9/17/2003: World Mudbowl Championships

Happy Wednesday! This is a shot from the World Mudbowl Championships, which took place recently in North Conway, New Hampshire. Eight New England teams fought to win the bowl which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity.

It's "two-hand touch" American football. For our worldly visitors, this is the same as the regular game, except that you officially stop the ball carrier if you touch him with both hands. As opposed to tackling the ball carrier, where you bring him to the ground completely. In the mud it doesn't look like there's much difference...

Silly New Englanders. How can it be the WORLD championship when they're all from this little patch of the world?
