    Are you boycotting the super bowl?

    I've only missed about three SBs since 1985 (49ers sadly beat Dan Marino's Dolphins), so I am definitely watching. Furthermore, all have been with my friends Phil and Bronte. it begins mid morning Monday here; we delay watching it until about half-time, to cut through all the ads, and have a...

    Pete is Coach of the Raiders!!!!

    My closest friend Phil is a 49er fan, and his father barracks for the Raiders. Phil got into the NFL through his dad (now 91), who followed American football for many years before he (and later I) were ever interested. I must ask his dad what he thinks of this Coach choice! But... when I first...

    Ravens got jobbed

    I just *hope* the Bills win next week, and advance to the Superbowl... and then win that!

    Commies vs Lions

    I feel terribly sorry for the Lions. Now I'll barrack for Buffalo. That is going to be one heck of a match-up tomorrow!

    Isn't being the best non-playoff team wonderful?

    Hang on, two different possibilities (at least) here. Firstly, we're currently 8-7, so we might not even get to 9-8 this year. Secondly, if I have my sums right (!?)... If we and the Rams both win, or both lose next week, and if we then beat the Rams in the final game of the regular season, we...

    DK urging fans not to sell their tickets

    IMO, if you sell a ticket at any more than face value, plus any costs to transfer it to the buyer, you're a... scalper. I sincerely salute you! Plus, you probably had to get up before you went to bed the night before... :) (sorry, could not resist the stupid comment)

    Lockett

    This to me is just so sad. I'm not saying you're wrong, as you're equally entitled to have a different opinion, of course! Someone here once said something about it (the NFL) becoming a thing of simply "our multi-millionaires" against "your multi-millionaires" each week (as I approximately...

    Lockett

    Toffee, of course you are entitled to your opinion, but I agree with Sperrydogg above.

    DK out vs. Rams

    It's incredible but true! I think Tyler Lockett is a wonderful player, and person. If you can't reliably run the ball, or keep the opponent's running game under control, or convert few third downs but allow quite a few of them, you are not going to win many games unless the other team make key...

    Good Job .NET

    Rat - Courageous post, and thank you. I would be a hypocrite if I ever thought otherwise.

    Goodell wants 18 regular season games, eliminate 1 preseason game

    17 games is weird, but 16 was fine, IMHO. It is a LONG and punishing marathon of a season, and 40+ years of statistics from 16-game seasons were terminated by going to 17, which seems a shame to me. I'm rather fed up with it all apparently being about money-money-money!

    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...
