NFL Crosses the Pond

10-26-07, 04:26 PM

I saw this earlier today, and I guess the Londoners (if that is what they call themselves?) have known of it for quite some time. Sold out!!

What popped in my head was the question about so called 'anti-competative companies' like Micro Soft. When will the EU sue the NFL for its anti-competative policies?

We won't even talk about Major League Baseball which, by law, is exempt from the US Sherman Act.

Unfortunately for the Brits the Miami Dolphins are in the stink hole this year.

Football in Europe or football in America boils down to the same thing ... you got to have love ...

You got to love the game, love your team, love the players, love the spur of the moment moment ... that special break, that spirit filled moment that takes your breath away, the space of time that can never be re-done in exactly the same way every time unless your the New England Patroits this year that is.

No kidding, I wish the NFL had given you the Patriots vs the Colts for the London game. That would be some football!

During last Monday night's game Russell Crowe was a guest in the booth. He said an Aussie and a Brit rugby team would be in the US to have a game the week before the Super Bowl. I hope they put it on TV, I would like to check it out.

Aye tis a lame article\whatever

What the pair of insular idiots seem to forget is football - played with feet

- is the most watched\participated game in the world
Just cos that pair and more do'nt grasp it doesnt make it any less of a game

Me ,I love NFL
Have done for years
But in a choose situation which game to watch footie would come first
No doubt the reverse in the US

The Wembley game could have sold out many times over
