So, I take it you're trying to maintain that Professional American
Football is _NOT_ combat?

And, of course, anyone who has watched "Karate Kid" knows of the home
renovation possibilities of Killing Hands (especially combined with Distance
Strike). Hammer those nails in without leaving the comfort of your lounge
chair. :)

Nah! It's just a little light fun. I mean they don't even have guns or melee
weapons. Now urban brawl or combat biker on the other hand...

Speaking of which, I went the other way. I created an ex-SWAT physad
sniper (with some talent in close-in combat too) who uses his amateur
urban brawl career as a cover for his shadowrunning ("Sure, officer, I
know I'm carrying a high-powered sniper rifle, but I have a permit for
that. What, why am I carrying it? Well, I'm just coming back from my
urban brawl training. Gel rounds, see?").

I hope someday to have the GM let me make him a professional brawl
player. I mean, this guy could GO places.

Kewl! Careful though Night_Train got thrown out of the league for betting on
his own games. I don't know why after all he was betting on himself. He did
get a good contact out of it, in the form of his mafia affiliated bookie. Oh,
and a cool Richmond Raiders jersey. :)

I be good. :)

No, I hope to be good enough to rake in the million dollar contracts
and billion dollar product endorsements.

And I'm not a troll, so I'm not silly enough to bet on my own games.

No offense.

Nope. If you want sport as combat, watch hockey. Football's for wimps.

Troll, huh? Still, I bet I can shoot farther than you can throw. :)

Just don't come to my local football matches. I'm not allowed to bring
my guns on the field.

Gee I did the same thing with a cybered sammie. He was an ex NFL
quarterback and had the cyber you would expect. He was also kicked out
for betting on his own games (never against himseld but he would play the
points game). Of course it really sucked when someone recognized him on a
run.

myself, I had a reserve goalie for the Seattle Timber Wolves combat biker
team. Named Worg (the really big wolves from AD&D, not sure of their RL id)
he bought a job, as from Shadowbeat. Believe he had a middle lifestyle, as
long as he was on call.
He was well-known in the Stone Rhino, but during shadowruns, he wore full
armor so he was not too recognizable. Took a dragon down with the Tetsubo
once, but I think everyone has one of those stories, nay?
Also, the worst thing was when the team was going on a long run in another
country and he was called up to active status due to an injured player.

Oh great. It's a good thing for you you didn't mention that you were a
Wings fan on your GridSec application ;)

The Avs are going to win the next series of course :):):):)

All kidding aside, may the best team win.

Wings... Ha. They're good, but the Blues (even though they suck) still
kick ass! 1 - 0, they finished in overtime last night...
