I had a chance to see a game over there when I was stationed in Germany. It is a pretty good time.
Thanks for the info.

This is going to be great for antonio. I think he just needs to get comfortable playing reciever. Hopefully the coaches over there can turn his hands of butter into hands off gorilla glue. If Antonio Brown could catch, he would be an awsome compliment to Santana Moss. He already has great speed and agillity.

Dude! Are you crazy? Yes the guy is a Speed Demon, but he has absolutely no Agility whatsoever.
All he can do is run straight, and if he tries to make a cut, he just falls down. And he gets
no Yard After Contact. All someone has to do is freaken blow on him, and he'll fall down.
Now if he get's hands, good hands, in NFLE then he would make a nice deep threat oppositte Santana, or if he gets stronger and more confident he could retain his KR duties, but as of right now, I'd rather have Thrash or Betts (if he's resigned) do the KR and PR job.

Nice, I also have been to a few Amsterdam Admiral games. Kurt Warner was the QB, I think it was back in 98 or 99. A bunch of good players go to Europe and still pan out to be great NFL players.

Brad Johnson used to be the QB for the London Monarchs. I still remember thinking he was a waste of space, and really wanted the back-up to start for them (somebody from Notre Dame, whose name I can't remember at the moment). I was wrong, badly wrong!

Congratulations on a great Avatar. Good player choice too.

Thanks a lot RiC. Choosing between Darrell Green and Art Monk would have needed a coin toss, so I left it to NC43 to choose for me. Had to have the flag in there though!
