I know all of our players work hard... but Lewis.... When other players are fishing, spending time with family, posting pictures of their new shoes... This guy is working and sharing pictures of himself working.

not even the kickers. you might have a chance with the cheerleaders.

i trust our staff to make corrections.

You are wrong, as always; I can and have tackled players that have been in the NFL and NFL Europe. The ex Patriots FB was the toughest to bring down.

Actually, I wish the NFL would make the players at least make an attempt to wrap up. In rugby if you don't wrap up a players that you tackle it's a penalty.

That's an interesting fact. I'm surprised no one brought attention to what you just said. While the NFL doesn't need anymore reasons to throw flags on defenders, that is pretty smart of the Rugby officials.
