He throws a couple of good passes and he and the kids have a blast.

William did have a couple of good passes. I love his white sneakers.
US football is taking hold in the UK, the couple of games the pro-teams have held have brought in large crowds.

"Prince William showed off his witty sense of humour on Tuesday as he attended an NFL Foundation community event in London.

The Prince of Wales, 42, joined members of the foundation in Kennington Park, focusing on tackling challenges faced by young people in some of the most deprived areas of the UK.

After impressing the professional players with his efforts on the pitch, William couldn't resist making a cheeky comment about his sporting ability.

When he was given three mini balls to take home for his three children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, as well as a full size one for himself, he laughed: ‘I’ll do some practice at home and see how many windows I can smash.’

The royal joined a community event in south London hosted by the NFL Foundation UK, a charity that works with young people in deprived areas."

The Broncos went over a few years ago to play in an annual exhibition game. No one expected the crowds that showed up.

I like the fact that this organizational is including girls as well as boys and that they're all playing together

.....the German and US fans singing a rousing version of "Take Me Home Country Roads".
A friend sent me this link, he said they sing this song at each game when NFL teams play in Germany. The fans love it.

They've started playing that here, too. They substitute Colorado for West Virginia. I'd have thought Rocky Mountain High would be more fitting for the Broncos, but apparently Country Roads is becoming a thing throughout the NFL? I'm a Georgia Bulldog and don't really follow pro ball.

I don't know about Country Roads and the NFL here, but I can see it with the Broncos. I watch pro games off and on, but usually I get in on them while they're in progress and miss the start of the games unless it's the Super Bowl.

Go Chiefs! We're 7-0 and we have a war song. So there's that.

Here in the eastern part of the state, we all go for the Chiefs. The western part is Bronco's country. The saying here is, if you're heading west, switch over your Chiefs stuff for Bronco's, it makes life much easier.
