The NFL is considering discontinuing the NFL Europe league, its only version
of a farm league. The owners might talk about eliminating the league when
they meet Wednesday and Thursday in New York. They could decide to end the
league for next season, but it's more likely that during the next several
years it will be determined that the venture is no longer worth their time,
energy and money. Several NFL sources said NFL Europe is a cash eater. Many
owners believe not enough players develop sufficiently in the league
Sounds like the moneymen are winning over those enthusiastic enough to take
the game to the rest of the world, but its been that way from the start I
guess.
As for developing players, thats a bit of a misnomer. They rarely send any
players that they really are considering developing for fear of injury or
offending the player's ego. It's more a case of developing those that happen
to shine in NFL Europe and cutting those that don't.

The Claymores will hold a 'pep rally' at the St. Enoch's centre, Glasgow,
this Thursday, April 11, from 6.30pm-8pm. Players, coaches, cheerleaders
and the infamous mascots will be in attendance.
I wouldn't normally encourage people to break the 10' exclusion barrier
around mascots such as Shuggie and Hamish but there is the possibility that
the Glasgow police will be busy elsewhere, probably placing exclusion orders
on cuddly toys because they inevitably lead to 'people size' mascots which
could lead to these mascots inciting the children to riot inside stadia.

Their front office obviously appreciates that the best place to get the team
seen is in the town centre. No doubt those passers by who stopped to look

persuaded to go to the next match.

Fan Open Day at Murrayfield
The Claymores' Fan Day at Murrayfield was probably the best attended of
any I have seen in the Edinburgh area in recent years. The weather couldn't
have been better with bright sunshine and clear skies. It might not have been
as warm as Tampa but for Scotland you won't find many better days in the
month of May.
Several hundred people turned up at the backfields of Murrayfield to meet
this season's team. Unfortunately this was the point where the Claymores' PR
hype
(see http://www.claymores.co.uk/news/2002/04/02fanday.shtml)
met reality and a number of organisational blunders/misdirections? became
apparent.
I can understand the team not actually training inside the stadium I think
even the most optimistic fan realised that wasn't going to happen and that
the Murrayfield backfields were where the action was going to be, despite
the Claymores' website showing a picture of the inside of the stadium with
the caption
" Murrayfield is the venue for the fan open day "
Add to that a lack of public conviences, leading to people using the nearby
Murrayfield Wanderers (Rugby) Club House (much to the Club's annoyance).
Security guards turning back fans from entering the hired suites in the
stadium after the MC had announced to everyone that the suites were open.
The team lunching
"..with their supporters inside the stadium"
, (only they
were lunching in one room and the supporters in another).
the cost of buying
snacks (1.00 stlg. for a mars bar - normal price about 35p, 2.50 for a
hamburger)
... and we begin to realise that although great things may be demanded
from the team this season, the general management obviously doesn't feel the
need to show them the way.

"Claymores high-powered offence taking on the team's hard-hitting defence"
were;
"interactive Claymores Experience ",
"club mascot Shuggie" and
"Claymores high-powered offence taking on the team's hard-hitting defence"
Grudgingly accepted from the PR advertising;
"the Claymores Fan Open Day will also feature the club's cheerleader squad"
6 girls were there and did a dance routine for the crowd and signed
autographs (nice girls, very good with the kids, but doesn't constitute a
'squad' in my book. Poorest turnout for a while )
"the new squad being put through their paces by head coach Dahlquist"
- The offence , unopposed, showed several different formations they might use
in a match (about 3 or 4) as called by the offensive coach. Then the defence
(with a little bit more enthusiasm despite also having no opposition) showed
a similar number of formations as called by the defensive coach.
Coach Dahlquist said a few words along the lines of 'thanks for being great
fans and supporting us today' and that was it.
I don't have any problems with that but it seems that several years back
(at Meadowbank) they at least made a better job of it and could go a long way
towards making it better yet.
Happily accepted as advertised;
"final of the Claymores Bowl"
The youngsters playing flag football had an
appreciative crowd and were warmly applauded for their efforts. Several
Claymores' players joined with the spectators in cheering them on.
"The gridiron stars will mingle with fans, sign autographs, pose for pictures."
They all seemed willing to do this and its appreciated. They probably don't
enjoy answering the same inane questions over and over again but they all
bore them stoically. The kids love getting autographs (although with some
trepidation, as some of these guys must look like giants to them. ) and one of
my sons was pleased to be recognised by a returning player (Robert
Flickenger), such small things make up for the disappointments elsewhere.
While most of the organisational blunders/mishaps/apathy by the general
management have been quickly forgotten by the children in favour of the
things the players have written or said to them, they really shouldn't be
relying on the team to pull their event out of the fire.
I go to put faces to team names, so any event where the team is present is a
succesful one for me but the Claymores Front Office should note that the
first thing my two year old daughter said to her grandmother was "Shuggie
wasn't there, Granny !"
In a related note to the last sentence above, their was an article in the
Sunday Post about the Claymores' mascot now being banned from going within
10 feet of any children at Hampden stadium and also from going into the crowd.
This is a legacy left to us from the soccer mascots aparently, where they
have been accused of inciting violence from the supporters.
Strathclyde police are unwilling to concede an exception to the Claymores
even although it is an entirely different sport based on families with young
children having fun. (Absurdity reigns supreme among the blinkered police
bureaucrats of Glasgow)
Thankfully Lothian and Borders police, who will be responsible for the
game at Murrayfield have no such restrictions, so there will be at least
one match where my daughter will get to shake hands with Shuggie

Some of the unusual tags that teams have been placing on players have been
explained by NFL Europe. The 48 man roster will include two practice squad
players who will be inactive for matches and available to any team that has
injuries and also two active players who are available to play but can also
be re-assigned to any team that needs them .
NFL Europe has named the following as practise squad players
QB Ken Mastrole (Admirals)
LB Kevin Rollins (Admirals)
DB Eugene Clinton (Dragons)
TE Robby Snelling (Dragons)
QB Cleo Lemon (Thunder)
DL Jesse Warren (Thunder)
Thanks to the NFL Europe website for that explanation.
I guess what NFLE have done is to create the nucleus of a reserve team,
out of the guys who were at camp, who will be given first option to join
another team when there are injuries. This isn't so different from what they
did last year only they had no players obviously designated and they had to
fly them over as and when.
