NFL

I think im gonna try and get into it this year, spent a bit of time in the US during the last season and watched a few games, I generally get the gist of it now and quite enjoyed it!

Company HQ is in Seattle and i love the city, so i am now a Seahawks fan!

Seattle is far and away my favourite city in the whole world (I've had the privilege of visiting a few) and living there was why I got into the game.

If you happen to be out there on a business trip this season when the Hawks are at home, do yourself a favour and try and get to a game at Centurylink. You'll never experience anything else like it.

I don't follow it as closely as I used to, but ill be hoping both the Dolphins and Patriots (yes, I know) do well.

Was there in Oct last year, was a home game on but couldnt get tickets. Went to denver after and watched the bronco's in a bar there, them guys love it!! Also stayed in San Jose right next to the Levi's stadium, went for a mooch round! Was pretty cool!

Not sure when seattle trip is due next, but i am with you, its probably my #1 city in the world right now i want to go back to. So diverse, nice "vibe" cool things like the space needle, pikes market, the gum wall! have promised the wife a trip there then on to hawaii!

I'm sure your colleagues can recommend stuff, but if you ever want any recommendations of stuff to do when you next go, let me know!

I used to watch it in the Channel 4 days but I can't watch a live game, far too many stoppages.
As a Rugby League fan though I will be interested to see how Jarryd Hayne does. He's had a good pre-season which I hope he carries on into the full season.

Weekly highlights on the bbc for the next two years!

Buzzing for the new season, unfortunately it kicks off with two of my most hated teams tonight but looking forward to watching a bit of competitive football at last, pre season just doesn't do it for me. Bit annoyed that my beloved Eagles first game is Monday night football, too late for me.

Was thinking about getting some Chifs/Lions Wembley tickets today as the teams have returned a load that they haven't used.

Only reason I chose the Dolphins, was green, I liked the colour of their away kit. I suppose with green being my favourite colour, I could've gone Jets or Eagles, but Dolphins won

😳 That's girlie logic.

I also very intrigued by the Jarryd Hayne story and how he'll do.

Daniels is awesome!

Jake it worth a trip too! And The Met!

So many good steakhouses in Seattle!

DOLPHINS hopes are high this season. I watched a pre-season game v Atlanta. Didn't see much to get worked up for. Too much short passing. Teams will get wise to this very quickly and shut them out. The new stadium is looking good. Hopefully will be ready for our next visit in a couple of years.

 

[Rooter]

Daniels is awesome!

As its about lunch time, how much would you like to be choosing which steak to have? or Lobster for lady...

Go Pats. According to the BBC website wide receiver Rob Gronkowski score three touch downs as a wide receiver.

just remind me why I pay my licence fee again for these muppets.

Wow - of all the things to get wound up about ?!

Is that the same BBC who are broadcasting the Wembley games live plus weekly highlights.

it's like describing a golfer sinking 10 putts with his pitching wedge. If it's the wrong name, it's a bit frustrating.

It's good they're showing the weekly highlights, be interested to see how they rate against Channel 4's though, I quite enjoyed them. It is good overall though to see the BBC taking more interest. Even on BBC sport already they are pushing it!

DROOL!

Giants vs Cowboys on Monday night! Then the season begins. Go on you Big Blue!

Sky Sports showing 103 games live this year. Epic!

Exactly phil. These people are getting on the NFL bandwagon and cannot get a players position correct.

its like saying Ray Clemence is Liverpools best ever centre forward. When we all know it was David Fairclough 😁

I have heard Gronk be called a WR by seasoned NFL commentators plus many many more mistakes by the Sky Team including calling Peyton Manning Eli !? -its really is nothing to be wound up about or ranting about paying license fee etc etc etc

Why is it called "bandwagon" as opposed to providing a service that i thought most would be grateful off

Still appears fashionable to slate BBC at any opportunity
