Only been to Spurs once so don't remember. Many pubs by the ground?

Spoilt for choice. There's the Irish centre near White Hart Lane station, or a couple of nice pubs one stop further down. Without any Spurs fans, even more choices.

Sounds better than Wembley then.

Bears Packers to be played there please.

Preferably when Rodgers is injured...

Andrew Luck signs new 6 year contract with Colts. worth a record $140M.

On a side note is really already 4 years since Colts and Dolphins fans were displaying the rather unfortunate "Suck for Luck" banners, imploring their players to lose and secure 1st draft pick.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but has anyone used Game Pass in the UK?  I am considering it for the first time as I don't want to get Sky.  Just wondering if it is worth it or if there are any other channels showing highlights/occasional games?

I've just renewed for a fourth year. It's really good, especially if you have a Chromecast, as you can cast from your device to your main tv. Only downside is that the Sky games are blacked out, but you can watch them later, and the good news is they've exempted the playoffs from blackout for this year.

I've only watched it for 1 off games, by was good.

Think if I didn't have Sky  I'd order it

Tony Romo has broken a bone in his back and is out until at least mid-season.

That puts the Cowboys' plan to outscore opponents due to their rubbish Defence under greater scrutiny

Kaepernick has upset the masses. Fair enough I'd say, land of the free and all that.

It's stupid that they have to have an anthem before every single game anyway. Save it for the Superbowl.

He's gone up in my estimation.

[cdbearsfan]

Although he's gone down in my estimation for quoting Ian Duncan Smith on his Twitter page!

They're obsessed with the anthem and the flag.

[cdbearsfan]

Indeed. Weirdos.

[ADVILLAFAN]

I've often thought 'do they not get bored?', standing up for the anthem every single day. Kind of takes away the meaning and specialness of it surely?

Even if I heard a song I loved every single day, I think I'd get bored of it.
