12

I'm hooked. Hooked on the NFL. Totally sucked in. I know that they wear helmets and pads & as a New Zealander & a rugby supporter (ex player), we find that a bit soft. Nonetheless it is a very addictive game once you get your head around the technical side of it. I'm a debutant & have even ordered a 'Football for Dummies' book on Amazon.

I'm a Seattle Seahawks supporter (Go Hawks) probably because I like their fan base. The fans are known as the 12 as they act as the twelth man on the field. Their home ground has the NFL stadium record for noise. So, I'm now one of the 12; even bought the shirt.

Never fear. I remain an All Blacks supporter first and foremost. Nothing will change that. I'm just thoroughly enjoying the NFL.
