    Oh joy, another Chiefs Niners Super Bowl

    It's only the third of all the Superbowls I have previously missed watching with two particular friends here in Adelaide, since the Bears/Patriots rout in the 1985/6 season. Both former absences were because I was away at a conference. In 1991, I was in Dunedin, New Zealand - my first-ever...

    Oh joy, another Chiefs Niners Super Bowl

    I'll be on the Majestic Princess cruise ship, at sea between Sydney and Fiji, so I daresay I'll be on the main deck near the bar/pizza place, etc. Probably get drunk enough not to care who wins, but such a shame about Detroit (and Buffalo).

    Longhorns / Huskies

    I'm following play-by-play on CBS website on free hotel wi-fi (streaming of course impossible). Might go to watch on hotel big screen, but their audio is muted, and I have beer in my own esky! I'm barracking for the Huskies, but I've just realised UTexas is in Austin, which was Adelaide's first...

    Poll: Does It Matter Next Week?

    1985/6 was the second season of NFL I ever followed. First season was 1984/5; when everyone said Dan Marino would "absolutely" have other chances at a Superbowl win, after the 49ers savaged the Dolphins. But it was the 1985/6 Bears defense which totally captured me into loving the game. So...

    Go Pack

    I thought we simply have to beat Arizona next week to make the playoffs?

    Washington Huskies vs. Texas Longhorns

    Yes, go Huskies! I don't know anything about NCAA football, but I'll barrack for a Seattle team. I do know a professor of atmospheric physics at UW, but he does not know much about football!

    Poll: Does It Matter Next Week?

    Thank you, White Devil, and Happy New Year right back at you! I have read we would be in the playoffs, if the regular season was still 16 games. I know "if" is the longest word, etc, but it seemed a shame to me that the schedule got changed to 17 games. It s a brutal game; the season was plenty...

    Participation Bowls

    I know little about College football, but a longtime email friend from Dearborn, MI has a son who is an offensive lineman for the Eastern Michigan Eagles. His name is Alex Howie: https://emueagles.com/sports/football/roster/alex-howie/14780 He's a graduate student now, so he's a veteran. Just...

    Merry Christmas .NET

    Merry Christmas, everyone! It's a beautiful 20C/68F in Adelaide. In 2016, Christmas Day was 40.5C/105F! Our son even lit the fire (not necessary, but fun)!

    Players you liked who played for teams you didn't like

    Lagartixa - thank you for this wonderful thread. I've loved reading everyone's posts. Not so much teams I particularly don't like, but players I really liked included, in no particular order: Walter Payton Ronnie Lott Barry Sanders Ozzie Newsome Reggie White Mike Singletary (those blazing...

    Chris from Leicester!

    Chris, your Foxes did very well in 2015-6, to say the least! I sort-of barrack for West Ham, when I remember to. Anyway - welcome to the forum, from another international Seahawks fan!

    KJ Wright On Our Flight

    I remember watching Leon Lett completely poleaxe LT once (and of course his [Lett] two horrible clanger plays)!

    Parallax in Bellingham

    Welcome, Parallax! I know several folks in Bellingham - all of who worked at the Bellingham Herald. I met up with two of them when I was in the Seattle area back in 1996 - we and several Seattleites spent a very enjoyable afternoon/night in Seattle, and I just managed to wobble onto the last...

    My god what a terrible sport weekend!

    Rainger - I feel a bit of your pain! I barrack for Carlton in the AFL, but my first [local] sporting love: Sturt (Double Blues) lost the SANFL Grand Final to Glenelg, a week ago. Now I'm at least glad we had a great season, and went deep into Finals, but it's too early to expect you to recover...
