NFL/NCAA 2006 season thread

They were. Nowhere near all season ticket holders turned up though. There'll be practically no fans coming form the US so its basically just pot luck to see who gets the ticklets sold for wembley. There's no waiting list or anything like that. I'll be trying anyway

an article on the sky sports site says the average attendances for nfl games this past season was a new record,over 67,000,thats amazing and 97% of games were sold out but thats because the stadiums are nearly all season ticketed now,i couldnt imagine all the oakland raiders games were sold out every week

NFL tickets are not that hard to get unless you plan on going to see Green Bay at Lambeau. Those Wembley tickets will be grand

Michael Vick may be in a spot of bother. Story is that he was stopped at Miami International Airport with a bottle of liquid that had a secret compartment which may have contained some marijuana residue. He was allowed to board the plane anyway, even though he may be charged with a misdemeanor, pending the results of tests on the bottle. What ****es me off, is that if this were you or me, do you think we would have been allowed to continue with our trip? How stupid can you be not to know about restrictions on airlines nowadays? Not to mention trying to get, allegedly, marijuana past security. What a dumbass, if this proves to be true.

Was the flight booked in Ron Mexico's name?

Upset what odds? Grossman is terrible so unconsistently that it varies between plays whether you'll get the confident one of the terrified one who throws of his back foot. Its been pretty cold here the last few days, lets hope it holds up till Sunday

the countdown to superbowl begins, roll on feb 4 and manning getting a ring at last. i'm over in new york and as a colts fan i'm tempted to make use of the unlimited mileage on a rental car !!!!!!!!

Disappointed the Saints didn't make it. They seemed to have destiny on their side this year, but the monsters of the midway shut them down in the end. Grossman played mistake free, but the turnovers killed the Saints.

The Colts/Pats game was brilliant and fair play to Manning for not choking this time. I thought they might have fallen apart when he threw that Int, but their defense played pretty good in the second half and Manning was able to open it up a bit. And how about three offensive linemen scoring TD's!

Superbowl should be a good game, assuming Grossman doesn't lose his mind and the Colts special teams(almost cost them the game today) can contain Hester. Colts in a close one 27-24.

Its Florida v Tenessee in the QB battle & Manning is the last person I want to see get a ring.

Go Bears defence!

I was waiting for that.

**jebus** · 23/01/2007, 11:12 AM

Although I'll be rooting for the Bears this year I can see the Colts taking the Super Bowl to be honest. The manner of their comeback against New England makes me think they'll have the momentum going into the game, still can't wait for the big day/big drinking session!

**Dodge** · 23/01/2007, 11:30 AM

Don't really mind which team wins. Have always liked he bears and being in Chicago in December added to it. Unlike some here, Id really like to see manning win a superbowl though, might put some of his doubters down

**max power** · 23/01/2007, 11:44 AM

there is more than Manning, think of Harrison ( the paul scholes of the NFL). he just goes about his work and does his job, no flashmess like some players ( cowboys headcase ) .

Dungy has also done a great job with the franchise. really looking forward to it, its not just football, its colts football

**Aberdonian Stu** · 23/01/2007, 4:22 PM

Tomorrow evening (Wednesday) on TG4 players from the DCU Saints, including myself, will be talking about playing football in Ireland.

If you want to check it out it's on around 6.20pm (it won't be listed in the schedules) before Pimp My Ride.

Oh and in case you're wondering which one I am my real name is Emmet.

So would I and now that he has managed at last to overcome Tom Brady and the Pats I think this will be his year. For the Bears, Grossman's performance will be key and while he did ok against the Saints I think there is still a big question mark over him. I reckon when it comes down to the pressures of a Superbowl then you would have to favour Manning and the Colts especially after that comeback performance on Sunday.

don't mind who wins it as i quite like them both , i think grossmann will probably let the bears down , pity the saints didnt make it. and deffo would like to see manning get his ring although lovie smith getting his would certainly be good too

**eamo1** · 02/02/2007, 12:06 PM

,too bad i dont have an extra few quid handy to put on them as bears are favourites by some distance for some reason.manning to get a ring and be an even greater legend
