NFL Discussion

Anyway, have you guys settled on a schedule yet? I’m thinking about trying out some flag football first, then seeing where things go from there.
Also, can someone point me toward where to buy a football in Washington, D.C.? My ball went flat and I haven't been able to find a decent one anywhere in the city—all I keep seeing are rugby balls.

We haven't finalized anything, but we're working on it. We still need a few more players here in Washington, D.C.

So hit us up at: americki-nogomet@net.hr so we can add you to the list and tell the others to reach out too.

Once that's done, we can figure out the gear and the rest of the details...

Someone suggested we meet up at Miami Beach once in a while, grab some food, and just sit down to talk about our next moves.

What do you guys think??

Catch you later.😉

European rugby is just built different.

First off, the play doesn't just stop; they just reset for the next down.

Second: under NFL rules, it’s not a dead ball just because a guy hits his knee. It only counts if an opponent forces him down. If he just trips or falls on his own, he gets right back up and keeps running. That's how it works.

As for rugby being "something else"—yeah, you're not wrong there.

Honestly, without rugby, we probably wouldn't even have American football. Mad respect to those rugby players; they've definitely got guts. And yeah, I'm talking about the ball shape too.👍

Dammit, I've been scanning through every single one of the 40 channels I have access to, and there isn't a single broadcast on any of them!

I know for a fact there's going to be a crowd at Hooters watching the SB.

Honestly, I’ll probably end up there myself!

--Talking about the ball (darkgardener5)-- I spotted two of them at the Cisalf over at King Kross Jankomir.

If my eyes didn't deceive me, they should be priced right around $50.

Look, if you can't find one... I've got two... I could hook you up with one... or just grab some in Italy...

Quick heads-up:

I'm heading out to New York City on Sunday the 13th and Sunday the 27th to play with the Mustangs club (is that how you spell it???)—let me know if anyone wants in...

In case you want to see what's actually going on behind the scenes of the football action...

young.but.dead said:The Super Bowl is on tonight, watching ORF1, listening to those American commentators

Everything would be perfect if this channel wasn't encrypted...😢>

The schedule says it runs from 12:15 to 1:00 AM on ABC
I've watched American football before, and my gut tells me a game lasts way longer than just forty-five minutes...?

Is it possible they’re only broadcasting the first quarter? 😁

If they're planning on broadcasting the whole Super Bowl, we're looking at a finish time around 3:00 AM. 😕

Here we go, I’m honestly just counting down the minutes until that commercial break and the concert starts in about half an hour😁😁 but anyway, the crew is finally getting together and the game is kicking off right now😉

What kind of "chicken wings" are we talking about? Send me some suggestions... maybe pair them with a beer too... though I'm not really sure what's good in the US yet.

👋

Looks like 14-7 for the Patriots. Looks like Tom Brady finally woke up!

The wings were killer and the beer was Stella😉 I’ve been training my Americans to actually appreciate a decent European brew. As for the game? Honestly, kind of a letdown, and halftime was a total snooze fest—plus those commercials were just straight-up garbage. At least the company was good 👍

Yeah, I missed that one too... $33 😢

Heh, I just cleared an easy $20😉

I am absolutely livid with Donovan McNabb... those deep passes he kept throwing were nothing short of disastrous. 😠 That being said, if we’re looking at the cold, hard facts, the Patriots truly earned this championship title... I mean, when the pressure is at its absolute peak, Tom Brady just completely dominates the field.

Boring game, at least for the first three quarters. I actually fell asleep later on. The halftime show was a total letdown too—I was expecting some high-energy performers, but instead, I get old man Paul McCartney. 😁

I caught it on ESPN; they had the game on FTA

I pulled in a little less: some Chinese takeout from the corner spot and a Coca-Cola.👍

bash😁

Next time, I'm betting against you.😎
