American Football

[Jake Bannister]

Just wondering if anyone else watches American football?

Never really seen it before but since its been on t.v over here (and getting bigger) I've actually enjoyed watching it.

Clue 6: Go Raid A Nissan Duke Slyly To Annoy Neil Diamond

 

[TomWolvesFC]

I watch it yeah (and occasionally play it actually!), it's really good fun to watch and the NFL is such a perfect rounded franchise!

 

[Jake Bannister]

Being on sky and channel 4 now shows how big it's getting, would love to go to the games at Wembley.

 

[redblood]

Really starting to get into the NFL

Only downside is the constant stop in play

 

[mattmeir]

The stops in play are perfect for grabbing snacks.
Or checking on the results of your own team

 

[Jake Bannister]

Exactly, its more or less entertainment and sport in one, not to mention the cheerleaders

 

[mattmeir]

What cheerleaders? Hahaha

IT LIVES!

TFF-alyspe coming so soon after Jerry Jones being named exec of the year can't be a coincidence.

How long until you get banned from here then CF?

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Depends how long it takes Ravenbish to turn up and say something mean about Neil Reynolds.

 

[.V.]

No one puts Neil Reynolds in the corner, you know that.

I'm sorry for dumping you out of the fantasy league, only to lose by 0.5 points in the final. I let both of us down.

Packers vs Patriots Superbowl please.

Views on Cardale Jones?

Welcome back.

 

[Stagat]

So long as the Packers win it.

Anyone but New England, really.

edit: at Rene's final scenario

 

[kieran_vale]

Oi Stagat, no need.

I won't be shocked if we lose tomorrow. Andrew Luck is probably due a win against us. Depends if BB will unleash Jonas Gray from the doghouse or not.

Seahawks will take down the Packers I fear. Think Beast Mode will just be too much for their D to handle.

PS does this mean I now have to defend my Fantasy League Championship Belt now?

 

[Aberstone]

I can't see it happening, the Colts are far too one-dimensional on offense and Belichick will have something up his sleeve to throw Andrew Luck off his game.

 

[Posh Hammer]

Always been a big Patriots fan since living over in the States for a year back in 2008. Since moving to Dubai, I haven't been able to watch as much as i'd like (I use to be a 3 games every sunday kind of guy when I was living in UK), but I still check nfl.com every monday morning.

Fair comment and hey Vegas agrees but I'm not writing off the Colts. I was very impressed with the press coverage they used on Denver and will be a big challenge to overcome. That said where there's Gronk there's hope.

On a side note does anyone know if Jimbob or Kim Mitten have been given the link to here?

 

[Aberstone]

With regards to Jimbob, I could sign up (again) onto the NFLUK forum and PM him there. No idea on Kim Mitten.

By the way, you have unknowingly provided me with Patriots updates for the past 3 years, so thanks for all your postings on the old site!

 

[kieran_vale]

All part of the service PH (technically the likes of Adam Schefter and Greg Bedard on Twitter are really to thank).

You watching tomorrow?

 

[Posh Hammer]

Its a late one for me but I definitely will be. Is it 4:30PM ET (01:30 UAE Time) from what I can recall?

One of our presenters at the radio station I work at is a huge Colts fan so we're heading to a yank bar out here to watch. Monday will be fun at work.

 

[kieran_vale]

I think it's a little later than that around 6:40 ET or so be about 03:40 UAE time if my maths isn't totally off.

I know that they alternate the first and last games between the AFC and NFC each year but with the other game being played on the West Coast that is a rather earlier start time than they will be used to. Probably got it the wrong way around this year.

It's bizzare that the west coast game is the earlier of the too.

Primetime loves TFB.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Has Ravenbish made it over? (I love him really)

I posted summat on the fantasy league page on the off chance any of the stragglers see it at some point.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Fuck, he's online now. If I'd waited 2 mins I wouldn't have had to admit my true feelings.

He's posted in the League 1 section, so I'm sure you'll be reunited shortly.

Missed you Carel

 

[Posh Hammer]

Actually can't wait for the game tonight. Have always despised the Colts, as they have traditional been our biggest rivals since I started watching. Like I said before, I'm a bit rusty as I haven't been able to properly watch for 3 years so a couple of questions:

Has Andrew Luck lived upto the hype of being the most predictable number one pick in recent years?

Has Gronk's arm held up over the past couple of years or does he still have problems?

Does the AFC look as strong as the NFC or will it be whoever wins the Packers/Seahawks game will end up as superbowl winners?

Help me out! I feel stupid!

I miss big kev on a sunday! Is he still going on Sky?
