Gardner and a Gallon head to Japan

[biggunsbob]

I never knew Japan had Anerican football . Headed to the X-league which was founded in 1971. I hope they both have success. The league has a interesting set up. Only 4 Americans per team and only 2 can be on the field at the same time .

I hope they are getting a good paycheck over there.

Probably not that much. I had I site for how much some other guy was making over there then lost it and then started watching some team get pummeled by Texas last night.
Sounds like Gardner is not even taking his family with him. But the players get Healthcare, room ect,ect.

it's just a small stipend... but the real reward is lots of Japanese women.

Roundtree had been playing in some arena league for a Denver-area team before turning to coaching ...first at CSU-Pueblo and now at some small college - Limestone - in SC.

there's an American football world cup. each country can only field amateurs who are citizens. America always dominates with a rag-tag bunch of former D-2 college players. Canada usually fields a good team as well. Germany, Mexico, and Japan are usually decent, as American football has some popularity there, but everyone else sucks.

still... it is gradually catching on.

There is guys born here in the US that somehow got into rugby. I don't know if there is a professional rugby league here or not, if there is it's probably mostly players from countries where rugby is big.

But it's not surprising that some people in other countries would watch American football and think wow that's pretty cool I'd like to play that.

There is a pro rugby league and Denver has a team - suburb Glendale. There's actually a pretty impressive stadium here too, just for rugby.

And when I lived in Vail, rugby was huge among the kiwis, Aussies, Brits & South Africans. Few Yank buddies of mine played ...friend from HS played club rugby at Michigan.

Rough sport.
