While most of you are either organising your tiger halloween outfit for tonight, gloating over your 45second Springbok bus tour cellphone footage or maybe learning for your exams on friday morning there are 300 million people engrossed in their domestic sporting league, the NFL.
Why I mention this is because over the weekend was the first time in NFL histroy that a regulation in season game was played in another country. The Miami Dolphins moved their home arena to Wembly Stadium to host the NY Giants this past sunday. [the first 40000 tickets went in 90minutes] Dolphins lost 13-10 thanks to a carry rushing best by Giants QB Eli Manning. The funny thing is the English came out in droves to support the home side, which lost. Proving that if you're supported by the English you're doomed to lose...
"I give in a 10, a fuckin' ten..."
Keep your finger poised on the PVR trigger of Sunday 4th November. The only two remaining unbeaten sides go head to head in Indy as the Colts [7-0] host the New England Patriots [8-0]. Peyton Manning v Tom Brady, Tony Dungy v Bill Belichick.
It should be epic and won't end up the superbowl as both side are in the AFC. I won't be watching because of exams, I promise Mom!
