American Football (not their soccer)

Whole thing makes me sick really...

Me too, when they start talking about it on ESPN, or the radio now, I just turn it off.

So Kroenke will be having both of his football teams playing in London this weekend. Anybody going to the NFL one? Anybody care? lol

The Rams are my hometown NFL team. We're not that good, so may get waxed.

Mate from work was going to go but the prices were stupid.

[StLGooner]

Yea, they can be silly sometimes, like many sporting events now days. Do you know about what they're charging?

There was a two page spread in the Standard this evening about Tom Kraft and his Patriots and, how he was glad he never bought Livepool, lol.

[Yorkyblue]

Sure he said £140 was the cheapest he can find. It makes Arsenal's prices look good!

Tom is actually a pretty good owner, as hard as it is for me to admit that because I don't like the Patriots, but that doesn't mean he'd be a good English football owner of course. Probably a wise move on his part. I wish the American business men would stay out of English football really. Although I do like how the popularity has grown, I don't want the game Americanized.

I wonder sometimes why the NFL is trying to promote so much in the UK, are there that many NFL fans over there? The impression I get is that the average person over there could care less? Maybe I'm wrong?

More people are interested than most realise.

It doesn't get discussed much but then it gets brought up you get surprised how many people are interested.

Yeah, I'm always surprised by the talk about it after the superbowl, especially since that's the only game we get all year over here.

We probably get more American football than we do Premier League football on a weekend on Sky Sports

That's the way it is with the EPL for me. On Sunday I get 4 or 5 NFL games and one on Monday.

Counting replays/delays I normally have 8 or more of the EPL matches. I pay a little extra for Fox Soccer Plus though, which normally has a game or two.

And I also get a handful of games (3-4 each) from Spain, Italy and France.

I can seriously just spend my whole week watching soccer.

I'm assuming since Kroenke owns both Arsenal and the Rams that many of them will be at tomorrows game, and then maybe vice versa on Sunday. The Arsenal crew interviewed Rams running back Steven Jackson.

BIG NFC North clash about to get underway... Packers @ Bears.
How many NFL fans we got on the forum???
