i finally got my first L lens. 70-200mm f2.8L non-IS. I use it for football and the pics come out crisp. I dont even have to use a flash most of the time.

It's my work-horse lens for concert photography.

It's very good for football as long as you don't worry about stuff happening on the other end of the field-- just run down the sidelines in between plays :D. It's a marvellous lens, just got my own copy (so I don't have to borrow) last week.
