The Gridiron
Public
This is a Twine for general information and commentary related to football (the American kind, of course.)
I saw that there were a lot of Twines set up for individual teams and I hope that this continues to happen, but The Gridiron is designed to be more all-encompassing.
"That's a team, gentlemen. And either we heal, now, as a team, or we will die, as individuals. That's football, guys. That's all it is. Now, what are you going to do?"
-Al Pacino, "Any Given Sunday"
