God Save The Queen was butchered

Liking Sky's coverage thus far.

Enjoyed the game earlier. Much better than Giants-Dolphins.

Shame Bush wasn't playing, but didn't detract from the game as it turned out. Glad the Saints won.

It's a gooseberry fool pitch and started falling apart almost immediately. Thankfully because it wasn't raining at the time, the damage isn't too bad. Still, I expect the retarded groundsmen to not fix it and then blame the NFL when the pitch is gooseberry fool for the next England game.

The atmosphere was absolutely awesome this year, much better than last years. The majority of the crowd were supporting the home team and were more involved in the game. Really enjoyed it, and it was a fantastic game as well! The only thing it lacked were sacks. A missed extra point, an interception, a fumble, an onside kick recovered and the most bizarre safety I've ever seen. F**king superb!!!

If there are two International Series games next year, only one will be in the UK. If Germany get overlooked again after their undying support for NFL Europe then something is very wrong with the world.

[Rax]

I'm a little surprised they didn't get the original International Series game last year. NFL Europe was basically NFL Germany after all, I think they had 5 of 6 teams at one stage. Id expect next year to have one in Berlin and one in London, maybe even on the same weekend. There seemed to be a lot of continental types around on Sunday so the support is obviously there on the continent, the only problem I can see with there being a game in Germany would be a language problem, which is probably why they went with London in the first place.

Wouldn't mind seeing one in Dublin, the stadiums there if someone from the GAA can be arsed to suggest the idea. They played a pre-season game there before and a game between Notre Dame and Navy, so they obviously have the facilities in place to accommodate the sport Don't think it will happen but it would be nice.

[Corazon de Leon]

I'll be attending next year - I have the game recorded to watch when I have time. Sounds like it was fantastic.

This thread needs a bump.

What the strawberry float happened Cleveland! Doing so well on Quinns debut, looked like he was the spark they needed to get back on track, went to bed, woke up and they had fallen apart in the 4th quarter. What the hell has happened that team? They knew how to win last year.

In other news DeAngelo Hall got released meaning he earned $1mil a game. Another troubled star for Dallas to rescue?

[YouSmellOfWee]

Bloody hell Ken Whisenhunt! What were you thinking?! The Cardinals hadn't been able to run the ball at all during the game, but were completing passes at will... 2 minutes left, they make a short pass for 7 yards, 3yds to go, 5pts up, San Fran have no time outs. Get the 1st Down and it's game over, one more pass and it's all done... So they run it twice unsuccessfully! gooseberry fool punt gives the ball to the San Fran on the 40yd line, 1 minute on the clock, no time outs. The Cardinal defence suddenly turns shite and lets them get to the 2yd line with 4seconds left on the clock. They get jammy and stop San Fran from scoring. Bloody immensely tense game with some comedy play calling throughout, and a game that the Cardinals should have won with ease had the refs not been blind and had Ken not been a retard with his playcalling.

That said, Kurt Warner had yet another awesome game. 32/42 passes, 328yds, 3TDs and 0 INTs.

[YouSmellOfWee]

Kurt Warner... League MVP. BELIEVE!

Just a reminder to all you eejits out there

I didn't post this last time properly.


Ok on the off chance anyone wants to here it goes. My University American Football Team is doing a 4 day (9am-7pm each day)sponsored excercie bike ride in the middle of York City Centre in order to try and raise funds for kit. We have the (volunteer) coaching staff and a sizeable player rosta but we're missing the funds to get pads and helmets and other equipment, this is the main barrier to us and if anyone would like to sponsor us that would be great.

Thank You

I've just been listening to some great NFL themes. Some are simply brilliant.

Type 'NFL Music' into YouTube.

MNF doesn't look too interesting, but I'll imagine I'll watch it anyway considering I've only been awake for ten hours.
