Love it. Steelers fan also.

What's the story with the referees? Oh and I expect I'll be at the Wembley game in October.

Haven't got a NFL team really. Wondering what will happen in the car crash life of Chad Johnson Ochocinco next.

Oh . . .he's a free agent, . . . i always raise a smile when i remember him wearing that fake HOF jacket, . . . lol

I'll be at Wembley, shout me up nearer the time and we'll raise a glass in the Green Man!

When I was at school, we chose teams to follow. I picked Denver. Oops.

One of the very few spectator sports I have any interest in. I really should pick it back up at some point.

Have to confess I've got two teams, Falcons 'cos they were the team I latched onto back in the Jerry Glanville days, and Steelers 'cos Three Rivers was the first NFL stadium I saw a live game at.

Speaking of live games, I've only just found out that the Beeb are showing MNF as well as C4 showing the Sunday night games again - bonus!!!

No spoilers please as i'll be watching it tomorrow night.

I've got that too, . . am I right in thinking it's only the two sunday Sky games that will be blacked out for 24 hours?

again sorry, . . . I really could kick myself . . .

There will no longer be a six day blackout for games shown on Sky Sports.
There will be a 24 hour blackout for the two games which Sky show.
NFL RedZone will also be available on Game Pass.

Some clarifying points:
The 24 hour blackouts applies to games that air on Sky Sports on Sundays. There are no blackouts for Monday Night Football, Sunday Night Football, or Thursday Night Football.

Fantastic news - it was usually the best game which was blacked out.

Interested to see how Manning will do at the Broncos and also if Tebo will get a game in New York

I don't think anyone knows about Manning yet, not even himself, he's going to take some big knocks this year, although the Broncos have a decent O'line, heard a rumor he's struggling to make some throws to certain sides of the field?

... he looks a bit uncertain and statuesque in the game i saw, but he's always looked a little like that.

Tebo, Sanchez whoever plays Jets look like a disaster in the making this year . . .

Go! Redskins btw

Seconded. Although their 3-0 to 3-6 record last season doesn't inspire much confidence.

I've also entered a pool at work (pick the winning teams each week). So far, I've called the Giants/ Cowboys game wrong.

RGIII . . . ? Gonna be interesting to see him in action

Could be a baptism of fire though against the high scoring, point to prove Saints

Both my son and I are fans and will be at Wembley.

He is a Niners fan. I was always a Cowboys fan but after living near San Francisco and going to Candlestick I am kind of torn to enjoy the father / son thing and go red and gold!

Word from Denver is that they are going all the way 🙂

Some interesting results.

Sanchez for the most part, I'm going to watch this tonight, in anticipation of my Steelers playing them next week . . .

Denver played well, we didn't have an answer to Manning at all, . . . but we were right in it . . .
