Come to Britbowl

I'm not usually one to just copy and paste a press release, but hey, I already edited it once...

The kickoff times for BritBowl XXV (25) – the official championship weekend for the BAFA (British American Football Association) National Leagues – have been unveiled ahead of the season-ending showdown later this month.

BritBowl XXV (25) will see eight finals take place over the course of two hard-hitting, action-packed days at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre on Saturday September 24 and Sunday September 25. Here is the line-up for BritBowl XXV weekend:

Amateur Sports - BAFACL

I am now the news editor for the British American Football Association Community League website. This has led me to research all of the teams in the leagues at present. In 2010 we had 51 senior teams 25 youth teams and 16 junior teams. I would say of those about half have websites. Of those very very few have the dates for the 2011 season on their websites so far, the season kicks off in a month and as far as I know the schedule was sorted a month ago.

State of the Broncos

So with a new head coach the Broncos have gone 5-0 for the first time since 1998 when they last one the super bowl. Will the team reach such lofty heights this year? I personally do not see it.

Cutler to leave Broncos

Jay Cutler effectively handed in his resignation from the Denver Broncos last night when he officially asked to be traded away from the organisation. This situation has been building to a head in the last few weeks after McDaniels tried to trade him to Detroit or Tampa for Matt Cassel.

While I am sure that Jay is a better quarterback than Cassel the more I read about it the more I wonder who was at fault. At first it seemed McDaniels was at fault for making a slightly rash decision about who he wanted behind Center but now Jay has made a bit of a fool of himself.
