Nah I don't have Hibernian on the back of any of my jerseys. I'll need to keep an eye out for him though as I've been asked a few times if its me (he must be a handsome fella :greengrin).Quote:

In BB I no longer trust - he's gutted us top to bottom this off-season.
How stacked do the Rams look now? Scary.Quote:

Not seen much of Cooks while he was playing in NE but the Saints traded him to you partly because of his billy big baws attitude, I’m just guessing but I’m sure bellichick and the pats organisation doesn’t like that either as we see with this trade . And the Rams are happy to take any good but potentially disruptive player into there locker room [emoji848]
Apart from one tantrum I didnt see any problem with him in Nola. I think we just realised Thomas is the franchise no 1 receiver and we cant afford to pay both.Quote:

Born and raised in Bathgate mate - it's why I technically grew up a Livingston fan!

When does the Pats bandwagon start?
My mate started supporting them in 2002 SB against the Rams we just like to wind him up for supporting a Team that were in a SB and claiming he wasn't glory hunting :D Underdogs or not.
I know many people like myself started with NFL with a SB and went from there so many will end up picking a SB team to support. He got lucky but he still wind him up about it. Bit like all the Chelsea fans that popped up as soon as Abramovich came on the scene
You know I'm only playing :greengrin Can't figure out why but for some reason I genuinely thought you used to live in Dundee :confused: I know a lot of hard work, time and effort has got you to where your at but at the same time, your a lucky barsteward :aok:Quote:

Which team will overpay for Dez Bryant [emoji848]
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...8-london-games
The great news is the Chargers vs Titans game is on the 21st Oct which means we see the Seattle vs Raiders game on 14th Oct at the new Tottenham Stadium (wife is a Spurs fan) and return back to LA in time to see Bruno Mars at the Staples Center (wife is a big fan). I need to score a few points considering how many season tickets she lets me buy. Hopefully Spurs will have a home game on one of the two Saturdays or on a midweek night.
I just booked the flights before the prices go up.
Fixtures are out. GB start the season on SNF
Seahawks at Rams on November 11th then up the West Coast for Packers at Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. What a holiday in store.
Eagles have a pretty good schedule this season, Superbowl repeat is on the cards.... :greengrin
Seriously though, looking at our schedule, we should be pretty confident of getting at least 11 wins, although you can never bank on anything in football.
Giants schedule is brutal! Heading over for new year though so will get to see us against the cowgirls if I can acquire tickets!
$185 a seat at CLink? Is that standard?Quote:

Has anyone seen All or Nothing with the Michigan Wolverines on amazon? its like Hard Knocks mixed with Last Chance U. I'm 2 episodes in and its really interesting.
Aye. My cheapest seat in the house last year was that price - this year I'm struggling to get anything under $210 before fees!Quote:

Should find out more about London NFL game tickets. Not sure about Raiders tickets for Spurs new stadium but should be able to obtain. If the Chargers don't come through for me on that game I will buy aftermarket.
If you need someone to volunteer to hold your beer at the Seattle vs Las Vegas game, consider me volunteering :greengrinQuote:

Browns take Mayfield with the 1st pick [emoji33]
Giants take Barkley great pick from them [emoji106]
Darnold to the Jessies. I'll be bumping into him then.
Colts did the right thing thing selecting Nelson. They have to protect Luck [emoji106]
Bucs trade to the bills... For Allen.
AFC East could get interesting finally.
If Rosen keeps sliding I can see the Saints trading up for him 🤞 intelligent guy needs to be challenged would fit with Sean Payton

Im not familiar enough with the college game to pretend to know which of these qbs are going to work out and which aren't, but that Rosen guy is definitely the most annoying. Another reason not to like Arizona in 2018.
I hope Mayfield makes it, he seems to have a good personality and very talented as well. In regards to the Packers pick I think they done well with the trades and I haven't heard of Alexander before but the Packers fans seem happy.
I think "bemused" covers my sentiment toward our first pick. If the next pick ISN'T a prospect QB, I'll be joining Skip Bayless's camp of thinking about BB trying to repay the Patriots for making him trade Jimmy...Quote:

One of them is keen to go to an EPL game with us during the London NFL trip and he is the guy who got us on-field passes at the Cowboy stadium last Thanksgiving. I hope he can do the same for us at the Wembley game.Quote:

I don't get why, in the best draft QB class since the early 80s,you don't take a QB in the first round and instead persevere with Ryan Tannehill...Quote:

Seattle draft Shaquem Griffin, the most amazing story you can imagine, to play with his brother who we got last year.
Not trying to be cynical but I think everybody was waiting on the hawks to draft him, Good luck to him [emoji106]Quote:

He's certainly got everything else you could want.Quote:

Who Dat
Quietly chuffed with some of the Bears’ draftees :greengrin
Mixed feelings, I wanted Rosen crystal ball would have been nice and could have saved ourselves our 3x number two picks over next two years but still, Delighted with Darnold thought there was no chance but fair play Mac has done well over the past few years trying to sort of the mess Idzik left us in. AFC East is going to be very interesting over next few years especially when Brady is gone could have been even more so if Fins managed to grab Rosen.
...although Josh Allen is definitely up there as well in the 'im a cock' stakes, tweeting about white power and using the n word with regularity:rolleyes:Quote:

What we run is pretty well structured. Everyone will have a template to fill, that's a little like this:Quote:

I know it will proberbly be explained come the time but out of curiosity in this draft do you have to submit your team and bench every week and update etc like the NFL Fantasy draft online or does everyone in your team accumulate points even if on the bench?
Nah if you bench a player then they don't get points. Otherwise what would be the point of a bench!?Quote:
