I'd rather be underestimated by the masses then shock the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he's been in the area since last season and just claiming where he's from and not where he lives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue, but it looks pretty foolish given that it is a preseason game that doesn’t count towards anyone’s records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Edgewater stinks because they played a preseason game 5,000 miles and 6 time zones away, scored 51 points and never trailed for one second in a game against a Global NFL All Star team? Ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt it was meningful on a local level. My opinion is that is wasn't a nationally-relevant event. Nobody outside of Dade was interested in tuning-in to watch local teams play each other in meaningless scrimmages. However if this event was during the regular season and it included out of state teams from CA, TX, GA, OH, NV, etc., now we're talking!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
