    Super Bowl in Wembley? No offense, but that is NEVER going to
    happen. Super Bowl Sunday out here is considered a holiday in all
    but name. To play it outside America seems ridiculous. It would be
    akin to playing the CL final in New York. I can see the travel being
    one reason, but Super Bowl tickets are so expensive people who
    buy them might not mind the cost to fly across the pond. But still,
    I'd rather not see that. Add to that the time zone difference. The
    game would have to be played in prime time in America, not for
    England, which means 7PM EST or something, a.k.a. 1 AM for you.
    And that's only the start, add 3 hours for the game to finish, and
    it appears more and more ridiculous.

    Besides, I think it'd make more sence to appeal to the asian market. I think the NFL's appeal on europe is pretty low...

    Today was a very good day. United beat City with a last-gasp goal,
    Da Bears win against the defending champs Steelers with a last-
    gasp field goal after a tough game. And the Packers lose, which
    just caps it off.

    Dolphins lost a close one against the Colts last night. 0-2 doesn't look good, and they do have a tough schedule. But I keep looking at their roster and thinking they have enough talent to beat a lot of teams. Come on Miami!!

    **** sake. The Eagles were shocking against the Saints. Their defence really needs sorting out. Good game to watch though. Watched the Buccs vs the Bills aswell. Very good game.




    BTW does anyone want to start a Fantasy Football league on Yahoo. the scoring will start on GW 3

    Drew Brees. Always Drew Brees. Guy threw for like 5k last year. Plus, the Chargers can always go with Sproles/LT, whereas Reggie Bush isn't near the quality of either of those guys.

    The Bills have no secondary, and don't have a great pass rush. Brees will do whatever the hell he wants to do. Miami is a decent team, don't let their record fool you.

    Calvin Johnson. He'll catch a TD or 2, and the Lions will lose by 20.

    Absolutely right! Come on Miami! An 0-2 start can be turned around ..... eventually!

    Yeah, hopefully the Seahawks don't lose too bad against my
    Bears. I want a nice win, but running it up against a poor team is
    a bit classless. They'll be sleepless in Seattle come Sunday. If
    they over-commit to defending Forte, then they'll leave Cutler tons
    of room to get the ball to Hester, Knox, Olsen, etc. Plus our d-line
    will get to the QB, whoever plays tomorrow, or should.

    Go Bears!

    Daaaaaa Bears! Another 4th quarter comeback led by Cutler! Now
    everybody knows why we gave up so much for him. Half time right
    now between Indy and Arizona, and vintage Peyton Manning. Not
    so much from Kurt Warner though.
