American Football Thread (NFL, NCAA)

Good example is Vince "I will be in the Hall of Fame" Young.

 

Green Bay is a tiny metro area but they have some of the most interest out of any team. You have to wait decades in line to get a shot at season tickets.

 

Ahh, gotchya. Misunderstood ya -- my bad.

Or Reggie "Gale Sayers" Bush of USC "Best Team Ever!" (oops!)
Who do you think will be "the next Walter Payton" this year? Seems like there is always one.

 

Meh... Green Bay is part of the Milwaukee area but yea, even with that they are still one of the smaller markets (second smallest just ahead of Jax). Being one of the original teams with that history, it makes up for the population.

 

This year it's all about the quarterbacks. You knew that! :icon_mrgreen:

 

They may be a tiny metro area but I would bet they are top 3 in ticket demand.

 

Definitely. History and tradition can make up for a lack of population in a big way.

 

College Football kicks off soon and I'm getting pumped up for another season.

Buckeyes looked mediocre against Navy but to make up for it my Cincinnati Bearcats humiliated the * out of Rutgers on national t.v. yesterday....that was just fun.

Looking like another good year in Clifton.

 

Not making excuses for OSU, as I think we're probably going to be in trouble against USC, but Navy is a solid non-BCS team and triple option is never easy to deal with. Credit to Navy, they took advantage when the Buckeyes clearly thought the game was over in the 4th quarter and got back in the game. The number of times Navy converted on 3rd downs is troubling to say the least.

how are the eagles been doing i have been meaning to check the results.

 

Season only starts this weekend, they made the NFC Championship last year though (I think, I don't follow NFC that closely).

 

Diegan , could you explain why two teams play at wembley every year is it commercial ?

 

Yep, they are "expanding the brand." There's enough American expats and curious Englishmen to ensure that it will be a financial success every time they do it. There have even been rumblings of a franchise being placed in London but personally I don't see it, the logistics of a team like San Diego would be impossible to deal with.

 

Thank * the Pats won that game! One can say we were to lucky to win, but the Bills were also lucky to get an interception for a TD and some back calls from the refs to put them in position for their 2nd. Those were never roughing the passer!

Brady looked great in the 4th quarter and I'm sure he'll do fine this year, it's only our defense I'm worried about this year.

 

I'm neither of those and I've been to all the London games so far

Only a few weeks til the next one, can't wait to cheer on the Buccaneers :icon_mrgreen:

Just a shame my team are in for a tough, tough season, took them til the dying minutes of the 4th to get some points on the board

 

Who's your team?

And Troll, your Chokeland Faders have done what they do best, yet again... choked in the 4th. :icon_mrgreen: That makes it 12 strait that the Chargers have over them, and it couldn't have been in a more entertaining fashion. There's a silver lining though, this is definitely the best Raiders team I've seen since they were in the Super Bowl, so chin up. :icon_mrgreen:

 

The Dolphins :icon_mrgreen: /

 

Jeez, and they say Yankee fans are smug!? What you gonna be like if the Chargers make it to Super Sunday? :icon_mrgreen:
