TOUCHDOWN!
I love my NFL - my team are the 49ers, if you're wondering. I got into it a bit last season, and really into it this, so it was great to hear that we'd be playing at Wembley as part of the International Series. Obviously, tickets were like gold dust, so couldn't get any, but I watched the 3-hour epic on Sky, and loved every second of it.
The first three quarters weren't great, but Q4 was the best I've seen for a very long time. Now we lost our quarterback for the game, Alex Smith, which was an absolute blessing. I don't rate him at all - we pay him an extortionate amount, but he does nothing but stand there throwing to the opposition all day. No wonder we've been losing.
So in came TROY SMITH, a rookie QB who only signed for us at the start of September. It was the first time an African-American QB had started for the 49ers, so that was a bit of history in itself. But bloody hell, he's good.
He can throw whilst running, which is the first sign of a great QB. His passes are pin-point - I only counted one that went astray yesterday. He's quick, and has great footwork too, and is also willing to get himself forward to, to score that elusive TD we've been missing all season.
He got that touchdown yesterday, and threw a fair few killer passes too. His vision is great too. We gained 21 points within 8 and a half minutes in the 4th quarter. Admittedly, we need a bit of work on our defense, but today, we found a future star of the sport.
TROY SMITH, you are the Day Dedicatee for Sunday 31st October 2010.
