Informative and instructive post. Keep 'em coming!
I want to know as much about schemes and position repsonsibilities as I can - and network announcers don't even tell me who's in the game. The mainstream online writers are no better. The good information I get off the internet comes from this board. Thanks to all whompost in depth - and again to you, Leo!
The more I learn the more fun it is to watch the games - or in my case, the highlights, which is usually all I get.
Today Missoula MT FOX tv is shoehorning another Minnasoda Vikeengs game into our airspace. The whole masthead of the station reads like a St. Paul phonebook. The news announcers have upper midwest accents and hardly a non-Scandanavian name in the lot. They've pre-empted too many network-scheduled Rams games off the air over the years. Today's game wasn't scheduled to air here, but no matter. They pre-empted another game to show da Vikeengs.
