h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

If you found this entry interesting, then why not pop over to the American Football forum that I've recently set up. It's over at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A874668 and you can talk about the NFL, NFL Europe or whatever league you're interested in.

BBS, comment on the article?? Anything? Please? First ever published article. Need affirmation...

It's very good.

A nice balance between informing the newcomer to the sport and giving some fresh information to the older hands. Not too condescending and not too jargonny(?).

I actually managed to read the whole entry, something I rarely achieve with entries as I usually get bored about halfway through.

Have you been to many games?

If I'd seen this at PeerReview I would say that perhaps it could have given a bit of info about why they're called the Clayesmores and the use of the film "Braveheart" to bring the team together in winning the World Bowl in 1996. But there you go, an opportunity missed ...

Yeah, I guess I could have added a bit about that. Oh well..

I'm a proud season ticket holder for the Claymores home games (49-yard line seat) and have been since the 2001 season, which isn't too bad considering I only moved to Scotland in 1999 and went to my first Claymores game in 2000.
