I failed to mention that the previous Teabag column would be devoted to basketball teabags. This video is a great example of a teabag in the Ultimate world. Ultimate is a sport that has been gaining ground over the last 30-40 years and it will continue to, as long as athletes like Beau Kittredge populate it. Teabags are not as prevalent in ultimate mostly because the opportunity is not there. You won't see a defender "drawing a charge", nor do you ever have a situation where a defender wouldn't jump. As you can see from the video, the defender attempted to jump, probably trying to catch the disc at 7-8 feet. Not sure he was ready to go up to 11.
*Note - This catch appeared on ESPN SportsCenter's Top 10 plays of the day.
This was probably the most ridiculous skying I've ever seen. The defender in this picture was one of the top "big man" defenders in college Ultimate last year. He is jumping, not being touched, and his hand is a good foot and a half below Beau's who has tweaked his body to not foul the defender. A spectacular athlete.
