Yes, he did. All the more reason why Yankee football is superior to football. No mention was made of a rugby ball but perhaps LH doesn't know of rugby. If so, LH, stay away from it. It's played in much the same manner as you have described except it's an extremely boring game when compared to Yankee football.

Don't get me wrong, I love watching rugby and I do so regularly... but it pales in comparison to Yankee football.
