Sorry I didn't see it before Willit! Thanks a lot Grin

Those are GREAT shots! Fantastic seats.... reminds me of the seats we haev for Penn State games, 5th row, right on the 50, PSU sideline. Nothing like seeing JoePa kick at one of the refs up close and personal Wink

Thanks again man.... I watched the game in a TGI Friday's at the Plymouth meeting mall after a flight lesson, had a good time

oh boy, someone who doesnt understand why football players have to wear pads.
You see rugby has these silly rules in order to protect its players such as restricting the types of tackles your allowed to use. In football these guys run head first into each other quite often with a force alot more than any rugby tackle. Next the size of these guys, i read the average weight of a rugby player is 185lbs, sure you get some 220 to 240 but those are few and far between. 220 is your average player weight for American football. those guys on the line of scrimmage there, all weigh 270lbs+ you got a 250lb linebacking corp and a bunch of receivers and corners running at full speed all 200+lbs. Alot of beef and muscle.
Sorry rant time Lips Sealed

Sounds more like heavyweight all-in wresting to me. Roll Eyes

You still haven't explained why they call it football. Tongue

I'm glad everyone is enjoying the pictures. Beefhole I
knew you would like them as both you and I are Eagle
fans. I like football but, i'm more of a Hockey fan. The
action is almost non-stop. But, hockey doesn't have
Cheerleaders. I didn't take many pictures because I
took my old digital and forgot to charge the battery
( idiot ). Next game will be to cold and they will be in
winter uniforms. I have maybe a couple more shots.

LET'S GO FLYERS!!!!!!! HOCKEYS BACK!!!!!!!

would love to see any more you may have, or any future trips. What sort of zoom did you have to use? it looks like you were close to the field.

Y'see, Doug, every now and then somebody actually kicks the ball... Grin

There are even players who do only that, for the extra-point goals, and I'm sure any one of them would tell you that they are the real stars of the show, thus the name.
But my guess is that the name was originally "American football", because it used to be a lot more like rugby than it is now. Probably spun off of rugby... I dunno, offhand.
But really, that's not important. what's important is:
Cheerleaders!!!

Yarr.

Go Giants. Wink

Those are some fantastic shots, Willit. Maybe I could bug my dad to take me to a Giants game this year. But it looks like you had great seats.

But in all fairness, Brian Dawkins is probably my favorite Eagle, if I had to choose. Wink

Rugby is more interesting imo because there it is more constant.

I can't stand the whole stop start stop start thing.

You are ever so gracious Craig Grin

(currently findingout your street address and booking tickets into Heathrow....)

Brian Dawkins is also one of my favorites James, as he is the best safety in the league Wink

(I'm really partial to Donovan myself-he's a true gentlemen, and he acts like it)

This was taken with my oldest digital a Canon A75
PowerShot 3.2 mega, 3 optical.

We were five rows backfrom the end zone. Next time
I'll be taken my new camera a Kodak DX7590 5.0 mega
10 optical ( 38-380mm ). The Kodak is a great digital
for the price.
My next game will be the end of November
against the Packers. I'll get shots from the Flyers
games and post then.

I'm a big David Akers fan. Not on the field all the time
but, always gets the job done.

My dad and me talk about how much David kicks ass all the time, but what's been up with him recently? He's missed 3 field goals in two games..... very unlike him.

rough start Embarrassed

He'll get back in his grove Grin

He still upset when Mom (T.O.) and Dad ( McNabb )
were having a tiff. McNabb is true Gentlemen and
team leader. T.O. is, well I don't use that laugage
on the web. Not a T.O. fan.
