I know you guys couldn't give a rat's ass about NFLE, but it's my only respite from soccer.

So I'm watching the Hamburg Sea Devils vs the Amsterdam Admirals, when they show a close up of the Admirals OC. The guy looked familiar, so I went to their website and lo and behold;

Ron Heller
Offensive Coordinator

Ron Heller enters his first season as offensive coordinator of the Amsterdam Admirals having served as the club's offensive line coach in 2006. He first gained experience in NFL Europa in 2004 as a season-long intern coach with the Admirals.

And wasn't even starting any fights.

So who's got their TiVo set up for Yello Strom World Bowl XV?

Does Hamburg's running attack have a chance against Frankford'd Defense?

Can the Galaxy keep throwing the ball against the Sea Devils front 7 pressure?

Will Frankford ride their 5 game home winning streak blah blah blah blah zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz



Screw this, when does Training Camp open?

Screw this, when does Training Camp open?

It doesn't matter when it starts. It isn't like your gonna go to any practices. I for one am looking forward to watching a bunch of dipshits play softball.

I think this might be the all-time saddest thing ever posted on the internet. You just said that you have so little to do with yourself that you're going to watch a bunch of people you don't like enjoy themselves. Wow.

I won't be playing softball. Maybe manager or first base coach.

I don't have any ACLs left to tear. And now I have a strained hip flexor and right quad.

My legs crumble around me ...

You're about 1 year away from yelling at kids to get the hell off your lawn while wearing a babysh*t brown bathrobe.

Umpire, DGB - unless you think you'll tear a tendon punching someone out.

fågelpojke, next time ask or pay me my royalties, sucka

RIP...guess I should cancel that order I put in for "Hamburg Sea Devils Europa Champions!" hat.

FRANKFURT, Germany (June 29, 2007) -- The NFL folded its development league in Europe, calling the decision a sound business move that will allow for a stronger international focus on regular-season games outside the United States.

The announcement came less than a week after the Hamburg Sea Devils beat the Frankfurt Galaxy 37-28 in the World Bowl title game in Frankfurt before a crowd of 48,125. Five of the NFL Europa's six teams are based in Germany, with the other in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

A statement on the German-language edition of the NFL's Web site said the NFL decided to concentrate its "strategies and resources" on regular-season games outside the United States in an effort to reach as many people as possible.

"We thank our fans for the great support in the past years," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was quoted as saying.

Goodell said it was time to develop a new international strategy, terming the move to fold NFL Europa the "best business decision." The league reportedly was losing about $30 million a season.

"From now on we will focus on regular-season games and use new technologies to make NFL more popular worldwide," he said.

NFL team owners decided in October to play up to two regular-season games outside the United States. The first such game will be Oct. 28 in London between the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants.

The league began in 1991 as the World League of American Football, with 10 teams from the United States and Europe. After closing for two seasons in 1993 and 1994, the league returned with six European teams and retained the same format until the end.

The league was used by NFL teams to test young talent and produced players such as quarterback Kurt Warner, who led the St. Louis Rams to the Super Bowl XXXIV title and won two NFL Most Valuable Player awards; Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme; and star Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri.

NFL Europa managing director Uwe Bergheim said the league had succeeded in establishing a fan base for football in important European markets.

"Despite the great support of fans, business partners and the cities where we were active, we decided that it was time to change the strategy," Bergheim said.

Whew! That's great news for anyone that appreciates a little less competition for the Salary Cap Trophy this year.

The Precious....

You're ALIVE???

Of course! I'm just taking my usual break from the off-season talk. Once the preseason games get going I'm usually back here for the season to make occasional insightful comments and kill threads with awful, ill-crafted wit.
