Thanks, i did not know that. I could have watched it live!! Damn it!!!!

 

[Twizzle]

they gotta show something, they have lost the EPL and UCL

 

[T-Boon]

This morning all of the teams expected to win did win.
Teams like the Crimson Tide, the Buckeyes, the Sooners and the Georgia Bulldogs (pick the school lacking imagination) had convincing wins. The Bulldogs were probably the most impressive because they beat South Carolina who go by the name of the 'Gamecocks'. The least impressive of the teams expected to win was probably the Irish who end up beating Ball State by 8. A win is a win.
USC got beaten by Stanford. I predict Coach Helton from USC will get the sack this year.

Anyone reckon Rivers and the chargers can make a superbowl run this season?

I mainly focus on College Football and the Chargers are not a team I follow in the NFL or know much about but I am going to say no I don't think they will be competitive.

Chargers cost me a 550 all up...

Mahones on debut wow.

Intercept galore this weekend

Rodgers well what can I say. 20 nil and on one leg. Imagine this guy was in NE over Brady. He would have 8 rings. Not dishn Brady but Rodgers is on a other level.

It was a heck of an opening round.

This game can be a bit nerve wracking when you team is up by 1 point with 2 mins to go, problem being that it takes 15 mins to play those last 2 mins.

It gives them more time to sell hotdogs and beer at the ground, but more importantly, TV time.

Only if the game is still winnable/losable.

 

[Twizzle]

Its also where Rugby League is heading with all our stoppages and dont get me started on the bunker, what a waste of time and resources and we copied that from the NFL.

I thought we were gonna find a way to lose with Rodgers on one leg. He may be out of action for a while.

I didn't get the bears plays in that last drive. Silly.

I hope not. Not that I am a Packers fan but I like Rodgers. Hopefully just bruised. He wouldn't of come back if too serious.

Wonder how @Ron Jeremy handled the bills first outing for the season

Couple of things I love about American Football that I wish RL could go towards:

1. Every single down matters. There is a basically a winner and a loser every play.
There is way too many "meh" plays in RL. Almost like a gentlemens agreement:

D: "you are going to get 6 or 7 metres but that is all"
A: "ok";

2. The defense is good to watch and is intriguing in itself.
