I need to get involved with NFL again, but need to choose a team. Was always a Dan Marino Miami Dolphins shirt wearing kid, but need some advice.

 

Which team is it worth following? Thinking about going down to Wembley to watch a game - anyone done it? Any help welcomed. Could just stick with the Dolphins and get tickets off Stub Hub for their game against New York Jets the day after the QPR game.

 

Which are the Liverpool/Man Utd of the NFL world to avoid?

Back to College Football, we are getting FSU Seminoles at Alabama Crimson Tide in the early hours of Sunday morning.

 

A match up and a half for week one! One not to be missed. Expecting some fireworks in that one.

I'm looking forward to Georgia v Notre Dame next weekend already.

Michigan average 100k every game since 1975

Aye absolute cracking game for week 1. Noles are the team I've followed since I started watching college football and have been to watch them 3 times. Superb experience.

 

Watching Michigan vs Florida at moment as a warm up for the late game. Florida are dreadful offensively.

All to do with stadium size mate. Their stadium has a capacity of 109,901. I think the Aggies have big numbers too - capacity of 102,500 ish. The Badgers nearly always sell out but are limited to a tad over 80,000.

 

What would some of our football clubs give for attendances like that? 

 

If you have never been to a college game and get the opportunity, do not miss it. A full days entertainment including a fifth quarter at many places.

I've been to one. My mate lives in Minneapolis so I went to a Gophers v Badgers game (?). Think it was a local derby.

 

The weather spoiled it really, damp and miserable. Pretty much everyone was leathered mind.

in vegas at the moment

 

great atmosohere everywhere today with the college football on

 

was in one bar earlier that had about 10 different games on

 

i was just cheering every TD

Been to Camp Randall 4 times and it has always been sunny and hot. Amazing day out - especially the fifth quarter.

 

As you say, everyone leathered from the pre-game tailgating!

The fact you stopped watching it as you thought it was boring and are about to follow a boring team would suggest you will

Are you suggesting I pick a team that wins more than loses and has a reasonable chance of some success? Or in other words, be a glory hunter?

Isn't that pretty much the way of things with these 'fans' of nfl

 

No better than foreigners picking to support united and liverpool

My real team are the Toledo Mud Hens, but they are never on telly.

 

AMF

I do remember your interest in yank egg chasing in the 80s

 

You and yon Mon in the redskins shirt

Nah denver will do ok this season but it'll be a dull low scoring watch.

 

Honestly it won't matter who you chose, watch a few games and there'll be something about a team that draws you in.

 

It's all a bit arbitrary picking a team ut it helps the enjoyment of watching the sport if you have an interest in the result.

Nope. Not at al.

 

I'm suggesting you pick a team who are attractive to watch. Denver will win more than they lose as defensively they're very strong

Ah, I get it. You are suggesting I pick the NFL's version of Ossie Ardiles' Tottenham with 3-4 home defeats. I'll stick with consistently predictable Everton, thanks.

Not quite

but you crack on

I will. And I was before you stuck your nose in.

Very good

The thing is I did have a big interest in the game years ago. I loved it. I followed the Stealers. Went to a couple of Wembley games in the 90s and also took in a Miami vs Cleveland pre-season match over in Miami when on my hols. I just massively fell out of love with it all. Every year I say I'll give it a go but never get beyond the 2nd or 3rd week. I preferred the package C4 put together. Sky's live games take up too much of my time and are duller than a Leigh Vs Featherstone playoff decider.

Give Redzone a bash then, unless the Steelers are playing its what i watch and it's really enjoyable especially if the sky game is a snore fest.

plus the added bonus of no ad breaks

Redzone is generally on Sky Sports Mix, which is free to air.

 

Broncos are my team.

Sky sports action I think is showing the games no idea on redzone though

Mark Chapmans BBC highlights show is very good. I was a massive fan of the C4 show and this is just as good

I think it helps that Osi could be talking about cribbage and still make it sound interesting.

Ha ha yeah I find both of them very entertaining. Never really rated Chapman as such but he's a good fit for this show

Enjoying Georgia Tech v Tennessee on BT ESPN currently

 

Seems more space and flowing
