NFL - Are You Ready For Some Football?! - 08/09 Season

[Zopperoni]

I'll be at the Saints-Chargers game today, if anyone sees me on TV, wave

[Will9]

What team's colors will be wearing? I hear that every team had someone wearing their colors at last years London Game.

[Zopperoni]

I'm wearing my NE/Brady jersey. I popped up and down to pick up my tix... and yea, everyone's wearing everything. I saw Dolphins, Giants, Bears, Steelers, Redskins, and many others, also including local amateur teams, old NFL Europa teams and US college teams. This is a real good demonstration of how deep and broad the fanbase is and the organization did point out that it really didn't matter what you showed up in.

From the people wearing kit from the teams actually playing, I saw more Chargers than Saints, unfortunately. However, I'll be rooting for the Saints, since it's their home game and Drew Brees is my QB in both my fantasy leagues

Tres cool. Enjoy, Zopper!

Just because there are games nationally, doesn't mean they get viewed locally. My Comcast listings confirm what the Freep says, and CBS is showing a movie. I don't know if CBS can switch to a game since the Lions are blacked out.

So they're not even showing the London game (like they are here)?? odd ...

Some scorefest, 37-32.

And CBS switched to the early game, as postgame is on now.

Dolphins 25, Bills 16.

Steelers make goalline stand, stop Giants just short of end zone.

On third down Jacobs was hit a few yards out, but stretched the ball over the goalline. Ruled TD, challenged, overturned as his other elbow was down before the ball crossed.

Giants challenged ruling. Call stands, no TD. Steelers still lead, 7-3.

7 - 6 now after another field goal.

A tough hitting game.

Some definite headhunting going on out there. Giants' DBs are a hard-hitting bunch.

Maybe for the NFC. Still think Rivers can get it this season too.

Here are the last 8 bolts games.

OAK, DEN and KC at home and away.

PIT away, INDY home, TAMPA away and ATL at home.

Plus the Bolts finally get two byes. Thank god.

Ryan Clark (DB-PIT) is going to be lighter in the pocketbook, as well as in the head, after that hit on Steve Smith helmet-to-helmet that knocked Clark silly...

Aaron Rodgers probably has about the same chance... similar passing yards, higher completion percent, and similar TDs adding in his 3 rushing scores.

IE, no, no he doesn't have a shot...

Oops. Injury to Steelers long snapper comes back to bite them as sub sails the ball over the punter for a safety. All tied up at 14.
