One park that I have played at in the past is Foster/Austin park. Basically a wide open space, close to 90 at the Foster exit. Not fancy, but good enough for you schlubs.

Taken from B&B section. Going to toss out November15th as a possibility since the Bears play on Thursday night that week. We can pretty much play anywhere since we don't need to reserve a gym. Thoughts? |

i can run straight and throw... i can't turn, plant, cut, or rotate my hips as much as I would like. plus, falling or getting two handed touched in the back = bad. |

Rather than 3 completions, I'd go by distance (2 cones or so). I have some cones and flags/belts. In other words, I'm in. |

As soon as you and Killer V are lined up opposite of one another. |

Think I'm in. Maybe we can get Steve Sabol and crew to document it in short film.  Including testimonials from Doug Buffone, OB, Coach, Mike Murphy, Uncle Terry, Pappy, etc... I can just hear the NFL films music library in my head now. Steve Sabol > Elmhurst Steve |

I actually like 4 downs to get to midfield, 4 downs to the end zone. I play in a regular game on Sundays and we use a full length field (with anywhere from 5 on 5 to 8 on 8 ) with cones at about every 15 yards or so. You have to get past two cones for a first down. We also limit running plays to 1 per possession. It seems to work pretty well. |
