Weirdly enough I'm not a big fan of soccer or similar "public viewing" sport events, and I guess the main difference is that with soccer, unless the ball is in the outermost left or right quarter of field (in the team's goal area) there's little drama. All the passing around in mid-field is simple boring. But with the way Football works, every ten yards is a bit like a run on the soccer goal. Even if the team still has 50 or 60 yards to go before a possible touchdown, it always feels involved. And of course the violence when a few hundred pounds of muscle hit another few hundred pounds of muscle also make it quite fun to watch. Definitly gonna watch more of those. Austria's hosting the World Championship this summer so a good time to start... It was watching a live match in which my cousin was playing that got me intrested in the game, 2 months later and I had generated enough intrest in my home town that we started a team. I've never been to an NFL game but I have seen the best that UK had to offer and really enjoyed it. It is a great game to play and I miss playing it, I have just found out that there is a local team in the next town and once I find out where they play/train I'll be going over to visit Down, set, hut, hut..... _________________________ Chlanna nan con thigibh a so's gheibh sibh feoil Sons of the hound come here and get flesh Clan Cameron

Four retired NFL players, including Hall of Fame defensive end Carl Eller and Pro Bowl running back Priest Holmes, filed a federal class action, antitrust lawsuit against the NFL on Monday seeking to end the current lockout.

Eller v. NFL, obtained by Yahoo! Sports, is similar to the current Brady, et al v. NFL. However, it is based on a potentially clever legal maneuver that could box the league into a corner and prove a significant development in ending pro football’s nearly month-long labor impasse.

The former players’ suit also covers draft-eligible prospects, who aren’t represented by the NFL Players Association under the previous collective bargaining agreement. As such, these plaintiffs could potentially avoid one of the league’s chief counterarguments against the Brady lawsuit – that the union illegally decertified.
