Now that he's in Japan, Indianapolis Colts running back Edgerrin James is finding out things aren't so bad after all.
James, a two-time NFL rushing champion and three-time Pro Bowler, threatened not to take the long 14-hour flight to Japan for Saturday's American Bowl against the Atlanta Falcons, but said Friday he's glad he made the trip.
"We're gonna have some fun here," James said after a morning practice at Tokyo Dome. "We always have a good time on this team. I've been getting out to see a few things and the fans have been great to me."
