I remember Mort—he used to ref our games! Although it's not widely known, Webnode's West Coast Imperial Corporate Complex encompasses the entire 27 blocks south of [reference deleted]'s building, in the SOMA. Some of the [reference deleted] employees would come over to our indoor, glass-encased, sports arena at noon for a friendly game of lunchtime football.

We were rarely able to go a full game because of the time constraints, and when the 1:00 whistle blew, all the Webnoders would trudge back to work. After that, it usually only took 3 — maybe 4 plays for the opposing team to score a touchdown, although on a rough day, they could stretch it into the fourth quarter.
