The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

[UK Redsox]

I've never met a single Bucs fan.

Well, no one's gonna admit to being one at the moment

Channel 4 coverage and the early days of the NFL on Sky used to be full of them

I'm still top of my Fantasy League by half a game.

I did that team thing and the first option was the 49ers; I did start to follow them when I was first interested but only because they were good and had an interesting (to me) passing game.

Steelers/ Giants/ Patriots - If only I'd have done that online test years ago I'd support a good team!

The Thursday games must start soon - when is Thanksgiving again?

Last Thursday in November, I believe.

Life as a fan of Randy's other team

[Tony Boucher]

Right from the early interception it was clear that yesterday's Wembley game was going to be a romp for the Pats.

Even though The Golden Boy threw for over 300 yards and 3 TD's they never had to get out of second gear to beat the Bucs. If Randy Moss hadn't have had another of his "alligator arms" days, the Pats could easily have passed 50 points again.

The Bucs fans (they've always had a big following in the UK) tried their best to make it like a proper home game.

Although it wasn't a great game it was still an entertaining evening.

The Bucs have a big following over there?

Really?

I've never met a single Bucs fan.

I'm a Bucs fan, having lived on the gulf coast of Florida for a few years.  Went on Sunday & was slightly relieved it wasn't the 50-point monstering that it could've been.  
Woeful, woeful team at the moment (and for the foreseeable).  Practice on Saturday consisted of a brief session in the ballroom of the Intercontinental Hotel & it looked like that was the most they'd practiced all season!

Favre returned to Green Bay and lead the Vikes to victory with 4 TD passes.

He can retire a happy man now

E A G L E S!!!!

Beating the Giants is literally my new superbowl.

(since I know we are never getting back to the real superbowl)

Great game that.

The one time in my entire life I want the Packers to win and they balls it up. Good victory for Bears over Randy's other team, shame we can't play them every week. They really are shite.

and now the GM has been sacked after Randy said he was 'sick' after the Bears game. From a Villa point of view, his descions on coaches and GM's have been very, well, poor. It does make you wonder what would happen if he had to replace MON any time soon ?

Randy has claimed he wasnt a 'strong, credible' candidate but he has made so many mistakes it is no wonder over in Brown's land why there are serious questions over his judgement.

....and I'm still top of the league.

Having Maurice Jones-Drew, Pierre Thomas, Reggie Wayne and the Saints Defence certainly helps. I only wish I'd picked Favre ahead of Cutler as QB.

Next week Cutler will be benched as I picked up Alex Smith last week.

LAdies and gentlemen.....

I have to be honest, I hate Mangini, and even made jokes about how bad a pick he was...

But keep in mind, when he first came t the jets, they called him Mangenius.

HE isn't THAT bad a pick (I mean he was bad, but the gamble may have been worth it).  The Jets were pretty much atrocious, and they didn't give him an ption the Favre situation, and he still got them 8 wins.

Now the Jets have the same team with a different qb (keep in mind, although Favre is doing well now, he was HORRIBLE last year) and they are off to a much worse start.

Chris Johnson says we can go 10-6
Fool!
I fancy us to end 5-11
