None of the early games really caught my eye to be honest, I'm wilting for some of the later ones.Quote:

I decided to go a run so I've missed most of the first quarter of the Michigan game but we lead 14-3 and are about to get the ball back again.Quote:

Gardner looks very comfortable, Toussaint is solid and Gallon has caught well so far. Encouraging but we are playing Central Michigan...
Good stuff, so good its back though.Quote:

We're 35-6 up at half-time so not exactly a competition sadly.
Alabama score with their first touch of the ball.Quote:

Just watched the Oregan game with my mate (Oregan alumni). Got quite boring very quickly, too easy.
Virginia Tech coming back at Bama a little...
4th quarter just getting underway in Ann Arbor - 56-6 to Michigan...
Don't know about you but I haven't been That impressed with Alabama so far. Their D looks good as usual but very little offence.Quote:

Read this interesting article on the amazing Grantland site. What is everyone's view on a London based franchise? Personally I wouldn't root for them as I feel I've devoted too much emotionally to the Jets over the past decade.

I don't see it becoming a reality in all honesty - too many logistical problems and imagine the cost and time-zone adjustments for the team having to travel to the USA every other weekend...Quote:

Like you AH, I've put too much into the Patriots and despite no longer living in New England, I still feel a connection to the Pats despite the distance to Foxborough.
However, the thought of being able to go to Wembley every other week during the season and watch live NFL games is an appealing prospect, so long as they don't price it to a degree which is unattainable for the normal fans. They get away with the higher prices for the one off games but they'd need to drop the price if it were to become a more regular thing.
I would go a long to see them play but I would be a Pats fan still. I couldnt change team. I have no idea what people do when their team moves!
Just finished watching the Georgia @ Clemson great and it was a cracker, didn't know it was about 4 and a half hours long though :dizzy:
If NFL expansion were to happen surely there are some American cities more deserving than London like LA for exampleQuote:

Got a family celebration over the weekend however I have game pass loaded on to the iPhone for NFL on the go :thumbsup:
Less of the Gronk chat. I'm hoping this boy Sudfeld becomes the Patsies number one TE for the foreseeable future :wink:
Has Rex Ryan finally seen the light? It's ****ing bright enough...

Brady Quinn looked pretty good for us in preseason, the only reason he was released is our other veteran was even better. Unbelievable that the Jets have allowed all this QB uncertainty go right up to the final week. The offense cant be properly prepared.
Only three days left till it all starts!
TSSF: If your looking for a decent place to watch the Notre Dame game v Michigan according to the NFL forum you can watch all the ND games on the link provided on this thread.,

Mark Sanchez is out of season opener. Smith to start.
Cheers G - being that it's a late game, I'm not sure I'll still be awake for it but the link is appreciated if I do stay up for it!Quote:
