Got the Wembley game on TV.

I've never really watched it (NFL) before. Is the coverage always this terrible? 90 seconds of action, then cut to Vernon Kay and the talking heads or a random pitch side interview. It's all a bit dull.

Did you miss the 3 day preamble to the start with singers and stuff?
Even the entrance to the pitch took forever

Pfft

I had to change the channel until Joss Stone was done. You have to draw the line somewhere.

Only saw the end bit on C4 waiting for Guy Martin to come on, it's not a very fluid game is it?.

It was always going to be a rubbish game today, one of the best teams in the league v one of the worst.

Atlanta v Detroit a couple of weeks ago was fantastic.

I do think you need to 'tune-in' to NFL to appreciate it
Watched in a bar with food and drinks it's great - allows you to chat to mates and then just watch 'the action' when it happens.

It is easy to understand why many just don't 'get it', however. For a European sports fan, it's very different.

I don't mind watching NFL. Its easy enough to follow as long as you don't expect it to flow like football.

A fella I work with is a QB coach for a local side and he insists that College Football is a lot better to watch.

Still not as good as basketball though.

He's doing field sports now?

I don't like the fact competitive games are happening away from a home town, sets a dangerous precedent for the premier league and is a big f you to home fans..
