Srg Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 It's completely different. If the team are terrible, majority of franchises will play infront of empty stadiums. Nothing like that here, where it is ingrained in you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Handegg should stay in America, we've got enough duff sports over here as it is without adding another Well you could get rid of golf, cricket and pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 3 games at Wembley next year. Jags, Falcons and Raiders giving up home games. Raiders and Falcons both after new stadiums... Would imagine NFL has told them it's in their best interests to come over if they want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'm not a fan of NFL. But I can totally get why people are interested.. I am a massive fan of NHL though.. Although it's definitely a North American sport (I mean the Northern states).. The good thing about Basketball, Baseball and NFL is that virtually all of the states play them.. NHL on the other hand literally has no teams in the Southern/Middles states.. And the ones that are like Pheonix, Dallas, Florida, Carolina, they're all way behind the other sports in their states hence why they have pretty rubbish teams.. I mean, who in Florida, Texas or Pheonix are going to follow NHL when it never snows in these states.. NHL is like fast-paced 5 a side football.. I'm amazed people aren't keen on it. I look out for a few teams.. Naturally the Canucks from when I was in Vancouver and I also like LA Kings, San Jose and Anaheim for the California teams.. I'd definitely get a Kings season ticket if I lived near Los Angeles.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely get a Kings season ticket if I lived near Los Angeles.. I lived in Chicago for a while and was lucky to have the chance to experiance all sport that is American. I have to say NHL was brilliant, however the Blackhawks weren't having the best seasons 0 however it was when the Bulls had Michael Jordan return and went on a 3 year run of winning the championship. As for NFL the best thing about that was the pre-game events, on big family days there would be people having trailer parties, bands playing outside the stadium, fayre ground rides and basically you would be there for 8-10 hours and at some point a game happened.

Leon the ram 2009 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I became a big NFL fan when channel 4 1st started screening it in the eighties, instantly became a Miami dolphins fan and have followed them ever since. I do find that people who don't like it use the same excuse that " I don't understand the rules, it makes no sense" it certainly does help knowing the basics which are actually quite simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 What is wrong with the Rams ? They have a guy like Tavon Austin and can't get anything out of him ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 It's also annoying that anyone likens it to rugby. Only similarity is the shape of the ball. And that some of the defenders have absolutely no ball ability whatsoever and are there just to either run into someone or block someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 What is wrong with the Rams ? They have a guy like Tavon Austin and can't get anything out of him ? He's a rookie for a start. Can't put that on a rookie. Other obvious problem is the running game. They've gone on to Zac Stacey to get some yards, they expected so much more from Isaiah Pead and Daryl Richardson.

Cisse Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The way he moves I was expecting more of him. Rookie or not. Well at least I can always watch highlights of his college days. I miss likes of Walter Payton and Herschel Walker. Shouldn't expect those kind of times anymore I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it easy for defences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss likes of Walter Payton and Herschel Walker. Shouldn't expect those kind of times anymore I guess. I wasn't particularly happy with the pick when it happened tbh. To trade up and spend a first round pick on a slot receiver (they said they were going to try different formations including him out of the backfield - they haven't) is crazy. He's got a terrible Offensive Co-Coordinator to work with too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop_Ram Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Anyone watch the 'skins-Bears game? Absolute cracker, 41-45. Gutted we lost, may have lost Cutler for a while as well. And the Jets beating the Pats! Great weekend of Handegg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
