Mainly because I like to pretend to be American, but I started playing football (american) this year and just had my first game yesterday as an LG for the Reading Renegades. Great game with 3 passing TD's and 2 rushing. We ended beating the Milton Keynes City Pathfinders (shitty name, they couldn't find their ways out of a paper bag) 33-3. I got me a few good pancakes and even a recovered fumble, not bad for my first game. Didn't start but got a good amount of playing time, looking at a start in the next game or two. We have the Cornish Sharks on Saturday, they've just signed two semi-pro Americans onto their team. Both go two ways at RB/OLB and TE/FS so we'll see how that turns out. Looking forward to the LB blitzing, see how I cope with him coming through. Anyway, check us out. www.renegadesafc.com And the Brittish League's page. www.bafl.org.uk In case you're wondering, Renegades are in the South West Division on the National League 2. |

The game is really experiencing a surge in popularity over here at the moment. A few of the premier games this year will be covered on national television, which for the game here is a MASSIVE step forward. The standard isn't great by any means but it's gradually getting there. We'll never match the States, in fact, I doubt we'll ever get anywhere near but those of us that do play love the game and put just as much effort in as anybody else. Hopefully, we'll be seeing a few more British players hit the NFL in the coming years, which will be good for us. We certainly have the talent, it's just introducing the game at grass roots level now, so kids are playing from an earlier age. I'll also be going to play for the National College Champions in September, so can't wait for that. My head coach - who also coachs the Oxford Cavaliers at college level - has already told me he reckons come September I'll be a great guard for the Stags, so looking forward to it. |

For some reason, instead of checking the actual site I decided to check this claim on Wikipedia. Also, enter gay tackling joke here. |
