Championship Games today (ie semi finals)

Vikings @ Saints

Jets @ Colts

Who's ya got ?

[OCD]

Would like to see Vikings win because I would like to see Favre back in the Superbowl. Shame it's on too late for me to watch it. I think Saints will probably win that though.

I think Colts will win the other one.

COME ON YOU SAINTS!

[sali,salifou]

I'm saying Colts and Saints. Though  I think they could both go either way

[sali,salifou]

Jets put up a good fight, but colts just too good

[usav]

Saints win in OT.

Favre, Peterson and the Vikings threw that one away, too many turnovers.

Come on you Saints!

[sali,salifou]

I'm not sure saints won that game, it might be more accurate to say the vikings lost it. Not just favre's pick, but the amount of fumbles

[UK Redsox]

James Milner would not have fumbled

I tried watching but fell asleep in the second quarter of the second match. Woke up at 4.30 shivering on the sofa. Bollocks.

I watched until half-time in the second game.

Bloody glad that the Saints went through, otherwise it would have been 2 teams that I don't like in the Superbowl.

[pmarachi]

I like the colts and the saints...

I would have rather seen the Jets, as all my friends are Jets fans, but I enjoyed watching the Saints this year.

I also really like Brees, Bush, and Vilma.

Go Saints I guess...


Now I just need to figure out which Super Bowl party to go to.

My wife's friend is actually having a birthday party on Super Bowl Sunday.

Who does that!

(The Super Bowl is a major holiday here, like Christmas, but better)

LONDON — The NFL has scrapped plans to play a second regular-season game in Britain next season.

Last week, the league announced that the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos would play at Wembley Stadium on Oct. 31. That will mark the fourth straight season in which the NFL has played a regular-season game in the British capital.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said last year that the league was considering adding a second game. But the NFL said on its Web site that uncertainty related to collective bargaining talks and the current economic climate "were critical factors in our decision not to play a second game in the UK."

"Playing one game in the UK is a significant investment. Playing a second game in the UK is an even bigger investment," the NFL said. "Our ambition to bring a second game to the UK is as strong as ever. Once the current uncertainty is resolved, we will be in a strong position to bring multiple games to our UK fan base."
