The Big NFL Game

[Nerf]

It's gonna be awesome, but does anyone else in the UK actually care about it?

[DMN in the House]

Jason Taylor is 26 feet tall, and ate the Tower of London, or so I heard.

[Guest Onkel Hans]

I've already heard the American announcers refer to the game as taking place at 'historic Wembeley stadium' a number of times now. They do realize that there's a new one, yeah?

[DMN in the House]

Americans are stupid, duh.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Their tiny minds can't cope with the concept of a new stadium being named the same thing as the old one. Hell, the thought of a stadium not being named after the company bidding the highest is anathema to the poor guys.

It's not like all of us are fans of that either.

[HailtotheYo]

Right ......... because Emirates and Reebok don't adorn permiership stadiums

(Y)

Of course, instead of on the stadium .... it's on the jersey.

10-0 Giants at the Half.

[Cactus Drags]

Yeah, this is in the wrong forum but whatever. America's got the right idea with not plastering company names all over the sports kits. Stadium names are bad enough though.

I'm loving the UK crowd, the booing and whistling at Elisha, and the old-school mudbowl type game we're getting.

Still half a minute left in the half LD.

What channel is this on? I did a flick-through and it doesn't seem to be on terrestrial, which makes me sad.

[alldaws1]

Sky Sports, BBC has highlights later.

So I stand corrected. Didn't expect much to happen.

13-0 Giants.

[ROC]

I find it awesome that if the Brits ever did get an NFL team, every game would probably be muddy and rainy...

We need a pro league over here. Or at least some of you English NFL fans to start supporting our amateur or college leagues. Birmingham Bulls FTW.

[Slogger]

There WAS a team in NFL Euro but because they sucked and the fans didn't go to home games, They folded.

I'm assuming you mean the London/England Monarchs? If the following is incorrect, please disregard >_>

They should have kept the goddamn twin towers as part of the new stadium, the Aussie cunts.

[KoA]
