Quote from: SaffronSports on December 12, 2023, 03:04:51 PMIf one of these lads make it to the NFL they're earning a minimum of $660,000 a year under the league rules. Best of luck to them.
The starters on the top teams are getting $4 to $5 million a year so its a fantastic opportunity for these lads.

in NFL you have 1 job - kick the ball over the bar. A snapper will throw the ball backwards to the holder who positions the ball and then the kicker kicks it over the bar. This all has to happen really quickly as there's 11 250lb monsters charging toward the kicker trying to kill him. You'd have to think Beggan's leg is strong enough. I'll follow whoever he signs for.

A combine is basically an open training audition where all the prospects go through their plays while scouts from all 32 NFL teams are watching.

Scotstown went for a goal when a point would have levelled it. Not sure Glen were much better to be honest. Fine margins

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on December 10, 2023, 04:41:54 PMSorry he already had the ball, wasn't impeding him, Dougan was on the ground and McCarron went to go forward and fall over him. Seriously what is the standard of reffing in Antrim these days if you think that's a foul.

It's a foul in any county
Yeah its a free all day

Quote from: straightred on December 02, 2023, 03:33:36 PMnaas will be kicking themselves after this. They've played all the football but just don't have the belief to win it

How do they not have the belief? They don't have the coaching.. too many bad errors and decisions
ok whatever the cause. Lumping stupid high balls into the box, carrying it into contact etc.

Crokes are very beatable

Left a few scores behind them in the 2nd half. They should be at least level

Quote from: Captain Obvious on November 26, 2023, 05:34:24 PMScotstown would remind you so much of Monaghan seniors. Glen will be favourties for the final however Scotstown are well capable of winning that Ulster decider.
I think its 8 from the Monaghan panel and a couple of younger lads knocking on the door. Thought Maguire (13) was very good and was surprised they took him off. He can't be far off the Monaghan panel

Bit of brave management too. Scotstown put on Malley in ET and then took him off again. Takes guts to do that
