Alex Smith in the UK

Stuuk · 2010-02-06T04:41:34-08:00

Alex has been in the UK since Thursday and i've been trying to follow the media work he has been doing. Mainly he has been on some National radio stations such as BBC Radio 1, 5Live and Talksport. Also he has met with the England Rugby Team and interviewed with Sky (TV), newspapers and the BBC. Currently answering questions from the public on a popular national radio show on Radio 1. He's coming across really well with some good insight into the game. Most questions have been on the Superbowl but also some bits on the NFL in general and the 49ers. I haven't been able to find any of the radio segments as links but Alex has expressed how he is looking forward to next season in particular: - The continuity they have carrying over (Same OC etc) - It will be a dissapointment if they dont win the division next year, thats the teams expectation - Peyton Manning is the only QB in the NFL Smith looks up to. He gave a reason why he doesnt look up to the others but I cant remember 100% the term he used.

I have, but this time he was surrounded by two active ones. He also promised he'd get them to the Super Bowl.

The haters now criticise the way Alex talks. Later, it will be the way he stands, then how he styles his hair.
