Ive been pats fan since 96 or 97 when i started watching football with my dad (who lived in boston during his grad/phd schoolyears). it was heartbreaking when they lost last year at the superbowl. Unfortunately i havent really kept up since then...sc started taking up all my time. haha.

I have a Pats hat signed to me from Drew Bledsoe.
I always slap that in haters faces when they call me a bandwagoner.

Sucks when your team(s) are winning and you have to deal with that shit.

It's funny....every guy in England (I think) has a secret desire to throw the NFL football. Whenever we take it to the park all the guys stop to watch and are like shouting 'damn why did I have to get YOU :@' angrily at their frisbees inside their heads.

I have no proof that I supported the patriots before they were good but well I just picked them out of the teams that I knew from the madden game that my friend had xD back when I was a lil kiddie. Same goes for the dallas mavericks. I just liked that it had England in the title and also that they were the Patriots because I like a bit of Patriotism.

The USA's national anthem is by my mind the best in the world!

PS rofl on the music show called Jools Holland that I was watching he was like 'NOW, please give it up for the legendary Booker T!' and I was like 'what the hell is the 5 time WCW champion doing on a MUSIC SHOW ><!' Shame on me :p.

If you get a chance, try to watch a college football game at some point. Obviously the players aren't as fast or strong as in the NFL, but the environment is a lot louder and the games are more emotional. Things like home field advantage carry a lot more weight.

So no fek

I'm a big Chargers fan, but I'm also partial to the Ravens. I just got into the NFL a few seasons ago.

I would love to watch NCAA football. I also think the idea of weaker teams getting better draft choices is FUCKING cool. Gives depth throughout.

So does ANYONE have any opinions on the me being able to watch NFL thing? Good streaming, sports channels in England, any ideas? I'll do some rooting around but wondered if someone could give me a head start.

ALSO I would love if someone can link me to some classic football games streamed. It pisses me off to have to DL them.

i asked my dad about watching old games once, and he thought it was weird, or that it was only exciting live or something. im not sure if a lot of people have that frame of mind but it's not easy to find em.

i love college football. you can't beat the atmosphere.

check out these vids:

this is our football stadium with F-18 flyover before the big game against ohio state

you can feel the intensity of the crowd (this isn't even in the student section where it's twice as loud)

make one in the sports and games section. I would love that shit.

My new created team the Brooklyn Tommy Guns is just about to make it to superbowl if I can just beat these pesky sea hawks! I had to kill the patriots earlier D:
