    Im not sure if anyone knew this, but when Eric was doing bits of study in Melbourne, Australia he started out coaching a small gridiron team called the Kew Colts. This place was only about 30 mins drive from my house lol. Also, when he was here he was keeping close tabs on Ben Grahams AFL career as a young player. Hes been watching Graham since the early 90s.

    To think of it... it was my fellow Australians that started the legend that is Eric Mangini

    Australia kicks arse. It is quite strange that Mangini is now Grahams coach after all those years.

    I think he's the one who tried to bring him here in the 1st place so it's not that strange.

    I just checked out The New York Jets Website and came across ben giving punting lessons to a female T.V. reporter. It comes under 'Ben Graham coverage'. I can't wait for the video they did downunder in February.

    Go to Sportsnet NY then across to Jets Nation and then scroll down the episodes.

    Here's the link.
