American Football

[LuckyR 10]

Is anyone interested. Does anyone want to play? There is an American football league in this country and although not as big as it was it still does well for itself...

The nearest team is doncaster mustangs but sheffield lacks representaion in the brittish senior league (BSL)! The city has two large university teams who do well for themselves in the university league (BCAFL) and people are considering setting up a sheffield team? Who would be interested?

 

For details on the sport visit http://www.gridironuk.co.uk or for the doncaster team http://www.doncastermustangs.co.uk

 

The two uni teams are at http://www.sheffieldsabres.com (uni) and http://www.shuwarriors.com (hallam)

I had some contact with the Mustangs but it sort of dwindled off. If someone set up a Sheffield team I'd be there in a second, as long as I get to play TE, hehe.

I'm expecting my beloved New England Patriots to repeat the superbowl championship this year. Any takers? One good thing about being over here, we get to watch it live at a decent hour!

Panthers will win it this year, they're still building.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Vikings this year.

The old guard are falling on hard times. Dallas, 49ers. Giants, Steelers, and Dolphins just ain't what they used to be. Maybe the Panthers have a chance, they didn't look bad last year. I still have a sneaking regard for Green Bay and always have had.

The Panthers were robbed last season! I do think Armstead and Short will be important, like they were at the Giants. It'll be interesting to see the result of the game against the patriots on the 28th...

Green Bay always have a chance of winning NFC North so they're always a good playoff candidate. I can't help but think that if the Vikes have finally got the defence they need in place this year, then Culpepper and Moss can take them all the way.

One thing we can be sure of, the dolphins will not be having a great season. Its been one setback after another for them.

Glad to see there is still a lot of interest in the city, since my last visit in 1989. My nephew, an ardent 49ers fan, was very pleased with a t shirt I brought him from San Fran with britannia wearing a 49ers helmet. It came from the Britannia Arms pub in Cupertino,California.

If this ever gets going, I'm in for sure.

It would be good to keep this one going now that the season is nearly upon us. I can't wait. Some of the pubs over here have their own club favorites, the one down our street is the Steeler's fan club, and across the river is Dolphin's territory. Naturally I go to the Pat's pub to celebrate the repeat next year nice and early!
