So, here we go again! The season starts. Who's peoples money on this year? Will the Gronk/Brady partnership work at Tampa? Is Hopkins gonna be worth the money for Arizona? Loads to think and talk about this season.
I'm gonna be up most of the night watching the opening game - didn't much like the 2 anthems but on with the game. Kansas in this one for me but gonna be a close one I think.

Re: NFL
Tonight's game is an interesting clash of titans between the two highest paid Quarter Backs in the league.
I'm backing,well rooting, for the Packers.

Re: NFL
^^ Root for them but don't back em, Guy - you'll lose your money I reckon. I've been 49ers since I was a kid - just loved Montana when the game came onto channel 4 so adopted them as 'my team'. Over recent years I've developed a soft spot for the Jags as I go to Wembley every year with my Dad and they agreed to have it as their home game so I get to go and see them every year (obviously not this year, which I'm gonna miss as our annual father/son weekend away).

Re: NFL
That's fine Chris; I'm not a betting man.
I've been to one of each of the Wembley games the last two seasons with my son (he's a Seahawks fan); although he's then sat in another part of the Stadium with friends from University days.

Re: NFL
^^ Just checked on my betting account - 25/1 for Green Bay to win Super Bowl if you fancy a few quid as a speculator
It's a great day out hey - the full day, atmosphere etc.. around Wembley is fantastic. We go in the 'Club Wembley' seats every year - it's a long time to sit in the normal seats without padding

Re: NFL
25/1 is tempting, but I'll pass. Thanks, Chris.
Our seats are Club Wembley too, Michael gets a Season ticket for the two games (as last year).
Quite an, unexpectedly, open game so far this evening.

Well, if you go next year you'll have to give me a shout before hand so we can catch up for a beer

Re: NFL
Looking forward to the new NFL season- as a raiders fan I’ve been lucky enough to get to quite a few games at Wembley From back in 1990 and one last year at T*tennham’s
Didn’t watch the game last night but wasn’t a surprise to see the result, be interesting to see how the season turns out. Quietly confident we (raiders) will have a decent season, been a long time coming

Re: NFL
I’ve always had a bit of a liking for the Packers and Patriots, even before their relatively recent successes. I’m going back to the days when it was on Channel 4, and was dominated by the Giants, Bears and 49ers. So I’m always happy for either of “my” teams to do well.

I started on Channel 4 too, but supported the Redskins. I saw them twice at Wembley, pre season games (49ers and Dolphins)Amor Vincit Omnia wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 10:25 am I’ve always had a bit of a liking for the Packers and Patriots, even before their relatively recent successes.

I even used to tune into the US Armed Forces Radio Network later at night. Damn thing used to fade in an out, usually on 4th and inches, to some opera singer.
Often woke at 2am to hear radio still on in my ear.
Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night. Be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniels, Frank Sinatra

Re: NFL
Yeah it’s amazing how much the legacy of the 80s channel 4 NFL show lives on. Anyone around my age group (40-50) will often have “a team” picked completely at random in about 1987
I got the raiders as my mum figured a black jersey would last longer on a 7yo boy than the bright colours. 33 years later and I’m buying $300 Mitchell & ness throwback jerseys and listening to podcasts from Oakland

It must have been before '87, probably around '82?

Who else around my age group also subscribed to the NFL magazine at the local newsagents and completed each years collection in a nice folder with a copy of the Superbowl programme? I still have mine stashed away somewhere.
