Yeah, they were. They started off in Oakland, moved to LA then returned later to Oakland

From what I hear the problem in Los Angeles has always been a stadium. The people of Los Angeles refused to pay for a stadium. The NFL held their breath but the people of LA would not budge. Finally the Rams owner agreed to pay for the stadium himself and the Chargers feel that they will get a better deal sharing a stadium in LA (and some of the cost) than having to build their own stadium in San Diego. The Chargers were also not going to get the people of San Diego to pay for their stadium.

The Falcons were really impressive last night. There's too many threats on offence to cover everyone. They can beat anyone on their day.

Was underwhelmed by the Patriots. They're beatable.

Hard to see past the Cowboys tonight. Packers on a good run but losing their leading receiver Jordy Nelson - receptions (97), receiving yards (1,257) and touchdown catches (14) in the regular season - is a massive blow. Rookies and platers shoehorned into positions. Still, while there's Aa-Rod there's hope.

The Chiefs-Steelers game has been pushed back to the 1am slot our time by the way, which is rather annoying. I think this will be a very close game. Steelers have rattled off 7 wins in a row but the only teams you would qualify as decent are the Giants and possibly the Ravens in that timespan. Since getting smashed at the Steelers in week 4 the Chiefs have beaten the Raiders (With Carr) twice, the Broncos twice and the Falcons in Atlanta and their 2 losses have come by a total of 4 points. With that in mind and home field advantage I'm taking the Chiefs 24-20, as long as Andy Reid doesn't have one of his patented playoff clock-meltdowns.

Boys to beat the Packers but hoping for the opposite.

[MENTION=24934]anygivensunday[/MENTION] is given the 'Sports Movie Hall of Fame' treatment in this weeks edition.

I've not listened to it myself, but the others, Moneyball & Jerry Maguire, have been good fun.

Edit - It would help if I posted the link:-

The Falcons were very impressive; the NFC Championship game will be fascinating. Slightly off-topic, has there ever been a worse presenter than the one on Sky Sports NFL?

Do you mean Dara? She is a slight improvement on Kevin Cadle but Sky really need a new anchor. The specialist guys and Neil Reynolds are okay. Would love to see Nicky Horne back although they would need a high chair!

Yes, Dara. I got used to Kevin, and I don't find her an improvement at all. Unbelievably grating to me, but there you go. I'd probably let Neil Reynolds host it.

Personally really hoping for a packers win tonight so we get a Falcons v Packers, Ryan v Rodgers showdown in the final ever game at the Georgia Dome, winner goes to the Super Bowl! Plus I think we can beat the packers again!

Rodgers is imperious

That's what happens when you have rookies chasing the biggest game of their lives.

Stat Brother · Jan 16, 2017

Hell of a stop by the Cowgirls.

I've got a bad feeling.

Haha...come on Cowboys. Prescott playing a blinder - 2 point conversion.

I'm like catnip to failure.

The moment I pipe up, boom, it all goes horribly wrong.

Only one winner from here.
