It’s Peanut here and we’re on our final day of this year’s UK summer tour. I believe this is the third or fourth year I’ve come across the pond with the Bears and it really never gets old.<\/p>\n
For one, I just like England. And two, I like helping out at the youth flag football football clinics. When I started doing this, I would ask the kids how many of them have played American football before and really no one raised their hand. Now when I ask, three-fourths of the kids have already played American football in some way, shape or form. I think that’s growth. To me, that’s a sign that, whether we’re in the London area, Manchester, Liverpool, Loughborough, Birmingham, no matter where we are, more and more kids, when I ask that question, their hands go up. So, we’re growing the game here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s Peanut here and we’re on our final day of this year’s UK summer tour.
