Just thought I'd let y'all know.....

February 28th

Murderball: The Rise of Quadriplegic Rugby--Anyone who thinks that losing mobility means losing your toughness needs to see this documentary about three quadriplegics who get into armored wheelchairs to play this violent game. They haven't let their handicaps get the better of them. They play and prove that you can get back into life after your body and spirit have been shattered. Begins at 10 pm ET/9 pm CT on A&E.

(I'm in the US of eh)

I am a bit biased on this subject as I play rugby in the local competition (Melbourne, Australia.) I have seen the movie twice at the cinemas and 15 times on DVD; I bought the DVD from the States as soon as it came out in late November 2004. It is worth every cent, trust me.

The previews look awesome, and I know several here have seen it and say it's a must-see. I'm really looking forward to watching it. I've got it written down on my calendar, and everybody in my family knows that on that night, the TV schedule is NOT debatable! :D :angry:
