American Football

I've no idea who this guy is, only that he appears to be very, very good at what he does.

I remember watching american football with my dad back in the eighties - Channel 4 did a weekly (iirc) programme covering the goings on in the NFL. We followed the Redskins, the Cowboys, the Raiders, the Dolpins, all these cool-sounding teams with armoured giants clashing against each other.

I remember the time that quarterback got tackled so hard his knee went completely the wrong way. I remember The Refrigerator, who was built like a, well, refridgerator.

Happy days. I wish our TV showed more american football. I'd love to go see a game sometime. Maybe some of my Minneapolis Posse will take me one day?

I'm not a huge football (soccer) fan, but I'd imagine that there are some Premiership football clubs (top level in the UK) that would love attendances like that.

*googles*

Take for instance Newcastle United, 'my' football team - they played Manchester United in August, a very big game and attendance was c. 75k.
