Brad Barmore the quarterback and leader of the Barney's Bums/Witch Kitch flag football team.
Kofod: Last year your team made the championship game but lost. What will it take this year to not only get back to the championship, but this time win it?
Brad: It’s a simple answer Kofod. We’re a better team this year. This year we have 4 guys on the teams that weren’t there last year that can put us over the top. My brother, Graz, we get Buck in the playoffs this year that is what gets us over the top.
Kofod: Is this season a failure if you don’t win the championship?
Brad: Yes we won’t accept anything less. I want to win every single game by a touchdown. I want the team to go undefeated. I want no interceptions thrown by me. Whenever someone talks about flag football I think about that championship game last year, and we must do better this year.
For the Barney's Bums the pressure is on to win a championship in the 2010 season.
Kofod: What would it mean to you to win a flag football championship?
Brad: It would be huge. Since I was 7 or 8, I always wanted to win the flag football championship.
Kofod: You and Kase watch a lot film of the games. What do you get out of watching fim?
Brad: A couple of laughs. It hilarious to watch Taylor yelling at everyone! We get to see plays done by other teams. I can see weaknesses of what the team and personally I did wrong.
Kofod: Do you try to model you game after someone?
Brad: I just try to be myself. I know I’m not much of a quarterback (Brad laughing). Smartest thing I can do is just get the ball to Buck.
Kofod: What needs to improve on defense?
Brad: Three things Kofod. One we can’t give quarterbacks second chances. We have to sack the quarterback the first time we get the chance. Second is besides the quarterback we just need to pull flags on everyone. Missed flags are killers. They are terrible. Third is we need to shut down team Robo.
Kofod: Who’s the team to beat in the league?
Brad: Robo is the team to beat.
Kofod: Who’s the best player in the Southern Tier Flag Football League?
Brad: I would say it’d be a tie between three guys. Dusty Carlson, Buck, or Doug Baker. You can’t go wrong with any of those guys.
Kofod: Who’s the best player on the Barney’s Bums?
Brad: Buck. We win when he plays well.
Kofod: Who’s the one player on the Barney’s Bums that other teams may overlook but is a guy you can’t win without?
Brad: I’d have to say Taylor. He’s the center, he makes smart decisions. He’ll make 5 great plays a game every time out. He’s humble about it too. Never takes credit for it, makes it all about the team.
Kofod: Big news is circulating on the Barney’s Bums uniform change. Word is the current red Barney’s Bums t-shirt is now going to be a retro jersey. What can you tell us about possible uniform changes?
Brad: Well Doug wants a black uniform. I want a red uniform. We’ll use a different and new logo. One t-shirt will have a logo of the Witch Kitch since that is our big sponsor. I also want to get a pink t-shirt to wear for one game to support Breast Cancer Awareness. We’re looking at getting shorts too. Nothing is officially set in stone yet, but it does look like uniform changes will probably happen.
Kofod: Alright Brad will finish this interview on a lighter note. What were you thinking when you watched Neal throw the regular season first place trophy to the ground and break it?
Brad: I’m saying “what the hell are you doing!” In my mind I’m thinking why would he do that? I did not know if he meant to do it, if it was an accident, what? Was he mad? I still don’t know to this day why he did it! I looked at it with humor, and amazement. It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen!
