American Football Thread

[Scrooge]

While our cousins across the sea are having their fun and games kicking around a ball, I figure (probably only me) would like an American Football thread...

Well I am a fish fan,add in my Spurs team and this year sucks..thank heaven for the Yankee's and the Kings.

So far we are a perfect 0 - 4 and not even looked like we are going to win a game [:#]..we will of course charge back in the second half of the season to insure we get a bad draft pick.

David: Honestly why American football? There is soccer and football. People play football and posers play soccer.

(No, I promise, I am not trying to start a fight, honest)

Dude, who watches American football, seriously? [:$][:$][:$][:$][:$][:$]

Go Watford!

...then there is Rugby, a bit like your American Football but without all that milquetoast namby-pamby padding... A game for real men! [:p]

While I agree with you in many ways and having played rugby...American football take full contact to a whole new level...

That should be..... a game for real men - who can't understand the basic rules of football (if the myth of W.W.E is to be believed)

As for my choice of Stateside teams

Well for the 'padded game' it's the Jets - so no chance of glory there

As for Baseball - well that's the Giants and they've been c**p this year too

Thank god it's glory all the way with West Ham [:w]

True But they got of to a perfect start to the season going 3 - 0 and they still top the NFC west.

I think you will find the 49ers are 2-2 and are 3rd in the NFC west.

I love American football ....and the friendly banter sitting in the ESPN bar in disney watching the college bowls is hard to beat [y]

I have to own up to being a huge American Football fan[:I]

This stems from the late 70's when I played touch football with a bunch of ex-pats in Hyde Park. Since then i have been to pro games (Charges and the Bucs), College Games, the Bull and Brigham Young and even a local High School game:D:D

Mrs Buns & I now eagerly look forward to Sunday evenings when we switch on Sky at 6 and catch the first game and a little of the second.

For what its worth, I think this year is going to be a re-run of last with the Colts and the Patriots seeming to be unstoppable at the moment.

good point my mistake[:I]. I keep thinking they beat Pittsburgh for some strange reason[?]
I really need to keep up with the tables alot more.
