Did they have him playing the whole match?

That was a very nice gesture I must say, even though his team were beaten fairly comprehensively. I could never get into American Football, to much strategy and stop starting for my liking. All that padding is completely unneccssary too.

I doubt you'd say that if you ever played on the offense! Or on the defense, for that matter!

My response to that comment is; I've played rugby!! 100 times more dangerous, and a lot more physical than NFL.
