Whatever happened to ... Darleen "Blue" Hall?


Darleen Hall was a star linebacker for the New York Sharks from 2000-2004. Originally from Michigan, Hall moved to New York and attended Eugene Lang College/New School University.

Hall was nicknamed "Blue" because she colored her hair blue at the time.

Once "Blue" became a starter in 2001, she regularly was one of the leaders on the team in tackles and interceptions. She still holds the team record for most interceptions in a game with two and until 2006, had the longest interception returned for a touchdown of 80 yards.

After the 2004 season, Hall moved to Portland, Oregon. There she played for the Shockwave from 2005-2008. After a brief stint in Kentucky, Hall has settled in Illinois and just finished her 10th season in women's football while playing for the Chicago Force.

We caught up with "Blue" at the 2009 IWFL Championship Game held in Round Rock, Texas. You can watch her interview on YouTube below:
