Sounds of the Amsterdam Admirals
(or: "who broke my bleep-machine?")

  • Three typical Luginbill comments.
  • Kelly Sims telling us about his job as a defensive player.
  • Luginbill not happy with a referee.
  • Maas from Fox network also not happy with a referee (we weren't pleased either).
  • Darren Bennet (went on to become NFL all-Pro!) on national kicker Hans Werdekker. (Yes, Darren is Australian).
  • Jerry Crafts on playing in Amsterdam.
  • Philip Bobo after the umptieth Amsterdam home victory.
  • Luginbill at his best. Ross and I still talk about this game... Al went down on his knees in front of his line and gave this little gem of a speech. And guys twice his size were so scared that they went out and won the game.
  • (Bill?) Walsh of 49'ers fame telling us that Admirals hold the best cards.
