SURVEY1. How did you start taking interest in American football?

When did you start keenly following the NFL? At the same time especially when Don Lane had his weekly ABC show3. Where does gridiron rank among your favorite sports? AFL 1st, NCAAFB 2nd, cricket 3rd NFL 4th 4. Watching gridiron in Australia, what is the rough percentage breakdown between OneHD, Streams, Torrents, Foxtel, Gamepass? Foxtel 90%, Streams 10%4. Favorite NFL and NCAA team(s)? Washington Redskins for NFL and Northwestern Wildcats in NCAAFB (I’m a much bigger college fan than NFL fan these days)5. Favorite NRL and AFL team(s)? Canberra Raiders and Collingwood6. What is your 'astrological' or 'chinese new year' NFL team -- nickname of team that won the championship in the year of your birth? Steelers7.

Which 8 gridiron people in history would you invite home for a night of dinner and conversation? Joe Montana (legend QB), Jon Gruden (I like his opinions/analysis), Joe Gibbs (legend coach), John Madden (Legend Coach/commentator), Vince Corso (the bloke amuses me!), Bo Jackson (favourite all time player), Marcus Allen (gotta have a couple of Raiders at the table!), 12. What US pro-sports gear do you own and/or aim to buy in future? Heaps over the years especially in the early 90’s when it was hard to get anything here in Oz so grabbed anything I could - at one stage I had a Redskins shirt, Giants jumper, Giants & Bills Superbowl XXV T-shirts and a Chiefs cap.

Have you been to a gridiron game -- (nfl, ncaa, arena, cfl, lfl, ufl, xfl)? Unfortunately only 1 but it was a ripper the 1996 Rose Bowl between USC & Northwestern. I spent the day with Pat Fitzgerald’s family (he was All-American that year as well) during the 1996 Rose Bowl including tailgating in the carpark before and after the game, going back to the players hotel for the after match function and generally getting pretty tanked, pity they lost. It was absolutely awesome day, and i have a Pat Fitzgerald jersey and signed ticket up on the wall at home to show for it! It’s great to see him taking the Wildcats program to another level with consistent Bowl appearances for such a small Uni.16.

RG3 oh wait we already have him!!!!!20. Do you play gridiron video games? How often? Favorite all-time gridiron video game? n/a21. Are you planning on buying a next-gen console coming around 2012-13?

Used to gamble a bit on the NCAA not so much these days. Best result was a couple of years ago on NCAA when I picked about 7 “certainties” in a mutli when each team was playing all non conference games (this makes it a lot easier to pick!)24. Are you interested in joining the Armchair Endzone prize-money tipping comp for next season? Maybe..
