American football in UK
Just wondering what our UK friends think of American football in UK. New York Giants vs Miami Dolphins playing at Wembly today.
Do people like it or is it just a novelty like Beckham is here.

Re: American football in UK
Taken from todays news:
-----------------------------------------------
'There was even a streaker ,dressed as a referee, the same guy who
got past security at the Super Bowl four years ago and stripped down at midfield before the second-half kickoff.
"Man, that was hilarious," .Jacobs said. "That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen."
----------------------------------------------------
From what I seen, I'm thinking he should save flashing his bits for a warmer day!!!

No, Patriots all the way, born raised in new England, Red Sox, Patriots and Celtics all the way. Only moved to Florida this year.
I loved watching 49 ers great team great guys, patriots remind me of them.
I have a feeling super bowl champs will be Colts or Pat's hopefully you didn't bet on Chargers LOL

Re: American football in UK
I enjoy watching American football, even though our rugby game is just as rough but they don't need all that protective gear!!!

Re: American football in UK
I watched Rugby once. Didn't understand a damn thing. Wasn't sure what they were doing, and who it was that was trying to do it.
Either game would be fine to watch, if I understood rugby, but there is no way that I'm going play. I'm too old for that sort of thing. My bones break way to easily, and takes too long for them to mend.
