The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

[ADVILLAFAN]

I'm not going, but had a great time last year.

Have fun those that are going (except the Patriots fans)....

No bloody Red Zone for the early game... the Rams better at least make a game of it.

They just interviewed someone who claimed that he had "been a St Louis fan for at least 25 years". Errr...

[DaveD]

Well, the booing of the Pats didn't last long LOL.
Heading home from Wembley now. My brother is a Rams fans, myself and my missus are Patriots. We're going easy on the poor guy...

[UK Redsox]

Well...... I suppose that the Rams did OK for the first minute or so. After that, it was one-way traffic.

Whilst it was good to see the Patriots win, a more competitive game would have been nice.

If he just said "St Louis", that's fine. He could have been a Cardinals fan before they moved. However if he was claiming to have been a St Louis Rams fan for 25 years, that's different.

He could also, like my brother, have been a Rams fan for 25 years, having followed them from Los Angeles. Just not a St Louis Rams fan.

Did you go in the FanZone/Tailgate thingy ?

It was even worse than previous years. The crowds and queues were ridiculous and the stewards way too "jobsworth". A guy in a wheelchair asked to be let out of the emergency exit but the steward said that he had to fight his way through the crowd to the opposite end of the enclosure and use the main exit.

Previously, we've at least seen some celebs on the demo-field. However this year, all we saw was 15 minutes of Neil from Sky commentating on blokes playing typical pissed-up, spin-round and try to run in a straight line games. This was followed by some absolutely abysmal rapper.

Nah, I never bother. It always looks insanely crowded. I just head into the Club section and chill out at the bar.

I can't find any video but Boris Johnson's speech was hilarious; especially the bit about American Football being derived from Rugby Union

Two games at Wemberleee in 2013.

Steelers @ Vikings on 29 September.

Indeed.  I will be combining a trip home to blighty with that one.  Let's hope there is a decent Villa game the same weekend (albeit in the Championship).

There's talk of an NFL game being held at the Olympic Stadium.

Handy, I can see it from my office window

Along with The Emirates, the OlyStad makes more sense than Wembley for any permanent London team

Indeeed it would be very funny if they put a NFL team in it and told West Ham to fuck off.

[The Left Side]

I think I heard the stat right but excuse me if I didn't, the chiefs set an unwanted record that was last achieved in 1929, they have not taken a lead in their last 27 games, that is quite rubbish even the blose take the lead sometimes.
