Sav making his mark in the US

Saw a big spread in the Herald-Sun the other day on former AFL (Australian Football League) players, turned NFL punters Ben Graham and Saverio Rocca. Big Sav has joined the Philadelphia Eagles this season, and in doing so, became the NFLs oldest "rookie".

Big Sav made the news back in Australia when he was cleaned up by a Baltimore Ravens player after punting the ball 65 yards. It was a fairly dirty play, but by the same token, I'm sure I've seen the big bloke cop harder hits in the AFL, when he wasn't wearing all that padding!

In case you missed it, here's the "hit", that made the news.

Sav Rocca - Welcome to the NFL

I'm guessing that Eagles tickets will become highly sought after by Aussie tourists in the US!

Even if you're not into football, AFL or NFL, you might get a laugh out of it if it also involves Will Ferrell and tight yellow shorts!
