luckyBatistuta Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Why did they stop the College elite taking on the NFL elite, would much rather watch that as an end of season exhibition game than the Pro Bowl. Quote

luckyBatistuta Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 The game ended in 1976 because NFL coaches didn’t like their star players playing in it. Would still rather watch a game like that than the Pro Bowl Quote
Phil Dunphy Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Having had time to mull over that PI non-call, I’ve come to the conclusion that both the SFA and the NFL are out to get me. Quote

As Peebo says not something either college kids or for that matter pro's would do now. Way to much money on the line. Also as Peebo mentioned. Pro Bowl, meh. Quote

Anything that’s not an actual competitive game is going to be pretty unwatchable, as it’s not a sport people can play without going all in. Pre-season games are utterly turgid, too. Only good for a piss up! Quote

Only good for a piss up! I do agree, actually looking forward to the NFL Honors more than the Pro Bowl, not sure I’ve actually ever watched one from start to finish. Never even turn it on now, although I would go to one if I could, just for the day out and see the top players, maybe even meet some. and the piss up Edited January 22, 2019 by luckyBatistuta Quote
Watt-Zeefuik Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 No reason under the sun to watch the Pro Bowl on TV. I hear it's fun to watch in person if you're in Hawaii because it's a bunch of NFL tough guys goofing off on the field doing silly stuff, but the NFL frankly should be embarrassed that they televise it.

Sexton Hardcastle Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Preferred it when it was held after the Super Bowl and those who deserved to be there went instead of players pulling out and sending any old shite. Quote

chuck berrys hairline Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Had a peek at bookies for early prices. Pat's slight favourites and only a two point spread. Can anyone see much movement as week goes on ? Edited January 27, 2019 by chuck berrys hairline sp Quote

Sexton Hardcastle Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I like the overs market which is around 56 points. Both teams have the ability to score a lot of points. Given current form as well will put a chunk on Michel first td. Currently 7s. Quote

This week will drag around here. I don't do sports radio 'cause it just gets silly. Football pundits are all about being the most controversial. I cant listen to them. Its like a bad Saturday on Radio Scotland football. No thanks. I hope its a Patriots blow out but all previous 8 have went down to the wire so not expecting anything less this Sunday. I'm hoping we do it but the Rams are a good team too so who knows. Quote
chuck berrys hairline Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Seen spread moved to 1.5 so jumped on it. Also enhanced offer for two TDs each half for both teams Quote
Kendoll Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Couple of days to go until the big one. What's everyone's plans? I'll be having a fairly quiet one, took the Monday off as did the missus so we'll be sitting in with plenty food and beer. On the game, Pats to win by a field goal in a nailbiter. 24-27. Quote

Will try be avoid the score then watch the highlights on Monday. I’ve never sat up and watched the whole thing in the UK. I love the NFL, but first and foremost it’s about following my team. And as they aren’t in it, I care as much about the Super Bowl as I do the Scottish Cup Final when Hearts aren’t in that. Have had many great Super Bowl parties in the US, but not bothered enough to sacrifice a night’s sleep and day of holiday to watch it live here. Quote
Sexton Hardcastle Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Got a wedding Saturday and an all day session Sunday before a mate hosts half a dozen boys. Did the same last year and got so pissed I missed most of the game. Try not to do that again. Hope the rams do it and fancy a high scoring shoot out. Quote
hmfc_liam06 Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 I'll be staying up to watch it, on my tod though. Working from home on Monday, no holiday required. Quote

Not working but I think I'll do the same as last year: record it on the BBC, avoid the score, and watch it on Monday morning. If I was having a bet, it would be on the Patriots, but I'll be very much rooting for the Rams. Quote

What do you think of the Matt LaFleur appointment? LaFleur must have absolutely nailed the interview, given the Packers opted not to press ahead with the second round of interviews. I'm excited to see what he does with the offence, and I hope his man management is as good as his mate McVay! Quote

Mccarthy leaving is about 4 years too late, so any change is good. He speaks well and reckon he's a smart cookie. Real shake up in all the coaching roles in GB bar Pettine, so I think next year could be a great one. Edited February 1, 2019 by Kendoll Quote
