Dolphins Pouncey and Landry to battle it out at Jason Taylor event
By Brian Miller
On November 6 heavy weights Mike Pouncey and Jarvis Landry will battle it out at Hard Rock Stadium live in Jason Taylor’s Ping Pong Smash 14.
This annual Jason Taylor Foundation event will pit two of the Dolphins stars in a head to head battle for bragging rights. This years event, presented by Publix, will feature a round robin style ping-pong tournament that will see competitors from the Miami area as well as some of Florida’s most recognizable sports and entertainment celebrities.
Like all of the Jason Taylor Events, children will be the beneficiary of the charitable event. The Jason Taylor Foundation, JTF, raises money year round for the children of South Florida.
This is unlike any ping-pong tournament you have been to. This is a high energy rock-n-roll atmosphere with special lighting by Power Parties DJ’s and Lighting as well as Best Buy Fun Zone where attendees can try their hand at gaming stations and more. On the night before the event, almost 100 children will attend a clinic that will teach them the fundamentals of the sport.
Lets face it though, as Miami Dolphins fans, we want to see who can win this battle between Pouncey and Landry.
"Mike Pouncey: “I love partnering with JT on this event every year and just learning from the great work he continues to do for kids throughout our community,” “I have to say, though, it’s about time he stepped into the promoter role and brought in some real competition. I look forward to the challenge of facing Jarvis. He’s a great teammate and I’ll try not to embarrass him on the tables.”"
Of course Jarvis Landry the ultimate competitor on the football field isn’t going to slack off on the table tennis battlefield either.
"Jarvis Landry: “I’ve heard about the Ping-Pong Smash since I came to Miami, but I think JT and Pouncey have been ducking me,” “I’m really looking forward to showing them both what table-tennis is supposed to look like, and more importantly, I can’t wait to present more opportunities for South Florida youth.”"
