[Other Sport] Official NFL Thread 2023/2024

[The Lemming Stomper]

Just watched the first two episodes of the new Netflix documentary 'Quarterback' focusing on three of them ( Kirk Cousins, Marcus Mariota and Patrick Mahomes ) during the last season...

Very enjoyable watch in the closed season, the main thing I learned was Kirk Cousins is so boring he makes Ned Flanders look like Keith Richards ( lovely wife though )

You've only just realised that!?
My lad watched it last night and thought it was great. Will try and watch it too when I get a chance.

Watched the first two episodes last night aswell! Nice little place holder before training camp gets under way. The show just reinforced how flipping good Mahomes is, he is unreal. Kirk is joyfully dull, didn't really enjoy his return to Washington though . Mariota was my fave Oregon QB so even though he didn't have the greatest season it will be fun watching him on this show too.

Anyone else have their Game Pass renew today? I normally paid monthly. DAZN have taken the whole lot in one go

Stopped paying for gamepass a couple of years ago as it got too expensive so now use an 'alternative provider' to get my games

Yes livid.
Was offered multiple assurances by DAZN.

Rubbish

Yep. Have exactly the same issue - have emailed them asking for a refund.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Me too. Completely out of the blue. Normally pay in instalments so a bit of a shock.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Thanks chaps. Not just me then. Very annoyed. Email on the way to them.

 

[Hotchilidog]

The Internet is not happy with DAZN at all. I can see subscription numbers going down after this debacle.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Pricks

 

[Guinness Boy]

So, if you're after a refund and you use the DAZN refund process you'll get in a loop of no agents online and none on the phone. If you start the auto chat by selecting 'Help with NFL Game Pass" instead you should get an agent. Once they've agreed a refund you can click on the three dots on the top left and request a transcript is emailed to you. Looks like I'm back to Sky / watching the updates of the Bears losing in the 4th.

Former Seahawks, Ravens RB Alex Collins dead at 28 as result of motorcycle crash

Former NFL running back Alex Collins, who played three seasons with the Seattle Seahawks and two with the Baltimore Ravens, has died. He was 28.

Very sad news, and a horrible way to go. Always thought Collins was a solid player out the backfield whenever called upon. Hadn't realised that he had been out the NFL for a couple of seasons though...

I'll put this here rather than starting a new thread. I'm sure you've all seen 'The Blind Side', but I was very sad to read this story about Michael Oher:

Michael Oher, subject of The Blind Side, and 'adoptive parents' in legal feud

Ex-NFL star Michael Oher says a couple enriched themselves off his name. They say it's an extortion attempt.

www.bbc.co.uk

I loved 'The Blind Side'. I remember at the time having the teeniest of doubts about the story, but I thought Oher must have been ok with it, and the Tuohys, otherwise he wouldn't have gone along with the project. Now it turns out he never liked his portrayal in the film, and he thinks the Tuohys lied to him.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

They should re-name the new series of Hard Knocks...

'Hard Knocks...Training Camp with Aaron Rodgers'

Not a patch on the mighty Lions one previously

Agree.

Said exactly the same The Aaron Rodgers show

Read the article via another source, interesting but the film was released some time ago when he was still playing, and now he’s offended?

Yeah, the film was released in 2010, so as you say, why now? If I was to be ultra ultra cynical I'd say that now he's stopped playing he needs the money and sees this as a bit of a 'get rich quick' scheme. On the other hand he may have waited until now as he didn't want the distraction of a court case during his playing career. A third, and maybe worse option, is that the head injuries he suffered during his playing career have altered his personality to the extent where he now sees his family as 'the enemy'.

Whatever, I think it's sad. Still like the film though.
