I can never understand the hype about this game which has no reason to be shown in the uk and is of very little interest to the vast majority of the people. Perhaps its me.

It's sport BG. Some people like different sports. I find egg chasing the most mind numbingly boring thing ever.

I couldn't care less about the Six Nations but it's publicised everywhere as being really important..... and fair enough. Some people like to watch fat men running into each other. To each their own.

Amazing match, I think the best team won and I can't remember ever watching a team go through a match without punting or their QB getting sacked.

They SACK people during a match? Seems a bit harsh.

I think there were about 20 of us on here who watched it. Clearly no real interest in the game. [emoji6]
 








Were there any punts in the game? I can't remember seeing any.

What I dont understand is that they tried to get it to take off in this country but there was a distinct lack of interest so why bother to show it for a few.

This is possibly because I do not understand the game.

I take it nobody else listened to this:-

Jeff Ma & Rufus Peabody talk propbets, think Tony Bloom bearing his soul.
All that's missing is Hot Hands Spazgoula.

when taking about bets I seem to remember Rufus saying missed kicks and 2 point attempts was were you'd find the value bets.
Although as said these 2 only really talk in a language Mr Bloom would understand.
(Jeff Ma is the card counting shark that the film 21 is based on)

Here we go again.

The algorithm is extrapolating it's world and applying it to the rest of the country.

BG old boy, they first started showing the game in the 80’s on Channel 4, watched my first Super Bowl in 86, Bears v Pats in the Super Dome NO, Pats lost that one too btw, I promise you it took off !! They sell out 3 games a season in London!
