Andersen is now seven years into his wine-collecting retirement in the States, and Elming has moved on to hosting Denmark’s “Dancing with the Stars.” Both have been inducted into the Danish American Football Federation’s hall of fame. A new flag bearer for American football is needed in Denmark. As it happens, the University of Connecticut has the six-foot-nine offensive tackle Andreas Knappe, nicknamed Thor, who is from Silkeborg and played for the Triangle Razorbacks a few years ago. CBS Sports recently called Knappe, a junior, “one of the most intriguing players in college football this season.”


As my first year went on,” Knappe told a reporter, “I started to understand what was going on. I wasn’t running around like a chicken with his head cut off. I knew the game. I understood the game. There are still some things I had to work on. The game was not as sophisticated when I played in Denmark.”

Yeah I mean I definitely pulled the #s out of my you know what, but I don't think we can use The New Yorker as evidence of our NYC Market domination.

This wasn't the first mention. Awhile back they had an article about weird stuff you come across at flea markets. The author was impressed by a bottle opener that played the UConn fight song. I thought everybody had one!

Ha that's great. I did have one of those but I think my GF ended up throwing it out after I used it incessantly.
