NFL teams have a single punter spot, just one spot. He would be competing against not only the incumbant punter but the best college talent and other free agents who would be younger, fitter, better versed with the sport PLUS be free of the colourful past Fevola carries with him.

I reckon he should try his hand at the World Poker Tour. At least then he could gamble

Luckily Ben Graham, Sav Rocca and Darren Bennett didnt think that way.
Yes Einstein.

But they didn't have all the issues that Febola has!
You are right. American sports dont have idiots playing for them just guys who bring guns to training and sensible things like that.
exactly his so call bad record is nothing to the US clubs heck the bloke gets boozy and blows his pay on horses ... hardly stabbing your wife , bringing a gun to training or drug trafficing or steroid abuse .... in NFL terms Fev is an angel
Michael Vick

So AFL clubs will not take Fev because he is a d**khead but NFL clubs will because they do not care according to P66.

Thats up there with no change is good for teams, AFL footballers will never become club chairmen and forwards cant play back and backmen cant play forward but if they do its because the coaches understand the roles so it shouldn't be questioned.

Magner being described as short and fat goes down IMO as the most stupid thing I have read on this site. The guy owns a number of records at the Sandy gym and is seriously built.

A lot of stupid stuff gets said on this site.

Punters get about $200,000 a year, not millions.

Yes that is correct regarding Fev. Is that what you wanted me to say? Love you to provide a link to the short and fat comment on Magner. Never saw it. I think some have said a bit slow and not skilled enough for AFL footy.

I see the point here.

BUT

Vick is a highly recognised and decorated Quarterback (a position which has 4 slots open on a roster) a team would sign him dispite his past and get fans through the gates and a star in a tough position that wins games. Fevola is an absolute nobody in a position that would take the field a handful of times a game and not infulence the outcome

BANG BANG
