Laudadio not to be seen much this summer, again.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share with all of you that I am playing professional women’s football in Pittsburgh this year. The Passion competes in the National Women's Football Association (NWFA), a five year old, 40-team league, headquartered in Nashville, TN. The Passion is a member of the Northern Conference and plays an 8 game regular season schedule. Two bye weeks are built into the schedule that runs from April and June each year. The season concludes with three rounds of playoffs and a championship game during June and July. The teams play according to standard NFL rules, with the following notable exceptions; TDY size football, only one foot in bounds required following a reception and no blocking below the waist down field. http://www.pittsburghpassion.com/ The whole concept is all pretty crazy! Some of the girls could bench press me at least 107 times for breakfast. All of our home games are played at Cupples Stadium on the South Side of Pittsburgh. I know all of you are familiar with tail gaiting! Our home opener is April 21st @ 7pm. If you can’t make it, check out Fox Sports or Comcast on Demand for live television coverage. Also, Fox Sports Radio will be broadcasting. Initially, I was trying out to be a Defensive Back to due my power-lifting, bone crushing tackle tactics (all taught to me on the river by Scott during training) but I opted out for Place Kicking instead. I actually kicked for my high school football team and decided it was the safest route in this business! I am the starting place kicker for extra points and field goals. Also, I have been playing a lot of guitar lately and writing my own music. Due to football, the music has been put on the back burner but I will have some acoustic shows around Pittsburgh this fall. I’m actually looking for another guitar player to accompany me at some gigs. If anyone is interested let me know! I just made a myspace music page too. www.myspace.com/cristylaudadio

I hope this finds you all well.

Ciao,

Laudadio

Rudder (aka Iyed) is doing great! He said that he is ready for his birthday next month too! He has managed to eat an entire couch and coffee table in one sitting but other than that, he is an amazing dog! Let’s have a doggy birthday bash!
