The NFL

vinnyt77

Along_the_Wire I dunno - I quite enjoy the ’win now or we’re fucked’ narrative. Adds some extra pressure and tension on the Rams…

If they can protect Burrow I fancy the Bengals.

Hopefully at some point during the game Jaylen Ramsey will get merked.

You need the patience of a saint to watch this game

This is like an Ed Smallman prediction.

Calling the favourite when the competition is down to only two teams.

ZERO KUDOS. Frank will be in touch.

Apparently you can watch just the highlights of an NFL game, I imagine this is the way to consume it, all action no faff

Hursty for sure. You’d need to be on morphine to sit through that from start to finish. Hideous.

Hursty What were you saying in your Crypto thread about people who aren’t interested in it shouldn’t post?

Anyway, I find NFL and NHL quite tolerable. I dipped in and out of a lot of the playoffs this year. A lot of them were nailbiters, so fair play.

It’s NBA I really have trouble concentrating on, as an association football/rugby fan - score after score, with no build-up play, I can’t appreciate it really.

Along_the_Wire

Hursty the faff is important - they break down the previously play - I love it. As breaks are a pain, but you know when they come

I managed half of the first quarter before jacking it in. It’s almost impossible to watch with that many ad breaks.

Just want to roll this back from last year…

I watched it here in Blighty on Channel 5 or maybe Channel 4, and between every play they cut back to the UK studio, I assumed because the US channels were playing ads to their domestic audiences. Turns out it was just a really bad editorial decision from the channel, and the US gets the same ad breaks as us: afters scores, during timeouts, end of each quarter etc.

Saw a bit of it last night on ITV and it was more than watchable.

Brilliant half time show. Bangers all the way

bosstrabs I gave it a go, it was just something a colleague mentioned and he was saying it the condensed viewing made it more palatable

Bit quick for you is it Dave?

Yes. NBA is like Surgeon techno. NHL is like wrecking ball prog.

The refs cost the Bengals. 6 penalties all night with the refs letting them “play” and then 3 calls in under three minutes gifting the Rams a winning TD? Absolute bullshit - that hold or pass interference (can’t remember which) on 3rd and 9 was so bad - there was contact, but they are both entitled to go for the ball and in any case it was within the first five yards.

And Ramsay can cry all day about that offensive pass interference that didn’t get called all day long - they hardly ever get called - the cheating cunt was holding all night and got away with it - one of them on his own one that denied a Bengals TD

The NFL wanted the Rams to win that game

Yep. McVay is such is piece of shit. He lost to Hoody, but was now deemed ready to be anointed. The new darling of the NFL. Painful.

the nfl put the rams in a city where most fans support the raiders and are notoriously fickle, then they magically win the super bowl as the host city. it’s almost like a fairy tale. consider me not surprised.

Along_the_Wire

303abuser what did you think of the calls at the end of the game?!

303abuser

Along_the_Wire i didn’t watch it. had a bit of the first half on in the background while i was reading, but i just didn’t feel like sitting through hours of commercials for a game i didn’t care about.

zackster

Moving them back from St Louis was one of the biggest dick moves ownership history.

303abuser

zackster 3 teams “needed” to relocate and the rams were the only one who had a deal from their current home city. so yes, let’s move them and the chargers to la, great call.

Why? Genuine question.

Although I don’t see the point in having 2 LA teams move back in at the same time, both of whom wear the same colours and even have similar looking logos. Where’s the fun in that? The Chargers could have at least changed their main colour to red, so the Crips could wear Rams gear and the Bloods could have their own team.
