Crosby is a kicker for the packers, which is a special teams position, responsible for kick offs, field goals, points after touchdowns (conversions in effect).
It’s a important position but not the most valuable in NFL. That said he still has a 3 year contract for $12 million, so a bit more than Kinsella. He is very good at what he does and only 1 of 32 players in this position in the NFL.
I wonder how much of the $2.9million has ended up in Pomletts pockets?
I reckon about $2.9m because that’s how selling your business works.

Not really how buying a business works… Usually solicitors fees etc. which are added on top of the “sales cost” of the business…
I still think Trivela are a positive, and after seeing that there is the likes of a famous American Footballist involved, and listening to Boycott, I’m much less skeptical than I was about their substance and desire.
However I can’t help thinking that we won’t really start to move forwards until Pomlett and Co are bought out and moved on.

Talking of American Football 
anyone else use to go and watch the Walsall Titans in the 80’s? Used to love it. Cheap. Amateur. Great.

I’d forgotten all about them! Never saw them play, but in my rugby playing days we had a player who turned out for the Titans. Can’t remember his name. Very fast but a complete headless chicken. I wasn’t the only one who contemplated tackling him even though he was on our side.

Danny “Woody” Macrae was the quarterback if I remember right.
I knew his son at the time he was a big lad too.
Watched the game because of comments on here and was surprised to learn Packers fans wear ‘cheese’ on their heads.
Perhaps Trivela will introduce them here!
Because of Wisconsins cheese industry.
If we had an alternative maybe we could wear giant scratchings on our head

It’s very apt really, as the yanks version of cheese is imitation cheese, and we’ve been imitating being a competitive football team for some years now.

Perhaps Roy Whalley still has a role then despite my earlier meanderings 
I’d go for a big orange chip.
I’ve often felt that an iteration of the badge should have an orange chip in the swift’s mouth.

How about giant Balti pies? Burnt, obviously.
Nothing like an orange chip
