to go out to moscow. and finally the appropriately named moscow black storm defied the elements to reach the final of the russian american football championship after edging the moscow patriots twenty thirteen yet all the pretty much talk was about n.f.l. quarterback tim thibeault which i'm portrayed explains all. trying to gain a foothold in the russian sports market isn't easy football ice hockey and biathlon rule the roost leaving little room for minority sports such as american football however one club has raised the profile of the game of the past fortnight by making an all day she says attempt to sign n.f.l. star tim thibeault after taking their cue from a ploy in english soccer back in one thousand nine hundred one tell us why small clubs to sign high profile players is nothing new such as arrest a city's attempted nine hundred eighty one to sign the legendary does try to johan croy if. they wanted to bring tim thibeault to the russian capital budget offering

before the denver broncos quarterback one million dollars just to play two games for them unfortunately for russian n.f.l. fans thibeault was a no show despite the twenty six year old currently being without a team not even the too much for you of one million dollars to persuade the twenty six year old former heisman trophy winner to swap the streets for russia however for black storm chairman mchale's ultimate said they did everything they could to get t.-bo in moscow you can pay them in those little games they will go he said all right the deposit the money they saw it and then the sudden the something. about insurance you want these them then finally be told everything is it all right in the me is a listen we can't be true for that much but then we took we did everything and they had to say yes and they just and we couldn't go to boy american football is on the rise in russia with a fledgling league growing from four to nineteen teams in just three years well

this season professional players from the u.s. have been brought here to raise the standard and boost interest call israel who played collegiate football for the us c.f. knights was drafted in last minute to replace t.-bo and he jumped at the chance to play in russia. he's missing now he's. now because when i after i played here in august i said the biggest thing was this is the most fun i played at division one level in the usa the plate is very high level this is the most fun i've ever had playing football is over here so a million dollars for two weeks i don't know how it passes that up but i'm glad he did israel and he flew into moscow of a day before the game and the conditions couldn't have been more different to his native florida the quarterback just like everyone else on the field had real trouble in the first off with a bull like a bar of soap but it's very nice to the standard improved with israel for the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter and the black storm hung on to see the

twenty points the big sharee first of all you got to give a lot of credit to the patriots their great team a great organization and have had a lot of success for a long time here the field conditions are not exactly what we would have wanted to play and it was pretty sloppy i had a couple of passes that flew up in the air but the support from the crowd being cold and rainy that was really nice to see over two thousand fans braved the elements even though the game was broadcast live on russian state television american football will probably remain a minority sport of of the seeable future but it's tearing marketing ploy of t.-bone in moscow might well be the hail mary that starts a new russian sporting trend richard humble for me topsy moscow. and that's all from this post game.
