Gerrumonside ref Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Britain’s Jay Ajayi has re-signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. Tonight’s Sky games are very decent indeed: Baltimore at Houston at 6pm in the battle of two of the hottest QBs Philadelphia at New England in a rematch of Super Bowl LII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerjon Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Aaaand ... Bama are out of the 'conversation' for the top four. Losing a tight defensive game against Auburn 48-45 with, because history repeats, a field goal that would have tied it going awry. So the top four, for now, is LSU, Clemson, Georgia and Ohio State ... my bet, and I think most commentators, is that whoever loses in the LSU-Georgia game next week could be bumped and if Clemson lose to Wisconsin they will definitely go too ... The corruption of it all is magnificent. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Liverpool Rover Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 49ers win a wild one at New Orleans and it was a huge win as they are now back as top NFC seed before the Seattle game. After winning last week the Dolphins tanking goes back to normal after losing to the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrumonside ref Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Just watching on TV the selection of the 100 greatest NFL players on a position by position basis with extra picks for the more skilled positions. This particular episode was on the twelve all time best running backs (in no particular order below) as selected by a panel including Bill Bellichek: Jim Brown Emmitt Smith Eric Dickerson Barry Sanders OJ Simpson Gayle Sayers Dutch Clark Steve Van Buren Lenny Moore Walter Payton Marion Motley Earl Campbell Must admit that Dutch Clark (1930s Lions), Steve Van Buren (1940s Eagles), Lenny Moore (1950s Colts) and Marion Motley (1940s/50s Browns) are not names I was readily familiar with from the list chosen. The others up there are legends I feel lucky to have seen as their careers unfolded (even if just via a grainy TV image usually on Channel 4), in particular Dickerson, Sanders and Smith.

Gerrumonside ref Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Very low key build up to the Super Bowl following the shock death of Kobe Bryant. Seems to be being built up as the Chiefs QB vs the 49ers pass rush. They say defence wins championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like Reid to win one.. Yep, hoping for a really good one and will be supporting the Chiefs as it’s a long time since they won one. The bookies can’t seem to split them. Its an intriguing battle between a great pass rush from the 49ers and a mobile, accurate and tough QB from the Chiefs. This being the NFL though it wouldn’t surprise me if another couple of factors come to the fore that are getting less attention in the build up. My prediction: Kansas City Chiefs 20-14 San Francisco 49ers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckn Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Can they not just sing the bloody song properly for once? It’s a rubbish anthem but still better than GSTQ No idea who I want to win.

ckn Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Cracking game so far. Settled on 49ers as my team I want to win. Half-time show has to be the most dire for a very long time. Not even pretending to sing live. And what’s with the guy looking like a less talented Ali G coming on for a few words in rubbishy stuff that’d be laughed at in any rap event.

Gerrumonside ref Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I find the problem with these quick medleys is that for every song I recognise, there’s then another three I really don’t. Fair play though to the random guy who managed to get on stage with a microphone although he couldn’t really carry a tune to save his life! Shed Seven next year please!

The granny and the belly-dancer looked like the organisers realised the Treasurer ran away with the money and they had to scrape around for anyone who’d do it for a bit of publicity, a free meal and their taxi paid home after the event.
