Awesome, I think that is Cologne!

I actually looked into going to an NFL Europe game over there, but the tickets were pretty expensive... I think about $40 for an average seat. I went to a Herta Berlin-Bayern Munich match in Olympic stadium for $20 instead.

If you want Europeans to like American football, perhaps lowering ticket prices?? The Germans take to our game more than other Europeans from what I've seen.

Good luck Jamaal!

The old saying was that "Politics makes strange bedfellows" It appears that the NFL Europe can repeat the same!!!!

branch never really seemed to me like the kind of player with the speed or burst to even be a backup in the NFL

Of course these are stretch comparisons, but he is of the Earl Campbell/Eddie George mold. Faster than he looks, his real talent is running downhill between the tackles and delivering a blow at the end. He gets stronger as the game goes on.

He needs the right type of offense to be successful, but if he is given a chance in one, he can be very good. We're all hoping for the best for Jamaal!

I think Branch can be a better fullback in the NFL then Justin Green (Montana), but what do I know.... Green got drafted and doesn't have to go to NFL Europe to prove himself. xcoffeex
