NFL Europe Notes...Coach Bart Andrus of Amsterdam continues to be the only coach
in the 6 team NFL 'AAA' league to call his own plays...Admirals looked good in
their 4-pt win over previously undefeated Frankfurt, who still never the less
looks like the team to beat for the title...Why has Coach(es) Doug Graber &
Dwaine Painter taken the passes to TEs: Josh Whitman, Verner Hippler & Kofi
Dickerson out of the play book the last two weeks? Hipple played four plays in
the 2nd half on offense, 2 @ FB, 1 @ H-B & 1 @ TE...Dickerson didn't even
play!..Whitman had one catch in the 1st qtr...Maddening, especially for
Frankfurt fans...They have the deepest TE trio in NFL E history & aren't
using them to maximum ability...I swear I don't know how Barcelona's Jack
Bicknell does it w/ the no talent roster he has but he's got my vote for Coach
of the yr. right now!..3-1, using three mediocore QBs...
Amazing...The following National players have played the best so far:
Frankfurt's Danny Benetka & Ralf Kleinmann, Rhein's Bastian Lano,
Amsterdam's Carlos Rosado (I still think Barcelona was dumb for trading him to
the Admirals in camp in Tampa!), Berlin's George Heckenbach & Scotland's
Scott Couper, the all-time leading national pass catcher in NFL E history w/ 100
recepts...James Brown the current Frankfurt starter @ QB is playing well...three
yrs. in the Arena league, & in his 2nd season in europe, he's coming into
his own...
Henry Burris played another solid game in B's loss to Scotland...Henry had 9
comp(s) in 15 attempts for 118 yds. & a TD...It's not his fault that the
other QB, ex-arena2-baller Phil Stambaugh, who started 8 games for Rhein in '01
continues to turn the ball over when he plays the 2nd & 4th quarters...Like
I said don't read too much into Berlin starting out 0-for..They did it the last
two seasons & still won the Europe Bowl here!" Moose

Hill ends running back domination of Player of Week award; Levels scoops
defensive prize
AFTER seeing running backs win NFL Europe League Player of the Week awards in
the opening three weeks of the 2003 season, Amsterdam Admirals quarterback SHAUN
HILL put an end to the streak in Week 4 as he led his team to victory over the
previously undefeated Frankfurt Galaxy.
F.C. Barcelona Dragons linebacker DWAYNE LEVELS was named Defensive Player of
the Week, while a pair of players on the losing side in Week 4 earned
recognition for their efforts. Berlin running back DAVID ALLEN was named Special
Teams Player of the Week and Frankfurt wide receiver MARC SOUMAH was voted the
top national performer.
Hill - of the Minnesota Vikings - grabbed the headlines as he completed 25 of 39
passes for 261 yards, 2 touchdowns and no interceptions (100.5 QB rating) in
helping Amsterdam improve to 2-2 with a 20-16 win over Frankfurt. Trailing 16-13
with under a minute remaining, Hill threw a game-winning 12-yard touchdown pass
to wide receiver Matthew Hatchette.
Admirals head coach BART ANDRUS said: "Shaun did a very good job. He was
productive and showed he is getting a lot more comfortable in a playing
situation. He didn't turn the ball over and any time you do that it gives you a
better chance of winning."
The aptly-named Levels - allocated by the Cincinnati Bengals - helped the
Dragons improve to 3-1 with an 11-3 defeat of the Rhein Fire on Saturday
evening. Levels led Barcelona with 9 tackles, knocked down 3 passes and snuffed
out a Fire scoring threat with an interception at his own 39-yard line that he
returned 26 yards into Rhein territory.
Allen, of the Jacksonville Jaguars, scooped Special Teams honours after
returning 4 kickoffs for 129 yards and scoring on a 74-yard return against the
Scottish Claymores. The speedy running back also added 1 punt return for 11
yards and scored on a 23-yard reception.
French receiver Soumah caught 2 passes for 26 yards during Frankfurt's loss in
Amsterdam and scored the fourth touchdown of his career on an 8-yard pass from
quarterback James Brown in the final quarter.
Soumah, who has caught 5 passes for 75 yards this season, has scored three of
his four career touchdowns in games against the Admirals.

NFL Europe Notes...How about those Barcelona Dragons?..It took three tries, but
they have found themselves a QB.. .Like I said early in the yr. in my Preview
for '03, Give Cowboy Jack Coach of the yr. if they win 2 or more games.. It's
only an 11 game season (including the Championship), so he's got my vote right
now.
But it's early...Think Berlin Coach, (re-)Pete Vaas is worried about a 'lil 'ole
0-3 start?..Guess again. They've won the Championship two yrs. in-a-row after
starting 0-for...Joerg Heckenbach is having an outstanding season which should
lead to 'Baywatch' finally being on the All-NFL E team, in his 7th
season..." Moose Salzer

Galaxy trio scoop Player of the Week prizes; Rosado earns honors against former
team
THREE members of the league-leading Frankfurt Galaxy have won Player of the Week
honors after their team's record-breaking defeat of the Berlin Thunder on
Saturday.
Running back JONAS LEWIS, free safety CALVIN SPEARS and linebacker IDRIS PRICE
played key roles in Frankfurt's 41-21 defeat of the defending World Bowl
champions, while Amsterdam Admirals Mexican wide receiver CARLOS
ROSADO completed the prize-winning quartet from Week 3.
Lewis, who played 11 games for the San Francisco 49ers in 2000-2001, rushed for
137 yards and 3 touchdowns on 24 carries. He scored on runs of 1, 7 and 5 yards
as the Galaxy registered a record 35 points in the first
quarter at the Waldstadion.
Lewis is one of just two players to have scored in every NFLEL game this season,
the other being F.C. Barcelona Dragons running back Dameon Hunter. He leads the
Galaxy with 291 rushing yards (second in NFLEL) and
leads the league with 5 rushing touchdowns.
Spears made a huge impact on the game's opening play when he recovered a
Frankfurt onside kick attempt to set up the Galaxy's first touchdown of the
night. The free agent defensive back went on to record a
team-high 6 tackles, 1 pass defense, 1 forced fumble and 1 interception to earn
Defensive Player of the Week honours.
His first quarter interception of Thunder quarterback Henry Burris was returned
28 yards to Berlin's 24-yard line and set up Frankfurt's second touchdown of the
game.
Price, allocated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, gave the Galaxy a 35-0 lead in the
opening period when he returned a fumbled kickoff return 26 yards for a
touchdown. He also added 1 special teams tackle to win the
Special Teams Player of the Week prize.
Rosado caught 4 passes for 71 yards during the Admirals' 35-17 loss to the F.C.
Barcelona Dragons in Spain, with a longest gain of 26 yards. The Mexican wideout
is in his first season with the Admirals after spending his
first five years in the league with the Dragons.
Through the first three games of the 2003 season, Rosado leads the Admirals with
a 16.4 yards-per-catch average and has reeled in 7 receptions for 115
yards.

NFL E Notes...There is a little life in a bad Barcelona squad yet, although I
still don't know why 65-yr-old coach 'Cowboy' Jack Bicknell, Flutie's coach @
Boston College is putting himself through all this...They may have found
themselves a QB in former #3 man McCann from Green Bay...He lead the team on
it's two scoring drives in a weak 10-7 win #60
all-time for Bicknell, the winningest coach in NFL E history...Now in his 11th
season, Bick is the only coach Barcelona has ever had...3 'of his former assistant's
are coaches on other NFL E teams, too!...
Watching this game was honestly like watching paint dry...Awful...Amsterdam
played w/ no sense of urgency at all, despite being @ home...They wasted a
perfectly corageous performance by LB Masa Kwaaguchi, too...8.5 tackles, 1/2
sack &
two pass breakups...Good performances also by linemates Scott Pospicil &
#98, Brown...Coach Bart Andrus must make something happed this season as
Amsterdam is the only team in this league to not yet win a Championship...They
lost two
total...Good effort by Bronco/Rhein QB Nick Rolovich in Fire's win...Rhein
continues to split QBs to good effect...Don't read too much into Berlin's 0-2
start...Henry Burris is playing well enough for them to win & remember
how Berlin went 0-2 in '01 & 0-3 last season & still won the title both
times...And I still think Berlin's coach (Re-)Pete
Vaas is the best in Europe...Several NFL teams should want him to be their
head-bench boss if they should three-peat!...
Scotland's Rowelle Blenman is now the all-time league leader in games played w/
91...He's
played WR/DB/ST...He is from the amatuer London O's where Europe coach from
Global's in San Diego, Tony Allen's son plays...Hope to meet up w/coach Allen
when Myk & I go to Scotland in Jun...Mates be sure to join Myk's
mates club - Keep the best grass-roots Footy team on the battlefield - Myk &

"In NFL E news, me & Myk are going to Scotland in Jun. - Hopefully. I
just got a nice e-mail back from both Nick Polk & David Tossell from the NFL
E today...
He's Back!!! Namely LB Masafumi Kawaguchi, to the Amsterdam Admirals. Back for
his 8th yr. as a LB. I saw him on the sidelines (he didn't start, but...) then
in the game the entire 2nd half for the Admirals in their win over Rhein, 17-15
last Sat. evening. The games are being shown on Comcast Sports on tape delayed
basis Mon. evenings on channel 35 @ 7pm, EST here in Va.Beach, VA" Moose

NFL (AAA) Europe week one report

Week one Results:
Scotland 62, Berlin 31
Frankfurt 15, awful Barcelona 13
Amsterdam 17, Rhein 15
With my other favorite Pro Football team in a funk, namely the Jay Gruden-less
Orlando Predators, my Scotland Claymores didn't let me down in weekend 1 of NFL
Eball. The Claymores hammered Jeorg Heckenbach's 2-time defending Europe Champ
Berlin Thunder(lesses), 62-31.
No less than 5 NFL E records were set as Scotland scored the last 34 pts. of the
game! They scored a combined 93 total points another record. Other records this
game included 32 pts. off Berlin turnovers, 12 TDs between the two clubs & 8
by Scotland! Ouch!
In other NFL E action Darren Bennett's mate, Vern Hippler's Frankfurt Galaxy got
by pathetic Barcelona (the rumor is they are being moved down to arena2 next
week!), 15-13 & Silvio Diliberto's 23-yd FG saved the Amsterdam Admirals,
17-15 over Nick Rolovich's Rhein Fire team. Nick got racked up a bit in the
loss, though he played well & should be able to start next week. Ralf
Kleinman's kicking saved the Galaxy, who I am sure are glad he's back after a
one yr. retirement. Ralf had retired because his restaurant had been burned down
last yr. & he needed to have it rebuilt. Hmmm...If I were a suspicious man
I'd say an angry Rhein Fire fan may torched the place but it was probably
someone from Barcelona, as bad as they are...
NFLE Standings - after one week:
Teams
Ws / Ls / Ts / OLs
1) Scotland Claymores 1 0 0 0
2) Frankfurt Galaxy
1 0 0 0
3) Amsterdam Admirals 1 0 0 0
4) Rhein Fire
0 1 0 0
5) Berlin Thunder
0 1 0 0
6) Barcelona Dragons 0 1 0 0
(is their season over yet?)
In NFL E a FG of 50 or more yds. is worth 4 pts. The two best teams qualify for
the Championship, which this yr. will be in Glasgow, Scotland, UK on June 14th.
The team w/ the best record after 5 games qualifies as does the team that
finishes w/ the best overall record @ end of the regular season, which concludes
on June 8th, also in Scotland I plan on being @ the last Scotland regular season
game as well as NFL E Bowl XI, w/ Myk of course.
