Mad win by Steelers yesterday

rsot · #**266** 01-10-2016

What a spectacular fail by the Vikings kicker!

GB playoff experience showed up this evening...

I still don't know how Marv Lewis has kept his job all these years without winning a single playoff game.

Yea reminds me of Gary Anderson shanking that kick in the 1998 NFC Championship game. In my opinion had the Vikings won that game Randall Cunningham would be a HOF QB.

Reminds me of Ace Ventura scene about the guy who lost his mind after missing that kick hah

Baseball players sometimes never recover from it. Remember Niedenfuer threw a beach ball to Jack Clark and never recovered.

Guess my first call on Pats beating Chiefs was right on.

GreenBean · #**272** 01-16-2016

Still the soliloquy

Well "I" knew Pat's would win!

Now, tomorrow, Seahawks will win because Marshawn is back!

Go Seahawks!!!

rsot · #**274** 01-16-2016

GB versus Cards - if GB wins, playoff experience again triumphs.

@k_lock, Seahawks vs Panthers is the big game of the weekend....

Insane GB packers catch in last few moments....waiting on review...

TD stands, kick was good -Wow lucky catch 20-20 - overtime...

k_lock · #**277** 01-16-2016

Now to decide which beer will go good with which game...

Any recommendations????

rsot · #**278** 01-17-2016

For seahawks vs panthers, light beer - debating on Stella vs Heineken...not much creativity here though.

For the broncos game, I'm feeling a stout dark...Murphy's was decent last time I tried.

Card's Fitzgerald ended the game on first Arizona possession in OT - quick, brutal, old school play...

k_lock · #**279** 01-17-2016

I like the Sam Adams Rebel IPA. But a bit strong for early afternoon. I'll save that for the 4 o'clock game.

Maybe I'll have the Sam Adams Noble Pils for the early game.

And now for all you football fans... this is a must watch!!! Football.... a bad lip reading!

From what I have seen the Panthers have been really solid this season (apart from the game before this one...). I think that was their only loss though?

I had thought the Chiefs may have gotten one over in New England

I have to say I find it amazing how long an NFL game can go on for!

rsot · #**281** 01-17-2016

Hah James - that's fresh...which game did you watch?

Panthers only had 1 loss before this game vs. Seahawks...they were destroying the Seahawks but Seattle made a late 2nd half run....wow, anyhow Panthers were favoured.

Steelers tried but couldnt do it - Broncos vs Pats for the conference final...ugh I think Pats are going back to Superbowl this year...

JamesNorth101 · #**282** 01-18-2016

I have only watched a few in full. I am used to watching Rugby which has a lot less breaks!

I do watch the highlights for each match though which compresses it in about 10 mins per match so that does me nicely!

It is truly made for television. Their revenue has gone from 2.5 billion dollars a year to 12 billion dollars a year since the late nineties.

JamesNorth101 · #**284** 01-18-2016

That number makes the premiership football in the UK look small! They are around the £4 billion mark (around $5.7 in US money)

Not a true like for like comparison though due to the vast difference in size of the 2 respective countries. But either way $12 billion. Impressive!

That is why the NFL is tinkering with London, Europe is the only market left with real growth for the NFL. With Latin immigration as well as other factors, I would think that the European soccer leagues have a better chance of penetrating the USA market than vice versa.

EPL salaries are mad crazy though...and they play more games than the NFL season
