Great. So much for unbiased coverage. The more Romo commercials the better, I suppose.

Anything is better than Watching Washington play, unless it's agains the cowboys and then they will lose on national tv.

 

[zoney!]

Those bastards ran back a kickoff.

wouldn't that be six points though? Or do they score the game differently in Scotland.


Shi-Poo-Pi! Shi-Poo-Pi!

The girl who's hard to get!

Shi-Poo-Pi! Shi-Poo-Pi!

But you can win her yet......



Nevermind, I was thinking of the Pats playing the Silly Nannies.

They ran it to the 20 can't couldn't go anywhere after that. I think they may have gone backwards, actually.

 

[Got Philk?]

I'm going to my first Bears game this Sunday.

I'll be rooting against them.

I wonder if I'll get into a fight.

We'll see.

Let me know if you don't. B/c if no, I'll fight you

NFL Star: Londoners Speak English?
SkyNews

Updated: 14:09, Friday October 26, 2007

Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder has admitted not knowing people speak English in London.

The NFL player might want to check a map to see where he's playing Sunday's prestige game against the New York Giants at Wembley Stadium.

Crowder, who comes from Atlanta in Georgia, may be praised on the field, but confessed geography was not his strong point.

He admitted he did not know until now where London was - or that Londoners spoke English.

"I couldn't find London on a map if they didn't have the names of the countries," he said.

"I swear to God. I don't know what nothing is. I know Italy looks like a boot. I learned that."

Crowder added: "I know (Washington Redskins linebacker) London Fletcher. We did a football camp together. So I know him.

"That's the closest thing I know to London. He's black, so I'm sure he's not from London. I'm sure that's a coincidental name."

The Miami Dolphins play the New York Giants at Wembley this Sunday in the first NFL regular-season game to be played outside the United States.

!!!

 

[BoMac]

^ Yeah I saw that on PTI yesterday. Kornheiser said he thought Crowder was speaking in jest, knowing his "admission" would make a good quote. Dan Le Batard, on the other hand, insisted that he knows Crowder quite well and that he wasn't joking at all.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Le Batard gets too much hate, he's the man.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Where's Phil?

I'm prepared to give him all sorts of hell today.

:triesnottobeoverconfident:

 

[Got Philk?]

 

[phillyfan26]

I don't even think I'm gonna watch the Eagles game.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

That bad, eh, pfan?

 

[phillyfan26]

It inspires my cynicism even more, which can't be good.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

 

[DaveC]

I probably won't pay any attention to it unless the CBS game is Cleveland-St. Louis.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Ok, I realize that the entire point of the London game is to expand marketing opportunities and fanbase in other countries, but what is the point, really? The fans there already have one football they're rabid over, do they really need another one?

Is this the first foray the NFL has made in this area, or have there been others?

 

[speedracer]

I'm pretty sure this is the first regular-season NFL game being played out of the country, though preseason games have been played in Japan and Mexico in the past.

Also, on SportsCenter it was mentioned that Pete Cech (Chelsea goalkeeper) watched the Giants practice a bit and is now a Giants fan.

 

[CTU2fan]

^ Yep I saw that.

I thought there was a regular season game played in Mexico, not just a preseason. Not sure though.

What a dog game to send over there though...I mean, the Dolphins?

 

[speedracer]

Yes, you are correct, the Cards and 49ers played a regular season game in Mexico. That's not nearly as big a reach as playing in England though.

And I'm pretty sure the NFL thought the Giants-Dolphins game would have been an okay-but-not-5-star game to play in England when it was scheduled. They certainly wouldn't have sent the Colts-Patriots game over there.

 

[DaveC]

I wonder how many people they've got in Wembley Stadium right now, and if it's being shown on British TV?

 

[phillyfan26]

I've decided to watch so that I can justify my anger with Andy Reid.

The new slogan should be:

"Eagles 2007! We Commit Penalties and Punt it Away!"

 

[U2democrat]

They said tickets at Wembley sold out in 40 minutes...I'm loving the crowd's reactions. I don't think they know who to pull for they just want to see exciting plays

 

[phanan]

The place is packed, but supposedly it wasn't drawing much interest outside of London itself.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I wonder what they're going to do with those giant animatronic players once this is all over.

And I am loving this Lions game right now.

 

[LemonMelon]

Friggin Dolphins. Do they want to win or not? They're doing everything possible to choke this game away.

 

[CTU2fan]

I wonder what they're going to do with those giant animatronic players once this is all over.

And I am loving this Lions game right now.

They'll be on ebay right next to the Popmart Lemon and the trabants.

Ooh we've got fans on the field. The networks not showing fans on the field is so lame. Yeah I know why, but it's still lame.

And I wish Colts/Pats was in London, better there than where it is. Fucking domes

 

[LemonMelon]

Rams blew a big lead.

 

[Got Philk?]

I've decided to watch so that I can justify my anger with Andy Reid.

The new slogan should be:

"Eagles 2007! We Commit Penalties and Punt it Away!"

And I continue to watch the Bears.

"Bears 2007! Please kick it to Hester!"

 

[CTU2fan]

Hey I've been there...except I was saying "Please kick it to Meggett!"

 

[DaveC]

Why the hell do teams keep insisting on not putting a defender on Mike Vrabel when he comes in at the 1-yard line?

10 career catches, 10 touchdowns.

I don't think I've ever seen someone more open. Does every DC in the league have a brain fart when he reports eligible or something?

 

[Dalton]

The away team has been having radio complications at Foxboro stadium? How novel.
