It did effect the superbowl as they clearly cheated to get there! (i'm not that serious about giving the trophy to us, we clearly didn't win it in that game)

Tickets will become readlily available nearer the game, people usually buy the season tickets and then sell up.

Wasn't over 60 thousand tickets on sale earlier in the year ?
Why is it NFL UK fault if it sells out quickly ?
PM Paul_Stewart. He's got contacts in the NFL and may be able to source something.

The Patriots have been punished not just for this bit of cheating but also for the Spygate issue of 2007. They were told then that any further infractions would lead to harsher penalties. What they did with the footballs did not affect the result of the AFC title game but it was cheating all the same. And Tom Brady lied through his teeth about it too which could seriously affect his chances of making the NFL Hall of Fame in the same way as the steroid-tainted baseball players like Bonds, McGwire and Clemens miss out on Canton too.

So they're useless just because you didn't get a ticket? If all the current tickets are sold out then demand therefore exceeded supply and people will miss out. There are a lot of gigs I've wanted to go to but didn't get a ticket. That doesn't mean I think the band or the venue are crap.

So this is how it plays out.
My son has Downs syndrome and a serious heart problem but can transfer from his wheelchair. I got tickets last season as I just dived in and grabbed what was offered on the wed. When arriving at our seats, there was no way he could climb to it, we were on the moon. The brilliant stadium fella saw this and escorted us to the disabled seats right above the press section middle of the pitch, WHERE NO ONE ELSE WAS. Looking around Wembley almost all of these seats were EMPTY. ok then I'll get these seats if The Dolphins come again. When it was announced I contacted NFL UK and was given a number to call for the disabled seats. I was told to ring another number and ask for disabled seats. Got offered behind goal at horrendous prices by a muppetswho obviously knew nowt about what he was selling. Despite trying to contact NFL UK again about this and going though Wembley and every other avenue. NOTHING They are useless.
If those seats have been sold and taken I will sit down with Paddy, when he eats his hat, and eat mine too. We planned a big family day out, (we did a lads day last year), and a weekend in London. My son(s) are very disappointed and I feel as though I have let them down badly. But really the NFL / Wembley have let me down. Never again will I trust them!!!

makes a big difference actually explaining why you have that opinion of them.

By the sounds of it, Brady at least has been punished more for being resistant against assisting the investigation, than deflating his balls by a very small amount. Plus am I the only who feels the Patriots reputation has bit them on the bum

It's time for a new season! :whoo:
How is your team going to do this year? Mine, Dallas, have had a dodgy pre-season and lost DeMarco Murray to the E*gles
. This time last year, I wasn't too hopeful and we did well. Hoping for the NFC East title and more...

If Run DMC can stay healthy (big IF) your run game should be fine.
We're still dealing with the Kam Chancellor hold out mess, but we've added weapons on Offense and still have the core of the Defense together (along with the addition of Frank Clark who looks like he could cause trouble to opposing O Linemen) - so if we stay healthy (always a lottery) hopefully another trip to the playoffs and a 3rd straight SB will be on the cards (I'm a massive optimist).
Julian Edelman has been cleared to play tonight too - so that's given a massive boost to my Fantasy team! :whoo:

The clue to my team is in my sig pic lol
I hope we can push on from last year and get a title shot, interested to see how Mcfadden will fare, he's been a bit of a dream team letdown for a while iirc.

I like the NFL and watch it when it's on, but don't follow it closely enough to know all the players, that written I'm hoping the Dolphins can do something this year.

Yep, but mostly because of the aforementioned injuries. If he stays healthy behind your O-Line, he could do good things. It won't matter how he does though, because Romo will choke, as always, when it comes to crunch time :thup:

The Kam issues is such a pain, what on earth is he playing at!? Love the addition of Lockett though, I think he could be a real surprise later in the season.
The D line is looking good, hoping that will cover for the lack of Kam. I think we would habve to prioritise Bennett over him, the pass rush position is more crucial!

He's hurting no-one but himself at this point. I hope the team doesn't cave to any demands as it sets a bad precedence for those following in future years and we'll be forced to up everyone's contract.
As much as I love Kam, I'm happy that the team stands firm.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
go Pats. Hope they can retain it and keep the Gronk fit.
wonder how many seasons Brady has left.
when Tashyboy started on his illustrious American football carreer. With the mighty Mansfield Express, You had to pick a team. All of the big stars ? in the team went for the Raiders, Skins, 49ers, Dolphins,, Cowboys etc.
Tashyboy chose the Pats. God how they took the mick, they dint when they got to the Super Bowl for the first time ever that. they did soon after when we literally got thumped by the Bears ala The Fridge, Steve McMahon, and Walter Payton.
gotta stick with yer boys though and have they come good over the years.

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!

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
