After weeks of building anticipation, the time has come for you, the good audience of Bolts from the Blue, to voice your opinions and put your figurative money on the line. That's right, now we get to see which BFTB writer constructed the better Flag Football team based on your votes.
Our fearless leader, Mr. John Gennaro has constructed a team he calls The Hat Eaters*. Assistant Editor Richard Wade has constructed a team he calls the Raider Haters.
| Hat Eaters | Raider Haters |
| Shaun Phillips | Melvin Ingram |
| Eric Weddle | Antonio Gates |
| Malcom Floyd | Ryan Mathews |
| Eddie Royal | Robert Meachem |
| Ladarius Green | Nick Hardwick |
| Jared Gaither | Marcus Gilchrist |
| Philip Rivers (QB) | Philip Rivers (QB) |
What started out as a friendly experiment quickly devolved into a bit of a pissing match. Never one to miss an opportunity to feel superior, Richard quickly seized the opportunity to belittle his opponent, even going so far as to make selections based on questionable interpretations of the rules.
But that's neither here nor there. It's up to you fine members of Bolts from the Blue to decide once and for all who built the better team. There are no set rules on how you must arrive at your decision. Maybe you like John more than Richard, or vice versa. Or maybe even one of the players on either team happened to go to the same college as you and so that's where your bias lies. Whatever choice you make, it's up to you and we won't judge you for it.
