2009/2010 NFL Thread

Went down to Runaway Bay yesterday to watch the Sting Rays vs the Bears. One of my mates plays for the Bears, otherwise I wouldn't have driven that far.

It was obvious that it was the first game of the season - very scrappy.

Anyone who is interested - next weeks game is at Grosvenor Park, Browns Plains at 4.

What is the comp like? Obviously its not NFL or NCAA, but I have been tossing up giving it a crack. MLB/TE yo!

Well - to put in in perspective the Australian juniors got beaten 63-0 or something by the USA juniors last year.

It's by no means high quality, but it's good fun. I played one season with the Bears before Uni and work took all my time away.

I was played on both sides, G and DE. Was good fun. You should watch a game.

Kick off at 4 at Grosvenor park today if anyone is interested. I have been here for 20 minutes watching the juniors and I have seen 4 INT's already...haha.

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -- The Oakland Raiders took a big step toward improving their struggling run defense by acquiring five-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Richard Seymour from the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Holy crap.

Great move for them.

[Clintos]

[pennywisealfie]

Announced a couple of days ago - but I only just read it.

New England Patriots LB Tedy Bruschi announced his retirement today, closing his 13-year career as one of the most productive Patriots players in the team's 50-year history. As a team captain, Bruschi's relentless work ethic and on-field intensity helped set the tone for the entire team.

I knew the time was coming - but he was my favourite player and will definitely be missed in the Pats' defense. 13 Years with the one club, suffering a stroke and then returning to the NFL, and a player that did a lot for the community. He was the type of player every team should have.

 

[pennywisealfie]

good to hear. hes a good player. anything that helps the pats succeed less is good news imo.

 

[Clintos]

Junior Seau is talking about a return again too. Haha

Oh, and **** you PWA!

 

[pennywisealfie]

haha i know im not alone dude. you either love the pats or really hate them.

 

[Je$ter]

Bruschi is a good player, but there is talk of him being a possible HOFer, which I reckon is ridiculous.

He was good, not great.

True. They're the Manly Sea Eagles of the NFL.

THE SEASON HAS STARTED!

The Steelers defeated the Titans in OT 13-10.

Roethlisberger lead the way with 33/43 for 363 yards and a TD.

I watched the first ten minutes of the game and Pittsburgh were just all over the Titans.
Stoked that I can now watch games on One HD. It sucked to miss every game of the season bar the Super Bowl.
