NFL discussion thread - Super Bowl tonight!!

[King Gizzard]

Saints QB is called Drew, it was destiny

[Drew.]

Yeah but hes like 50

I have narrowed my search down.. The 49er's and Colts are looking promising

[King Gizzard]

colts is a boring franchise its up there with the browns and the texans

[Drew.]

Star QB, some star receivers, great colours.. very promising side.

[Brother Leon]

Andrew Luck will make Colts interesting.

[BBfanUSA]

By the way, I've been seeing alot of positive reaction from former NFL Players, Current Players, Coaches, Owners, and reporters regarding Sam.

[Drew.]

i am so **** at Madden, but my first touchdown was beautiful

[BBfanUSA]

You scored it against the Browns...doesn't count

[BBfanUSA]

Story on the Dolphins' Bullying Case Report
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10455447/miami-dolphins-bullying-report-released-richie-incognito-others-responsible-harassment

[MTVN]

Ray Rice is the first arrest of off season after getting in a fight with his fiancee

[Drew.]

Some guy posted this on the NFL forum.

"Tailgate32 is an adventure web series that follows brothers Mike & John as they road trip America to tailgate 32 NFL games in one season. Exploring the American traditions of road tripping, tailgating, and football fan culture, they push themselves to the extremes on this 25000-mile nonstop trek, struggle with an RV that seems to have a mind of its own, and discover what drives the world's most passionate and colorful fans."

Pretty good for newcomers and people looking to find a team to support still.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLO7gCpW5lQ&feature=share&list=PLA41D72FECDA1002A

[Brother Leon]

Tailgating seems super cool. One thing I do actually envy from American sport fan culture.

[Drew.]

Some of these fans and traditions are crazy, the amount of beer and food they get through is nut.. i want to do something like this badly. Houston, Green Bay and Baltimore are my favourites so far.

[BBfanUSA]

I've tailgated with some friends before a HS Football game before. It's great, we didn't drink but we played some FB and ate some food before the game.

How can you leave out Marching Bands? Some of the College ones are brilliant . I was in a High School Marching Band actually. It's hard as hell and It can wear you out, We went through a week long camp and everything.

[MTVN]

Ray Rice is the first arrest of off season after getting in a fight with his fiancee

Will probably be cut by the Ravens now, video pretty much confirms that he knocked her out

OETH5brfTi4

[Drew.]

Jesus what an absolute ****head

[BBfanUSA]

Teams need to be more responsible for their players. Tired of this s***

[BBfanUSA]

Combine has begun, it's essentially a training camp for potential players to show off skills

[King Gizzard]

http://i.imgur.com/XFW0aGM.gif

[King Gizzard]

The reaction was from watching this guy

http://i.imgur.com/oV4vZsA.jpg

[Drew.]

I kept seeing his name on twitter the other night, He ran a 40 yard dash in 4.53 seconds.

[BBfanUSA]

He did this a year ago.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVw50e_udg8

[Drew.]

Jesuss

[King Gizzard]

in no other sport would you get that much praise and applause for just running into someone

[BBfanUSA]

ESPN kept that as the Best of the Best Top Plays for weeks, they had to retire it after a year.

On the other side of the spectrum, Matt Sanchez's Butt Fumble (Where he not only ran into the butt of a offensive lineman, he managed to drop the ball at the same and a Patriots player took it back) stayed on the Worst of the Worst for weeks.

[King Gizzard]

maybe I have a chance in the nfl I can run into people

[BBfanUSA]

Tampa Bay has a new uniform....really Glazer family?

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/03/tampa-bay-buccaneers-uniforms/

[BBfanUSA]

Brett Farve must be hitting the gym to keep himself busy (He's also an offensive cooridnator at a high school in his homestate)
https://twitter.com/stevebraband/status/440866302584819712/photo/1

[BBfanUSA]

So, Free Agency has started, A few good players have been cut, and Broncos all of the sudden realizing they have a **** ton of money are buying all the players!

Aquired today
Dallas' DE DeMarcus Ware
NE CB Aqib Talib
Safety TJ Ward

Looks like they're trying to be a hard team to face even after Manning Retires.

[King Gizzard]

When is the draft?

[MTVN]

May 8th it starts

So, Free Agency has started, A few good players have been cut, and Broncos all of the sudden realizing they have a **** ton of money are buying all the players!

Aquired today
Dallas' DE DeMarcus Ware
NE CB Aqib Talib
Safety TJ Ward

Looks like they're trying to be a hard team to face even after Manning Retires.

Great signings, massive boost to the secondary in particular which let us down a bit at times last season

[King Gizzard]

Any reason why the free agency is done so early then

[MTVN]

Dunno really just to give them plenty of time I guess, free agency won't end till the 2nd of May

[BBfanUSA]

The Draft is very late this year but it's still the same schedule used in the last few years.

1st Round is Friday
2nd-3rd is Saturday
4th-7th is Sunday

Oh and Saints' Darren Sproles found out he was getting traded via twitter thanks to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter (Who's a great insider, one of the best.). He now wants to be released.

[Brother Leon]

Patriots sign Revis!!

[Brother Leon]

http://ocnnreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Darrelle-Revis-5.jpg

[BBfanUSA]

Bears just basically gave up, They failed to sign Josh McCown, Tampa Bay picked him up for a two year 10 mil contract, could be 15 depending on playtime.

He's a great player so I hope he does well. Why do the bears think Cutler is the QB for them? :bored:

[BBfanUSA]

Julius Peppers has signed with the Green Bay Packers with a 3 year deal,

he was a Chicago Bears player.

Excuse me while I LOL.

[BBfanUSA]

Colts Owner Jim Irsay arrested for drunken driving
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10621335/jim-irsay-indianapolis-colts-owner-arrested-suspected-dwi

[BBfanUSA]

Jets Release Matt Sanchez and sign Micheal Vick.

might be playing for the Jets' Starting QB job....but I expect him to basically be a mentor to Geno Smith.

[BBfanUSA]

So get this...

Marc Sanchez, who was released by the jets, just signed with the Eagles. Who lost Vick to the Jets in Free Agency.

[BBfanUSA]

2015 Pro Bowl is going to be played in Arizona the week before the super bowl.

Hopefully they keep the format from last year as well.

[BBfanUSA]

49ers QB Colin Kaepernick is being investigated by Miami Police for an incident at a area hotel.

Why does all the bad things happen in Miami?

[Roy Mars III]

being in the state of Florida makes people go insane.

[BBfanUSA]

I know, Aaron Hernandez might be linked to murders in Miami, There's Beiber, and now this.

Best stay out of Florida, no wonder Jacksonville is rumored to move to LA all the time.

[MTVN]

Think the Colts definitely are the right team for you Drew

http://www.whufc.com/javaImages/e1/87/0,,12562~12748769,00.jpg

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck and tight end Coby Fleener were guests of the Hammers for the Barclays Premier League fixture with Liverpool. American footballers Luck, who stands 6'4", and close friend and former Stanford University team-mate Fleener, 6'6", are both enthusiastic fans of what Americans commonly call soccer.

Luck, who spent part of his childhood living in west London, and Fleener thoroughly enjoyed their first visit to the Boleyn Ground, asking countless questions about the team, the history of the Club and the Hammers' upcoming move to the Olympic Stadium.

[BBfanUSA]

Oh yeah, when they introduced the new US Away Kit for the WC, they had a bunch of celebs wearing it as well. Luck was among them.

[BBfanUSA]

Another day, Another 49ers player doing something stupid
Aldon Smith, LB, was recently arrestted in Airport just for yelling "Bomb!" and not being nice with the TSA people
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/49ers/2014/04/13/49ers-linebacker-aldon-smith-arrested-at-airport/7683243/

[BBfanUSA]

They're releasing the schedules tonight for all the teams at 8 PM ET US

If you're new the schedules usually go like this
6 games home and away against the other teams in your division
4 games against another division in your conference (2 Home and 2 Away)
4 games against another division in the other conference (2 Home and 2 Away)
2 games against teams that performed similarily to you in the standings (1 Home and 1 Away)
(So teams with losing records get teams with losing records and vice versa.)

Also the time for the Falcons Lions London game was announced to be at 1 PM GMT.
Game will be on in the US at 8 AM, meaning for the first time ever, there will be 4 time periods within a week

[BBfanUSA]

Schedules are out, Season will start September 4th with the traditional SB winner kicking off the season at home. This year will be the rematch of the infamous Fail Mary, Seattle will be hosting Green Bay.

http://www.nfl.com/schedules

[BBfanUSA]

Guess what's in one week? The NFL Draft. FINALLY!

[BBfanUSA]

First round of the draft tonight.

I predict that Houston will draft Johnny Manzel tonight as the first pick.

[MTVN]

First round is live on Sky for us from midnight, not hugely exciting from a Bronco stand point but I'll try and stay up for our pick

[BBfanUSA]

Oh, the two channels in the US that will be broadcasting the draft this year. (ESPN and NFL Network) will not be spoiling the picks before they're revealed by commissioner Goodell.

So if you want to know the picks before they're revealed, you're going to have to turn to CBS' people.

Not sure if Sky has some people that will.

[MTVN]

Think we get the NFL Network feed so guess we wont have them spoiled, prefer that

[Drew.]

Never watched the draft before, Will have to get onto the NFL UK forums tonight to catch up with everything and read about how it all works, fingers crossed its similar to the NBA draft.

[Drew.]

Still haven't decided on which team to properly follow, it's impossible to pick when you've got no connections with America :think:

[Drew.]

Right then, hopefully this doesn't confuse me too much

[MTVN]

Nah its pretty straightforward really, not sure what the NBA one is like but its pretty easy to pick up the process here

Only thing is I don't follow college at all so have no idea who the best players are

[Drew.]

Yeah thats the annoying thing.. So many more players in the NFL to the NBA it's really hard to know who is who. Its easy to remember who the best players are going into an NBA draft.

[Brother Leon]

Johnny Manziel for #1. No one else do I know :idc:

[Drew.]

Kept seeing his name bought up on the NFL UK forums, the only name i can remember.

[Brother Leon]

http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/article/media_slots/photos/000/792/619/lebron-johnny-manziel-1_original.jpg?1364829869

[MTVN]

Mock draft I saw yesterday didn't have him going till 16 with the Cowboys, that would be surprising though since he'll surely be the first QB to go

Texans might go defense with Jadevon Clowney first pick instead

[BBfanUSA]

Jadevon Clowney is the guy who knocked a college player's helmet off and picked up a fumble in the same play.

And yes, a player has the name of Ha Ha Clinton Dix

[Drew.]

#NFLDraft2014 one of the top UK trends, good to see the popularity of NFL growing.

[Drew.]

I'm ready

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/nfl-draft-scout/24553672/nfl-draft-quality-mystery-plentiful-in-top-100

[BBfanUSA]

Do you think we can get enough people for a TiBB Fantasy League up and going for the NFL?

[Drew.]

I'd be up for it

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BnJrEAaIMAEvNFK.jpg:large

[MTVN]

Could give it a go, we might be able to get an 8 team league together or something

[MTVN]

Absolute beast of a guy

[Drew.]

Howd they get that shirt printed so quick :think:

[BBfanUSA]

Howd they get that shirt printed so quick :think:

They have them printed out in advance.

They seriously have them for every team for every player invited to show up. Just in case.

[Drew.]

Bet they've cocked that up a few times in the past and brang the wrong shirt out

[BBfanUSA]

It wouldn't surprise me.

They also have a shirt for the final pick in the last round. They don't have a player's name on it but on the back it says Mr. Irrelevant.

I think they get a trip and some things too for being the last pick.

[Drew.]

I really like Oakland, hopefully they pick this Johnny Manziel

[MTVN]

Whey jog on Manziel

[Drew.]

That Maycock guy ruining the whole suspense by saying they'd probably pick him

[BBfanUSA]

ESPN's better but they have a blue room...that's on the stage and not enclosed...

Really?

[MTVN]

Dunno why the studio all know anyway, is it that hard to keep it a secret in the few minutes between them deciding and having it announced

[BBfanUSA]

Well, the Buffalo trade for the 4th was pretty quick.

[MTVN]

Hate to be drafted by the Bills

[BBfanUSA]

Hate to be drafted by the Jags, Bills, Browns, Raiders, Rams

[Drew.]

The big one up next

[BBfanUSA]

Inb4 Drew ragequits on American Football.

[Drew.]

Well i won't be following the Raiders, the jersey was the most attractive part.

[Brother Leon]

Drew will be supporting whoever drafts Manziel I bet.

[BBfanUSA]

Here comes the Glazers' team.

They manage TB just as bad as Man u

[Drew.]

How long down the list does it usually get before the main players start to die down and all the scrubs get picked off?

[MTVN]

I guess probably 15-20, they should all be amazing players through the first round but all the superstar names will probably will be gone by then

[Brother Leon]

Manziel's team mates going before him :joker:

[BBfanUSA]

You mean the guys coming out of the green room?

Most if not all are gone by the first round's last pick.

I think there have been instances where green roomers had to wait until the 2nd. (Which is Tomorrow with the 3rd. the rest are done on Saturday during the day)

[BBfanUSA]

Browns just traded and are on the clock.

They might get Manziel.

[Drew.]

Johnny Manziel a potential franchise QB & these fools ignoring him. If by some unheard of miracle he stays in and Packers get him then i'm with them.

Watch him get picked next

[BBfanUSA]

Packers have Aaron Rodgers,

No way in hell they draft another QB like Manziel. Asking Price would be too high.

[MTVN]

I guess Vikes, Titans and Cowboys are the upcoming ones who might be tempted by him

[Brother Leon]

If Vikings don't pick him then He could drop real low.

[BBfanUSA]

Cowboys won't, they're not competent enough to.

If Vikings pick him, he'd had a hard time running. Minnesota is playing in a college team's open stadium for the next two years and it gets COLD in Minneapolis in the winter.

[Drew.]

Cowboys will

[BBfanUSA]

MN is the next and I have a feeling they'll.

They need to convince fans to come see the Vikings in the cold for the next 2 years and I think Manziel could do that.

[BBfanUSA]

Yeah, he's going to drop now.

[MTVN]

Sanders made a bit of a hash of that Madden promo

[BBfanUSA]

This guy proposed to his girlfriend earlier today.

[Drew.]

Saw this guy on twitter earlier

[Drew.]

All these players so far on about 10-90k twitter followers, Manziel on over 800k.

[Brother Leon]

Seriously. If I'm an owner I demand my management to pick him. It's ticket sales :laugh:

[Drew.]

Ravens to do the unthinkable

[Drew.]

Bed is calling, i'll wait up until Packers pick.

[MTVN]

Yeah don't think I'm gonna make Denver's pick

[Brother Leon]

You big girles.....I don't even know when the Patriots pick... lol

EDIT: 29th pick...well damn..

[BBfanUSA]

Jerry Jones is insane enough to draft Manziel

[Drew.]

Would stay for the 49ers pick if i could, my eyes need rest though.

[MTVN]

Yeah probably not till about 4ish for the Pats lol

Cowboys to bottle it

[Drew.]

This is Manziels time to go

[Brother Leon]

If not now.... :joker:

[Drew.]

Christ

[MTVN]

:joker:

Well played 'Boys

[Drew.]

Piss of Flacco, Manziel is coming in

[BBfanUSA]

Did Goodell let a chuckle slip?

[Brother Leon]

Poor Johnny could be here all night..

[MTVN]

Not sure who else will risk going for him

Jets don't have the best QBs but they're not really desperate for one either compared to other positions, Cards or the Eagles maybe. Otherwise Browns will probably take him

[BBfanUSA]

Jets might but they just signed Vick from Free Agency.

[Drew.]

Manziels pick then bed, can't go knowing hes still sitting there all lonely

[Drew.]

Well Jets fans are twats

[Brother Leon]

Manziels pick then bed, can't go knowing hes still sitting there all lonely

You may not be sleeping for a while it seems :joker:

[Drew.]

Cards will take him surely

[Brother Leon]

464588773616271360

:joker:

[Brother Leon]

To think a suggested drinking game was have a shot for every pick that isn't Manziel....deaths all over America tomorrow morning :laugh:

[BBfanUSA]

ESPN has been playing a rock heavy version of The Man by Aloe Black coming in and out of commercials.

It's pretty good.

[BBfanUSA]

To think a suggested drinking game was have a shot for every pick that isn't Manziel....deaths all over America tomorrow morning :laugh:

I know...

I need to check on my mate.

[Drew.]

I want a cheese hat

[MTVN]

Ha Ha!

[Drew.]

Packers picking the guy with the GOAT name

[Brother Leon]

That Name>>

Salute that man :laugh:

[BBfanUSA]

LOL, ESPN just showed some GB fans and a Chicago fan tried sneaking his hat into the middle :laugh:

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

[MTVN]

This American guy on Sky just wants to go to bed now

[MTVN]

Ok Browns have got him

[BBfanUSA]

Browns are preparing to troll Manziel again, They just traded for Eagles pick. Who were on the clock.

[BBfanUSA]

yay, Drew can go to sleep!

[Brother Leon]

Cleveland LOL

How depressed must he be. No partying and girls for him.

[MTVN]

Pleased for Cleveland, always been one of my favourite teams outside Denver

Could always flop of course

[BBfanUSA]

I think Cleveland can finally turn it around this year .

They won't be a playoff team but they will be .500 or above.

[Drew.]

Hallelujah, Will have to add Cleveland to my shortlist of teams now.

[Brother Leon]

and.....half the viewers probably turn it off now. :laugh:

[MTVN]

http://cache3.asset-cache.net/gc/488857985-bradley-roby-of-the-ohio-state-buckeyes-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=X7WJLa88Cweo9HktRLaNXs2ZDaaFp%2B6WeFC%2FDFWp%2Bu YN86nPZ2y%2BJh65FqVWXUYe

A good pick by the sounds of it, secondary still needed strengthening and he sounds like a really talented player even if he was only the 5th CB to be selected. Though he was arrested last month for DUI but ah well

[BBfanUSA]

The 2nd and 3rd are tonight,

Each team will have less time on the clock to decide and there shouldn't be any one showing up in person.

They'll break to a bunch of players' parties as they receive the news though.

[King Gizzard]

http://usatftw.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/giphy.gif

I should have stuck with Cleveland when I first started

[Drew.]

Johnny and Ha Ha the two stand outs last night

[BBfanUSA]

Since the group seemed awfully big this year

Was there anyone left? I had to study.

[King Gizzard]

Ha Ha looked pissed off at his pick, so did a few of them

Clowney looked happy but that was probably just because he was 1st pick, Txans suck right?

[King Gizzard]

And the sooner you get picked the more money you make or something or did my brain make that up

[Drew.]

It's not on Sky tonight :sad:

[Brother Leon]

And the sooner you get picked the more money you make or something or did my brain make that up

Yeah. The contract salary falls every pick.

[Drew.]

Lebron is in

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BnOYZ7RIMAEJp0e.jpg

[BBfanUSA]

Yeah. The contract salary falls every pick.

Not every pick, Every round.

It depends on your position too.

[King Gizzard]

yeah I forgot that does tend to happen.

[Brother Leon]

Lebron going back to play in Cleveland and part with Johnny :laugh:

[BBfanUSA]

Minnsota bought the last pick from Seattle?

Good choice too.

[MTVN]

Ha Ha looked pissed off at his pick, so did a few of them

Clowney looked happy but that was probably just because he was 1st pick, Txans suck right?

Sorta but good thing about the NFL is that a terrible team one year could be a SB winning one within the next 5 or so seasons, so much easier to progress that a lot of the early picks will just love being a part of that

Texans have only been around about a decade but before this season they topped the AFC South two years running and got to the Divisionals both times

[Drew.]

Oakland have just drafted a QB so why didn't they get Manziel yesterday if they are after a QB?

[MTVN]

More pressing needs I guess, they've got Schaub at QB this season and they'll probably hoping he can do a decent job for the time being while they try and sort out all the other holes in their roster. They might bring in this new QB at some point in the season but they'd never consider throwing him in too early like some of the highest picked QBs in the draft are sometimes expected to do

[Drew.]

Ah that makes sense.. saw quite a few people saying Carr was a good draft for the Raiders but will probably sit out the first year so that explains it.

[Brother Leon]

The NBA one is so much easier to follow. Only 2 rounds, 30 picks each round and you get to know about 70% of them. I find my self Googling pretty much all these people and there are too many rounds to truly be on top of it all :laugh:

[BBfanUSA]

Openly Gay Player Micheal Sam has been drafted finally. Pick #249, by the St. Louis Rams.

He was this past year's SEC Defensive Player of the Year (SEC in College Football is La Liga to most of Europe for those that don't know) so I'm surprised he was on the board for that long.

[MTVN]

Our draft seems fairly good, only had 6 picks in the end but filled all our holes with players who can hopefully do a job straight away. We're sorta constrained by the fact our team is built is around Peyton and he probs only has 2 years left, maybe 3, so we need a more immediate impact

Not sure what we got for the picks we traded but hopefully it was useful

[Drew.]

Sounds like Oakland had a good draft, Was always drawn to them when i first started watching NFL because of their colours and fans but their team were known to be pretty bad. Getting a connection with a club is stressful business, will never be able to decide.

[BBfanUSA]

By the way, anyone that wasn't drafted are undrafted free agents.

Usuallly a bunch of people are signed this way.

yeah I know insane.

Draft is just there to promote Parity

[alex_front2]

Congrats to Michael Sam on draft pick.

[BBfanUSA]

Regarding Rookie jersey sales,

#1 is Johnny Manziel. #2 is Micheal Sam, 3 is Jadevon Clowney, 4 is Bridgewater, 5 is Brett Bortles

[Drew.]

A jersey with HaHa on the back would be my number one pick

[MTVN]

Silly everyone buying up Sam jerseys, at best he'll probably just play mainly special teams, at worst he might not even make the Rams roster

[Drew.]

I have been reading about NFL on websites and forums for ages now, Still haven't connected with a team fully, getting more and more drawn towards the Packers since the draft the more i read about them and watch videos of them though. But then the 49ers have Kaepernick & Smith who i like, history and decent colours but then Cleveland could be pretty good fun to follow now they've got Manziel.. Do i go for the cheese lovers, Kaepernick or Manziel :think:

[MTVN]

Suppose trouble with the Browns is there's no knowing how Manziel will do when the last two QBs the Browns drafted have flopped, and they've been pretty terrible for a long time now

[Drew.]

Yeah i have pretty much cancelled them out, Manziel was the only real thing that interested me about them but that's not really enough. Really getting drawn to the Packers though.

http://i.usatoday.net/communitymanager/_photos/the-huddle/2011/06/14/matthewsx-large.jpg

[BBfanUSA]

Join the Packer Nation

Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it.

[Drew.]

It has already happened Brandon

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bnx7cedCYAAg2Ym.jpg

[Drew.]

Never realised how big the Packers fan base over here was :omg:

[BBfanUSA]

Peyton Manning was arrested on Drug charges in Tenessee,

This Peyton Manning
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BoAndQJIEAARu0y.jpg

I just gave MTVN the scare of his life hopefully

[Drew.]

Brandon, talk to me my man, When can we go to a Packers game.

[BBfanUSA]

IDK when, I haven't been to one myself. I would kill to go to one.

[MTVN]

Peyton Manning was arrested on Drug charges in Tenessee,

This Peyton Manning
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BoAndQJIEAARu0y.jpg

I just gave MTVN the scare of his life hopefully

:joker: did for a split second but then of all the players in the NFL Peyton would be the last one for that to happen to

[Drew.]

Some of these Packers man caves are amazing, Americans do it right when it comes to memorabilia.

It's been on the news today and I figured that it needed to be posted here. (It's a pretty slow day)

Glad you posted it .

You may like our mancaves but I'm jealous of supporter sections, we don't really have that for any Professional sports. College and High school student sections are the closest thing to a supporters section overhere.

[Drew.]

That's a good thing about NFL though.. theres no violence amongst fans at games and stuff. I guess it kinda loses that atmosphere between rival fans at games though.

Time to convert my room into a man cave.

[BBfanUSA]

Not really, Oakland fans attacked a SF fan (They're close to each other) in a preseason game (Yeah, Preseason) once.

NFL Fans can be quite vicious, but it depends on the atmosphere and the socioeconomic factors in an area.

Green Bay and Chicago (Close Proximity, have faced each other since the 1920s) and Oakland and Kansas City (Were part of a league called the American Football League, it became a hit instantly (The Rivalry) . This league merged with the NFL and this merger led to the creation of the Super Bowl) are considered to be the most storied rivalries.

[BBfanUSA]

Minnesota has been tapped as the location for Super Bowl 52 in 2018.

The venue (Vikings' new Stadium) isn't built yet but it's supposed to be done by then and will be indoors.

Yeah obviously there will be the odd bit of violence but you could probably count the amount of times it happens on one hand.. Its pretty much a weekly thing with football.

Looks like Manziel is being sued for sexual harrassment http://www.scribd.com/doc/225775703/Samantha-Schacher-v-Johnny-Manziel

[BBfanUSA]

I forgot to mention that the NFL has a huge crime problem Drew.

£25m!? Funny how that suddenly comes out now hes in the NFL.

[King Gizzard]

and it'll take him most of the first half of his playing career to pay off

Police have issued a warrant for the arrest of Denver Broncos' safety T.J. Ward after he allegedly got into a fight with staff at a Denver strip club earlier this month.

The scuffle ensued after the 27-year-old, who signed with the team just two months ago, brought alcohol into PT's All Nude after he thought the establishment had allowed him to do so, the Denver Post reported.

But once inside, he was questioned by wait staff and a confrontation ensued - with Ward allegedly throwing an object at a female bartender, sources told 9News.

Reading that lawsuit now,

Hot Dog Selfie? Constantly talking about his dick?

Yeah, that screams tool.

Will Smith involved in movie about concussions and the NFL http://awfulannouncing.com/2014/will-smith-set-to-star-in-an-nfl-movie-about-concussions.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=will-smith-set-to-star-in-an-nfl-movie-about-concussions

Also there's a new lawsuit involving concussions, which isn't quite shocking. But Dan Marino (Former Dolphins Star QB, Now NFL on CBS pundit) joined the players in suing the NFL but then removed his name the same day. He wasn't known for having concussions but did have two over the course of his career.

[BBfanUSA]

Richard Sherman will be on the cover of Madden NFL '15

[MTVN]

Good stuff, should mean he has a sh*t season this year then

[Drew.]

I am stupidly excited about the season beginning, these long breaks are a killer.

[BBfanUSA]

Remember when Brett Farve got it.

I think the Penis Pic scandal came out the same year.

[BBfanUSA]

The Washington Redskins have lost their trademarks on the name Redskins.

Meaning anyone can own the trademark, meaning more than likely the owner is going to have to change the team name.

Because now they're losing millions of dollars because apparel makers no longer have to pay in order to buy gear with Redskins on it.

It's been removed because it is considered offensive to Native Americans

Tut tut Johnny

[Brother Leon]

I don't think it's ever been so exciting for Cleveland Sports fans. Johnny Manziel in the NFL, Andrew Wiggins and possibly Lebron in the NBA. I guess the City deserves it :laugh:

[BBfanUSA]

Oh look Johnny is making origami

[BBfanUSA]

Broncos Owner Pat Bowlen is stepping down and letting Team President Joe Ellis be in charge of the day to day operations of the team.

Pat has Alzheimer's so this really isn't a shock to the team or organization. He has no intentions of selling the team.

[BBfanUSA]

Training Camp has begun for most of the teams,

Preseason games (which all teams have 4) start August 3rd, with the Hall of Fame game. Buffalo and NY Giants are involved with that fixture.

Regular Season starts September 4th, with the Packers @ Seahawks

[MTVN]

Broncos beat the Seahawks 21-16 in pre-season, a better victory than their one over us in the Super Bowl some might say

[Drew.]

Finally less than a month to go, have been checking up on the NFL uk forum weekly since the end of last season.. This is the first season where I've been this excited about it.

[BBfanUSA]

Manziel played last night, 7-11 for about 63 yards and had a couple excellent scrambles but didn't score. His team lost 14-13 to the Browns

Micheal Sam, NFL's first openly gay player also played.

Also I went on a vacation to DC and on the road trip there, I visited Canton Ohio on the day of the Hall of Fame Game and went to the pro fb hall of fame. It's a great place to visit. The Bust Room is amazing, I love how accurate and detailed they have gotten over time. It's a bit expensive to get in for a museum though (There's other things there, like interactive exhibits such as the history of the league and other leagues that existed over the years)

[JerseyWins]

I can't wait for this season, more so than most other years. Not a Browns fan but I'm also pumped to see Johnny Manziel. Even though Hoyer's not a bad QB I'd really hope they start Manziel ASAP.

[BBfanUSA]

Lions not Browns. :p

[MTVN]

But Manziel plays for the Browns? :think:

Oh was that you correcting your earlier post

[BBfanUSA]

MTVN might want to reconsider his favorite team
watch?v=qMor6dL0LfI

[BBfanUSA]

Cleveland won't be starting Manziel.

This past week he flipped off the Redskins bench. That showed some immaturity.

[King Gizzard]

Michael Sam released already

[BBfanUSA]

Could either be signed to the Rams practice squad or another team could be picking him up on waviers.

We'll have to see.

Also I have my fantasy league draft tonight, wish me luck.

[Drew.]

Oakland have released Crawford, only one Brit left standing in the nfl now.

[BBfanUSA]

No one has picked Sam off Waivers or signed him to a practice squad.

so WWE is having him show up Monday Night on Raw. During the first week of the season.

[BBfanUSA]

Denver WR Wes Welker suspended 6 games for a failed Drug Test. Ampathetamies/Performance Enhancing Drugs.

Dallas Cowboys have signed Sam to their Practice Squad as well. Hope he gets to turn that into a starting spot. I think he has the potential. He was Defensive Player of the Year in the College Equivalent of the EPL.

[MTVN]

Apparently it was MDMA Welker took while he was at the Kentucky Derby where he just started handing out $100 bills to everyone ffs lol

462735607366971394

[King Gizzard]

Isn't Michael Sam going to Cowboys now?

[MTVN]

He is joining the practice squad I think but he may not make their actual 53 man roster for the proper games

[Drew.]

1 day to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BBfanUSA]

I have a Packers Man Cave flag hanging in my room. I'm ready for Thursday

I need to get on to posting the NFL Hall of Fame pics. Alot of interesting pics.

[King Gizzard]

when is Iowa going to get it's own team

The Iowa Iguanas

[BBfanUSA]

The reason why we don't have an NFL team is because then Minnesota would be jealous.

We do have an Indoor Football team though. They were in the Arena Football League this year but they decided to switch leagues because it would save money and the Arena Football League is starting to make mistakes that led to bankruptcy in the first place.

EDIT: Iowa actually has two, Cedar Rapids and Des Moines (uses Iowa) both now in the same league

Great doc on sky sports 1 of the story behind the Seahawks season last year

[BBfanUSA]

Seattle and Green Bay should be kicking off soon, I'd say in 30 minutes.

Last regular season game they played each other in was the infamous Fail Mary game.

[King Gizzard]

reynolds is such a helmet

[BBfanUSA]

Pre game ceremonies coming up next.

[Drew.]

I hear Ariana is singing the anthem

[King Gizzard]

naked

[Drew.]

Well you don't get that at QPR - Hull

[BBfanUSA]

I hear Ariana is singing the anthem

I know, I was hoping to be free of that tonight since I watch BBUSA.

Recording the eviction since they're announcing a twist tonight.

[BBfanUSA]

This opening is amazing, I dunno if you guys can see it. (I assume you are.)

[King Gizzard]

no we have got neil reynolds and this jobber analyzing stuff

[Drew.]

Sky need to get Cecil Martin back Asap

[BBfanUSA]

So you aren't getting Al Micheals and Cris Collinsworth?

The Anthem hasn't been played but they revealed the championship banner and Seattle coming out of the tunnel.

[King Gizzard]

it must be a rights/ads/sponsorship issue

[King Gizzard]

centurylink is so awesome. need to go there at least once

[BBfanUSA]

The MLS games there are awesome on TV as well. Although most of the games they only use the lower bowl and a bit of the upper. Bigger games they use the whole stadium. Typically sellout games all the time. Rare to see it half empty.

[Drew.]

BALL

[BBfanUSA]

Seattle wins Coin Toss, defers to second. Green Bay starts with the ball.

[BBfanUSA]

NFL Week 1 is today (or Sunday games are)

The night game is Indy @ Denver

CBS is getting shafted in the 2nd game. It's offering Oakland vs Jets...It's their main game. :laugh:

[BBfanUSA]

Watching the first round of games,

Fox is offering Bears and Bills (Yawn, No mood to see Chicago win) so I'm watching Tennessee and Kansas City. Surprised KC is only up 3-0.

EDIT: just found out Chicago is down by Ten. Never Mind, I'm watching it.

[BBfanUSA]

Chicago has brought Buffalo into overtime but it looks like Buffalo will get the upset win.
