What is your favorite sport besides football?

"Rugby. It's lots of fun. The moral of the sport is, it's usually pretty clean for the most part. There aren't pads, so people are a lot smarter when they hit, and there's a lot more room to run. It's just not as, I don't know what it is about football, but people get very angry so fast -- but not on the rugby field."[/QUOTE]

Marcus must have played in the scrum where the big boys play. Although, if he's got good hands and is more than just a blocker he could have been a back. We have two Rugby players on the team now.......how cool!
Not many Rugby players make it to the pros. Rugby players are playing offense and the next moment they are on defense. It requires a different type of athlete. On the other hand there is a position in Rugby for every football position. Just not vice versa. More and more people are learning about Rugby. Sorry to go off on a rant.......Geaux Saints. Who Dat II!
