September 28, 20178 yr They only started having the players come out and line up for the anthem in 2009 when the US military chucked some cash the nfl's way. Correct, all part of a big military recruitment drive.

September 28, 20178 yr The beginning of the NFL highlights show was quite a difficult watch when Chapman quizzed them about it.

September 29, 20178 yr Some quite powerful words from those to guys Osi was born in London to Nigerian parent and moved to the states aged 7. He has a better grasp on the issues then most yanks who are getting the hump
September 29, 20178 yr was it this bit? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/american-football/41412767 Some quite powerful words from those to guys They do put it very well, very powerful words indeed. I'm still absolutely amazed that Trump thinks it's OK to suggest that people should lose their jobs just because they aren't standing for a National Anthem
September 29, 20178 yr was it this bit? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/american-football/41412767 Yes. The passion shown by Osi was very moving. I actually thought he was going to cry at one point Edited September 29, 20178 yr by MancWanderer
September 29, 20178 yr Always satisfying to stuff 'da Bears' in the oldest rivalry in this sport.Having watched the Steelers work so hard at losing to the bears last week.Rodgers and Co made it look very straight forward
September 29, 20178 yr Having watched the Steelers work so hard at losing to the bears last week. Rodgers and Co made it look very straight forward I think you would agree Frank - the Bears were very accommodating. Fucking hell they were awful at the start.
September 29, 20178 yr I think you would agree Frank - the Bears were very accommodating. Fucking hell they were awful at the start. They were poop last week too, but the Steelers just kept making basic mistakes all over the place
September 29, 20178 yr I think you would agree Frank - the Bears were very accommodating. Fucking hell they were awful at the start. first 15 wae abysmal. to easy for the fudge packers
September 29, 20178 yr first 15 wae abysmal. to easy for the fudge packers Oi, LA Gayder. Less cheek laddie
September 29, 20178 yr Do you think the Packers have a genuine chance this year bolty? I would always think that any team team with Rodgers as QB has a chance but I just can't see that they they are strong enough in other areas Brady is probably the one QB in any team that can actually compensate for overall failings but Rodgers, good as he is, is not quite there
September 30, 20178 yr TBH mate - the same as the last couple of seasons - in other words, not quite there but it's a possibility. I think they definitely have the offensive weapons to do it, just not the defensive strength. I have been a long time fan and I can remember that under Mike Holmgren it was a similar situation. Brett Favre was at the peak of his powers, often behaving like a fearless, rampaging running back but the defence kept letting the side down. They broke the bank to sign one Reverend Reggie White and fixed the problem leading to a win at the Big Dance. There is always hope - the Pack will piss the division and we will see where it goes from there. There are some defensive standouts, not least Clay Matthews and you have to like a player with a name like Ha Ha Clinton Dix. That's a fucking belter
September 30, 20178 yr Expect the bills to surrender top spot to the patriots this week having to go to atlanta
September 30, 20178 yr I've got in to college football but how do the rankings actually work in this? Is it like the FA choosing who moves up/down or is there actual logic behind it?
September 30, 20178 yr I've got in to college football but how do the rankings actually work in this? Is it like the FA choosing who moves up/down or is there actual logic behind it? Generally the unbeaten teams from the top conferences will make up the top 4. Recently it's been Alabama and 3 others Humping Bowling Green by 50 points won't impress the panel as much as beating another top team. usually 3 of the top 4 are nailed on the 4th team or positions in the rankings often leads to debate
September 30, 20178 yr what are the nevada team like? Pretty pants tbf http://www.ncaa.com/schools/nevada/football
September 30, 20178 yr First chance ive had to watch Georgia live this season. It's all going scarily well.
September 30, 20178 yr I've got in to college football but how do the rankings actually work in this? Is it like the FA choosing who moves up/down or is there actual logic behind it? Frank nailed it. The panel gets it pretty much spot on but the fourth, fifth and sixth ranked teams can cause debate. I am always pissed off that the Badgers aren't in the four every year but they seem to make the 10 very often. Wouldn't change my loyalties though. Been to Camp Randall a few times and am hooked. Still enjoy watching some of the other games though. The Aggies, Michigan, Alabama and a few others can throw up some great games when they aren't demolishing some easy beats.
September 30, 20178 yr Pretty pants tbf http://www.ncaa.com/schools/nevada/football actually meant the vegas team. UNLV? who seem to be a tad better?
