@Bailey this is a great time to jump on the Denver bandwagon. We drafted a new QB. With 9 years of abysmal play, poor management and coaching , and shit draft picks and trades…the tables are destined to turn and we will reclaim our status as one of the Crown Jewels in the NFL. So it shall be written. So it shall be done!!

@Bailey whatever you choose, don't let it be the Steelers. Or the Bengals!

[goosehd]

@Oaktavia Are you saying there’s something wrong with @Alex

[goosehd]

…you know he could put a special tax/delivery charge on all packages going to WV…

[Bailey]

Hahaha @goosehd

[Oaktavia]

@goosehd obviously I was referring to this guy

[A Former User]

@goosehd i didn’t see any of that written there but maybe you can come by in the NL for some new glasses

[goosehd]

I’ll see myself out…Browns fan not Bengals.

[Tago Mago]

No matter what team you end up picking, it’s still the wrong kind of football

@SKT It’s on!

[Matt]

I’m not ready yet. I’m still recovering.

[SKT]

Lotta time between now and then. What a game to kick off the season though.

[Oaktavia]

@SKT feck me wow what a way to open.

[Jett129]

I've seen a couple of other schedule leaks. Jets/49ers first Monday Night game,which,when,considering what happened last year when the Jets opened the first MNF game, should have some pretty high ratings,not to mention Saleh will be playing against his old team for the first time. And The Chiefs second Revenge Game,(for the other team)is Sunday Sept.15th against The Bengals at Arrowhead. Should be fun.

Let’s see if Aaron Rodger’s can last more than 4 snaps…

Also games in Munich (NYG v CAR) and São Paulo (GBP v PHI)

[Jett129]

@Nocturama Absolutely love the Shoulda bought a hat joke. Been telling it a lot lately.

@Nocturama 3 London games this year!? The market must be doing well cross the pond.

I asked this before but didn’t hear anything, any of you Brits can chime in on the vibe the NFL is having amongst the population over there? Is it gaining steam?

[Matt]

Xmas day game for us. Love those.

There have been multiple games a year for years, mate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_International_Series#London_Games

I'm not sure if I would say it is still gaining steam, but you can see from the increase in games over time, and the attendence stats on the link above that all the games are typically sell outs, and NFL in general is pretty popular.

They were talking about moving a franchise here for a while (the Jags - see how often they have been the "home" team) but that idea lost traction when they started doing well in like 2016/17, and I think people underestimate the time difference's impact on players. Would be tough for teams from the west coast to travel to London often, for example.
