    I was watching the rugby yesterday; Wales v England, and flicking over the channel between the (one) commercial break, I saw some American Football. Now, no offence, but... that's a sport? It was pretty funny watching the macho posturing of some of the players on the sidelines every time play stopped, (another thing, why does that happen so often?) , but it seemed to be less about skill with carrying or passing the ball, and more to do with which team was best at getting in the way of the other team.

    I don't mean to sound abusive, but yeah, if you want to see american football played well..... watch rugby :p

    Wow. Just had a lady I work with call me and ask me if I knew Tom Brady's relatives live not too far from where I do. So I did a search and found this in an article:

    . S[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]s the guy who, throughout his entire football career, has been doubted, ignored and overlooked. There are a few people who never doubted Brady. That would be his grandfather, Gordon Johnson of Clarissa, and Brady's cousin, Paul Johnson of Browerville. Galynn Johnson, Gordon's daughter and Tom's mother, was born and raised in Browerville. She went on to work for Northwest Airlines and met Tom Brady Sr. They married and moved to San Mateo, Calif., had Tom Jr., and the rest is history. As a kid, Brady spent some time during the summer in Minnesota with Gordon and the rest of the family.

    Never knew it till today. Guess I don't pay enough attention to football.
