Well first off gotta get this off my shoulder but i'm also a Jaguars fan. Also I got into NFL by playing the Madden series, how'd it all start? heres the ever so interesting story! I was in P.E Class and our teacher had to go somewhere that day so he left u with the movie "Remember The Titans" I saw 3/4 of it before it was lunch and I loved it, so a few days later I went to the video store and rented it, I saw they had madden 99 as well so I took that too. I started playing Madden 99 using the Raiders (stupid stupid me...) anyways at first I only did long throws because I sucked so much then after a while I lost interest and I went to a friends house and played madden 01 so after that I kept talking to my friends about it and they started liking it as well so I bought Madden 04 and my friends bought a ball so now we are always throwing the ball to each other, thats how I started liking NFL, oh and I've never liked Rugby..

umm go LaDainian Tomnilson!

Rock on! Welcome to the boards! Just curious if you are a Darren Bennet fan? (sorry I just had to ask)

[DanLe22]

He's ok I guess...

[Chargers]

Ah aight - I wasn't sure how big of a fan you'd be of his considering he's a fellow Aussie.

Nice to see a fan from down under. My family was in Australia last year for six weeks, what an awesome time, man I wish I saw this post then we could have hooked up

Hi People,

I'm a chargers fan from Melbourne Australia & I basically got into the NFL thanks to Darren Bennett. I'm also a Melbourne Demons supporter who he played for in the AFL.

I went to the Chargers vs Cowboys game in Sydney quite a number of years ago & it was great.

Hey guys!
I am a Chargers fan, have been since I saw Dan Fouts play John Elway and the Broncos on TV in the late 80's. Also played football for seven years here in NZ. Good to see that we have fans here down under :). I get to go to LA a lot and if all goes well I will be at Qualcomm Stadium for the Browns game 5/11.:Beer::Beer::Beer:

Hi, I noticed this was fairly old but i though i'd post anyway.
I'm from Sydney, Australia and have been following the Chargers for a few years now. Very disappointed at the playoff loss to the Patriots althought still a great year.

Cheers
