestions cuz they're getting super Lazy & stopped trying to "improve" the league. It SHOULD be a beer league! Ok so we can't drink on the field but let's do more Freaking Parties with some Drinking Games! The "League" can supply 1 keg per party at least 3 times a year! Come on Folks!!!
Becks Out!
I need to correct two things:
1. This is NOT a "beer" leauge. If that's what you think this is...then we have a problem. This is an Adult Competitive Kickball League.
2. Trash talking is NOT part of the game, especially when it starts elevating to an unnecessary level. You don't get point for that.
Also, although players aren't required to participate in the post-game handshake, it is just the courteous thing to do. However I understand that not everyone is generally courteous and repectful ao that is understandable.
Lastly, a SCK and Epk tournament has been talked about, but the powers to be on the other side of the fence aren't so friendly about the idea.
