Hey Big Sav Rocca Fans

[~Madness~]

Welcome aboard Killing one, glad you could make it across here to see a bit more about what Sav was doing before he came to the eagles.

I will support the eagles now. Couldn't give a rats toss about any other team as I don't live there so doesn't matter.

I do hope people can be a little more accommodating to ya here though. We do have one thing in common, most of us like big Sav.

Check out the link on youtube that someone posted. It's great to see how big Sav and Anthony can kick.

I'll pop back over to your forum and say g'day on and off too. Thanks for the welcome there this morning.

Welcome aboard Killer.

Not a lot of Aussies follow the NFL, although the superbowl gets a bit of a look in.

If you look at a bit of AFL, you'll see almost all of the players are able to take a hit. Our players wear no padding or helmets, when you get hit it's body on body and some of these boys can move.

It's a very different kind of gamer to NFL, players line up all over the field rather then in opposing ranks, no off side, no time outs, no padding, 18 players on the ground with 4 interchange players only so no offensive team and defensive team, anyone and everyone is allowed to get the ball if they can and pass to a team mate either by kicking (forward or back) or handpassing (holding the ball in one hand and punching it) but not throwing.

Grounds are usually oval shaped, generally 160 yards long by 130 yards wide so players have to be endurance athletes as well as power athletes.

I'm biased, but Ireckon AFL is the best game in the world.

Having said al that, I'll be following Philly's progress this year and hope Save kicks butt.

Oh, as someone else already said, teach the friggin commentators to say his name right.

It's not Row-car

It's Rock-a.

Sav will get plenty of chances to punt this weekend.

Nothing or nobody will change this cheesehead's allegiances.Although I will support the Eagles against our NFC north rivals.

Normally, the QB lines up behind the center prior to the snap of the ball ....... except McNabb!

Pic below shows center ready to snap the ball, McNabb is lined up behind the left guard.

Hey Killa

What chance the Redskins this season? Been following them the last 3 years on NFL.com

Whats your take on Campbell as the new QB?

I guess Philly will be my 2nd team now that Sav Rocca is on board.
Go the Skins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive had a passing interest in the NFL in the past. Used to watch it on channel 2 with Don Lane LOL. I watch the occasional game on Fox sports. Never really had a team although i did like the Bucs for a while and also the Cheifs. I suppose my team will now have to be Philly!!

What is your favorite show?

[Dale61]

LOL @ punk's reference to the Don Lane NFL era.

Back then, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers helmet emblem depicted a gay pirate!

Bless Don Lane & his NFL era.

Whatever happened to Don Lane? Is he still alive?

Hey Killadelphia,

Denver Bronco fan here, since 1986 (one year after I became a Pies fan)

Have even played your American Football in our state competitions here, first for the Uni of Newcastle back in the late 90's and then the Tornadoes in Canberra in 2002. Played TE and DE mostly. Had a short stint at QB against the state champion Seahawks in 2000, and got belted. Great sport to play, but the professional level is getting a little too stop/start to watch and way too much commercialism.

Reckon our Nathan Buckley is the equivalent of John Elway, even down to the not wanting to go to the team that "drafted" him. Determination personified, and hopefully Bucks gets to go out the way Elway did.

How are the 49'ners going?

Came home from NY city and Don Lane was sitting on the plane in the row in front in Feb.2007.

Friendly, talked to all around him but looked frail.
