Title: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: TightEnd on October 25, 2006, 01:01:45 PM the owners have agreed to take two regular season games overseas, and London is getting one.
This is going to be a good for saddos like me. I remember going to see exhibition games at Wembley in the late 80s and of course we've had the London Monarchs and the Scottish Claymores since. However a good competitive NFL game is quite a spectacle. Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: ACE2M on October 25, 2006, 01:07:22 PM excellent, that will be great. When will they releadse dates and details of the teams?
Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: matt674 on October 25, 2006, 01:12:02 PM call me old fashioned but American Football is one of the only sports i actually prefer watching on tv rather than live, especially when the NFL has about 1 million cameras focusing on everything from every angle. Instead of the 30 second - 3 minute gaps between play i can watch endless replays of wide receivers eyes popping out of their sockets after crunching cornerback tackles!!
Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: TightEnd on October 25, 2006, 01:12:36 PM excellent, that will be great. When will they releadse dates and details of the teams? don't know when but.. all the owners have just agreed it for next year likely to be two big franchises with lots of international support and non west coast due to length of travel eg Dolphins, Cowboys, Bears, New York teams etc Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: turny on October 25, 2006, 01:20:23 PM i cant wait
Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: Graham C on October 25, 2006, 01:31:56 PM Should be good. Wonder if the Villa Chairman and the Man U Chairman have something to do with this?
Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: Colchester Kev on October 25, 2006, 01:33:26 PM I suggest tighty is made NFL monitor, and as soon as dates are announced, we get a group of blondes together and make a trip to this.
would be a great day out. who's up for it ? Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: TightEnd on October 25, 2006, 01:35:31 PM ;tk;
i'll add it to the list of chores. Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: Sheriff Fatman on October 25, 2006, 01:38:04 PM If they can get over their nasty habit of conceding last second field goals it'll hopefully be the 2007 Superbowl Champions.

Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: TightEnd on October 25, 2006, 01:40:39 PM If they can get over their nasty habit of conceding last second field goals it'll hopefully be the 2007 Superbowl Champions.

I love watching the 49'ers get hammered!
Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: Sheriff Fatman on October 25, 2006, 01:42:20 PM Eagles vs Cowboys would be a good one, but not for Tighty to watch.
Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: Royal Flush on October 25, 2006, 02:45:23 PM Class! NFL games are something else, i also think we should leave Tighty in charge of informing us closer to the time!
Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: TightEnd on October 25, 2006, 02:54:28 PM Eagles vs Cowboys would be a good one, but not for Tighty to watch. not usually no, but the choker of all chokers remains Donovan McNabb..... Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: ACE2M on October 25, 2006, 02:59:41 PM excellent, i third tightys nomination as expedition leader.
Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: Sheriff Fatman on October 25, 2006, 03:04:24 PM Eagles vs Cowboys would be a good one, but not for Tighty to watch. not usually no, but the choker of all chokers remains Donovan McNabb..... I wish he'd chosen to throttle TO last season! Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: The Baron on October 25, 2006, 04:23:03 PM I suggest tighty is made NFL monitor, and as soon as dates are announced, we get a group of blondes together and make a trip to this. would be a great day out. who's up for it ? Hell yeah! Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: Canuck on November 03, 2006, 05:32:31 PM I watched NFL in high school and university. Probably my favorite sport to watch on tv other then ice hockey.
If the Pats came to the UK I would go for sure. Title: Re: Yippee..the NFL coming to London Post by: Newportlad on November 04, 2006, 10:28:37 AM I'm really looking forward to this.
Hopefully they will have two decent teams East Coast teams playing. I attended the first London Monarchs home game at Wembley, and it was a great atmosphere. The stadium was packed out, and they had a great halftime show. The only downside was bumping into Lionel Blair. |
