Who Am I?

My photo
Daniel Lewis. Ordinary name, not such an ordinary bloke. I'm from Llanelli, and I've lived in Bath, Cardiff and have now settled in Devon and soon to be Somerset. I graduated with an honours degree in Accounting and Finance from Aberystwyth University. I played 3 years for Tarannau Aberystwyth American Football Team and now play for Somerset Wyverns (#57 and now #27). I am the defensive coordinator for Exeter Demons. I enjoy my life to the best of my ability, through family, friends and sport. I'm one of those cases of don't judge a book by its cover. I love to hit and do all the macho things you can dream of, but I'm also a domesticated professional, who loves to cook and read books. I'm a bit of a strange one, from my sense of humour to the title of this blog, as one of the rare few linebackers that can count.

When Will It End? I'm Not Fussed Really...

The NFL lockout, billed as any American football supporters worst enemy for 20 years (or for some since Tim Tebow became a pro or Brett Favre when he unretired... again), is still far from being resolved. Teams are already cancelling mini-camps and other OTA's and many fear the season will either start late or not at all. I love the NFL, nothing I like better than seeing Ray Rice Running for the Ravens from Rutgers, or Ray Lewis pasting somebody into the ground as my Ravens win but the lockout will not be the end of the world for me. Don't get me wrong, I will miss the NFL but not as much as you'd think and neither should you. Leave the uncaring owners of NFL teams who'll get paid anyway and turn your attention to the NCAA. College football is believed to be better than the NFL. It's more exciting, provides more games, has more tradition and is more heavily supported than the NFL.

By watching college football, you'll see varying schemes from the triple option to the no huddle spread to the power I to Oregon's shotgun triple option no huddle spread. There's no playoffs, but there's the bowl season which is just as exciting. You will learn more and enjoy the game more by watching college football. Which many believe is the game in its purest form due to the lack of payed players...

There will be a hole on my Sunday nights where the NFL will usually be should the lockout continue. I'm not worried about this one bit. The lockout will just allow me to watch taped college games that I have missed. My level of football watched won't drop, it just won't be as varied. Watching the "student athletes" play will be just as enjoyable as the NFL. So follow my lead, say balls to the lockout, not worry about it and appreciate the college football system in all it's glory. I guarantee you'll be hooked and will be following a college that until now you will not have heard of. And if you don't agree well I hope you enjoy playing Madden 12 - Negotiations with Roger Goodell. Sounds like it'll be just as good as the star wars remake in The Simpsons.
