dakegra | 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?

nah, american football is easy. 4 chances to move the ball 10+ yards down the field then the other guys have a go. Points for touchdown, points for conversions, lots of HUGE guys in vast amounts of armour.

We have a similar game over here, we call it 'rugby', but we tend not to use the sissy helmets and armour. :-P
