He was certainly still a kid and probably not far off 10 or 11.
He certainly attended college (Troy) and I'm pretty sure he mentioned something about playing mostly soccer during junior high.
Really like the new Scotland top actually - nice to see he's still proud of his origins and it is nice to see a Scot reaching such a great status in the league :agree:
Yep good for him. :agree:Quote:

I know she's getting on a bit and had a LOT of help on the night but she looked no bad for an old bird.Quote:

By my reckoning the Pats would only have had about 18 secs after the kick off to get up the field into FG range and out of bounds to stop the clock.Quote:

Just reading "boys will be boys" about the Dallas team of the 90s. Those guys knew how to party!
Great read and would recommend it.
Just to note there is a new programme on sky Atlantic called Friday Night Lights, its about a High School Football team in Texas. Its been pretty good so far :agree:

Sure it's an expanded version of the older film, starring Billy Bob Thornton :agree:Quote:

Thanks TSSF, i haven't seem any given Sunday or Remember the Titans. The only one i really remember seeing is Varsity Blues and Jerry MaGuireQuote:

Both Remember the Titans and We Are Marshall are compulsory viewing for any fan of American Football. Any Given Sunday is a brilliant film also.Quote:

Looks like the Seahawks are re-signing Marshawn Lynch. Would have been crazy not to after he saved our season!
Well its new to me :greengrinQuote:

What's this thing about the saints intentially injuring players?
It seems that the old defence coordinator Greg Williams ran a bounty system on defence. It meant players got paid for interceptions/fumbles/sacks and injuries. It seems to be thy this isn't new to the league but we seem to have been pretty dumb and got caught.Quote:

I expect our punishment to be worse than the patriots got for spygate. Also expect the Saints media love across America to change to make us one of the most disliked teams along with the cowboys and patriots. Big fines and the loss of draft picks are likely.
Hitting an opponent so hard they dont get up is what the game has always been about. The nauseating fake outrage in the US media about this is absolutely laughable.Quote:

Good news for the Hawks. Id like to see him doing it consistently over 16 games, hes a streaky player but when hes on form hes almost unstoppable. Just need a QB and a receiver or two now :greengrin:Quote:

Free agency! According to Twitter.
I wonder who will take him up
Confirmed on SSN.
Wonder where he'll end up - I'd imagine one of either Kansas City, Arizona or maybe even Seattle, as Jackson only has a year left on his contract.
My outside bet would be into the AFC East, to either Miami or the NY Jets. Sexy Rexy has made more than a few comments about his admiration for Manning, and let's be honest, he's not going to get a Superbowl with Sanchez at the offensive helm, so you never know!
