america is really full of cunts isnt it :)

oh god dam yes.

Load of shit

one of the most overated events of the year

The fact that people watch this amazes me....

The fact that I am watching it is even more incredible. No way I'm staying up late though. Football, yes. Rugby, yes. Cricket, maybe. American football? Nahhh

You're all uneducated cuntrags :D

Who do you want to win tonight Leggett?

I want the blacks to win

I always support the underdogs.

Pittsburgh, I think rothlisburger (sp?) Is ace, and the cardinals bore me.

Go Cardinals!

that was a bloody good game!

Just saw this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7864733.stm

The final comment nearly made me spit out my drink

Brilliant!..only in America,was a good superbowl though.

half-time show was ace. the 100 yard touchdown was pretty fun too.

Top game, shame the Cards lost.  Got my ticket to boo the Patriots next season, too.  Yay me, Boo Pats.

saw up to half time...bed called when springstein started:) that hundred yard 'rty' as jake humphries kept saying was something special,considering the bloke looked like he'd had one too many pies and pints.and needed the oxygen throughout half time.

it was a proper team effort, without the superb blocks made by the other steelers they'd have wrapped him up midfield.

It was indeed a great game. Much closer than I thought it would be. What a shame Pittsburgh won though. I really hate them. I actually hate them us much as Oxford. It all hinged on the Pittsburgh interception just before half time. The Cardinals are a great team to watch, I don't know how anyone can find them boring ???

I also have my tickets for the Wembley game in October. I'm hoping to see a couple of games in The States as well. Not sure where yet.

I may be going over to watch the Jets the week before the Wembley game, if it's at 'home', and if I can get tickets.  NY's a great city.

I don't know how you were thinking of getting tickets but I've used this before and they are excellent...www.ticketsolutions.com

Cheers OST, I was going to try through the official site, but a recommendation is always good.

Word.

And worth repeating. Again and again and again.

You know it 8)

Fantastic journalism by the sun today, a tiny 16th of a page devoted to it, with a picture of santonio holmes holding the Lombardi trophy, with a caption underneatch saying "holmes with his MVP award". Fucking hell...

maybe the only put a 16th of a page cos no other fucking country plays it or gives a fuck?

Yep, that's pretty crap but in a way I'm quite glad. I wouldn't want it to get too popular (no need to worry about Mex coming over to the dark side I suspect) and they start up a franchise in London. To me, the NFL is all about America and part of what makes it unique. I'm quite happy going over there to watch games (although I'm also quite happy going to see one game a season at Wembley) I just like things how they are.

I didn't know Santonio Holmes got the MVP award but I'm not surprised. He is annoyingly good. Whenever people talk about the Steelers they go on about the defence but their offence is pretty shit hot as well. I hate them.

I'm gutted that the Evil Empire won a 6th Superbowl.

Just hope the Bucs can beat the Cheatriots at Wembley :)

Amen brother, hate those pats.

Why the hatred of the Pittsburgh Steelers?

Does Dan Marino still play?

one way or another i should be at the wembley game this year,, my dad is a buccs fan and says he's got tickets for the buccs club wembley seats, if not the gf's brother is going, is taking his wife too but if i cant get a ticket she'll duck out and i get it, sweet :D he's a pats fan tho, boooooooooo!

Don't like the Steelers, because the ref's do. 
Every 50/50 call goes their way, and the media just love the scumbags.

And No, Dan Marino doesn't play any more

For me, it's mainly because when you follow a particular team, you become immersed in the fan culture. In this case, the Cincinnati Bengals are my team (I seem to be drawn like a moth to a flame towards crappy sports teams) and their nemisis is/are The Steelers. My hatred of them is as genuine as it is irrational. That said, there are certain Steelers players who I genuinely think are, not to put too fine a point on it....cunts. Namely, Hines Ward (or Wines Hard as Bengals fans affectionately refer to him) who's slitty eyed little face I would happily set about with a baseball bat or Joey Porter (ok, he plays for Miami now but he will always be a Steeler at heart) who I think is a genuinely unpleasant person who would be a drug dealer/pimp/bear knuckle boxer if he wasn't a footballer (he may be the first two anyway). I like the Head Coach - Mike Tomlin and also Troy Polamalu, they seem like cool guys. Overall though, I hate them. I really do. Whatever team you follow in whatever sport, you have to have a hate figure.

Oh yes, I nearly forgot.

Dan Marino packed it in when Adam was a lad 8)

Probably my fave non-Jet.  Got a lot of time for Troy.  Good Hair.

Him and Ed Reed are = best defensive players this season. Easily.

Same as the Taylor fella. I spent 3 years living in Dayton Ohio, about 45 minutes north of Cincinnati. Naturally most locals support their nearest NFL franchise (shudder), so although I wouldn't really call myself a fan, I follow the fortunes of the Bungles.

Need I remind you OST, playoffs 05, first Quarter molestation of Palmer's knee. Never been the same QB since. Another fine reason to treat the Steelers as scum.

And as OST rightly said, the Bungles are fucking shit. which makes the Steelers winning the Superbowl harder to take.

An absolutely deliberate late hit. Yet another reason to hate those fuckers. And just to make it worse, this year was their sixth Super Bowl win. The most for any team, putting them one ahead of the Cowboys and 49ers. Mother fuckers.

I predict(hope) Palmer will be back to his best in '09 though 8)

After readin this thread i have realised i now support the Pitsburgh stealers, they sound ace.

No mex, they are like Oxford. Well not really as they're quite successful. You really CAN'T like the Steelers.......

I have super bowels just did a cracking fart!

Did you get a touchbrown?

Nah was a two point conversion of my meals from 2 days ago! :D

I'm going to support the Steelers. They sound like a good team to support and Pittsburgh is a beautiful part of America.

J!   E!   T!   S!   JETS JETS JETS!!!


that is all.


apart from to say i hope rexy boy does us proud, we got a decent core to the team, and i really wanna see us do better than those Blue and White cunts, the giants-pats superbowl was horrible to watch!

The first thing to do is get a new QB. Favre played like a prick in that last game against Miami and cost them the game. Yes he's a living legend....bla bla bla..but even living legends go past their sell by dates.

Yes, it's lovely:

Don't know if that was a typo or not but it does actually sum up the scumbags.

Because that's what they do, Steal wins with the help of the officials.


 
Thank God the Philthy Eagles didn't make it to the Superbowl, at least with the Cardinals I had one team I could want to win.

I think Ryan is the right man, after all we had his dad on the staff for SB3 (must be a good omen).  As OST rightly says, we need to replace Favre, although by playing like an arse in the final match he stopped the Pats getting to the play-offs, so it wasn't all bad.

The news is still strong that Ray Lewis could be on his way...he'll be a free agent and he's already said Ryan is like a father to him.  Lewis would be the big leader we need on defence.  Get a top QB (Cassel? shame the Pats franchised him - although not surprising), and Lewis and on we go to glory.

I can dream, can't I?

I think the Pats are going to need Cassel next season. Even if Brady's injury heels completely, he's not going to be 100% by any means. I have to say, I am a big fan of Byron Leftwich. OK, he's a bit of a dough boy but he's got a fantastic arm on him and he's fully fit again after loads of injury problems. He came on for Rothlessburger (sp) when he got injured against the Redskins back in October and he was excellent. The Steelers didn't miss a beat (unfortunately) He's an Unrestricted Free Agent and there's no way Pittsburgh will keep him. If not for the Jets, he will be a great signing for some one.

I can see the 'murderer' ending up in green and white though. And a great signing he would be. I don't pretend to know what the hell I'm talking about when it comes to football (i.e NFL) tactics but I would imagine that The Jets will go to a 3-4 defence as that's what The Ravens have had a lot of success with over the years (well, it's sort of based on 3-4 anyway). That should mean that Vernon Gholston, who they shelled out big bucks for in last year's draft and did sod all this season, will be a lot more effective. And having big Ray beside him will do him no harm whatsoever either.

I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in Free Agency, I just hope the Bengals re-sign Houshmandzadeh. They probably won't though. They never do anything I want them to (like win)

Didn't know you of all people liked it!

Sure do...and OST seems to know a lot about the Jets, for a Bengal!  Fair play, Leftwich could be one solution for sure.  I just can't see how the Pats will want to pay for both Cassel and Brady - it'll cost far too much.

As for Lewis, I think he'll give Gholston the kick up the arse he needs.  I was really pleased when we drafted VG as he was versatile and would fit into the way the Jets liked to play.  Not sure, after all the coaching changes, what the defence will look like next year, but I guess it'll be a version of Baltimore's...and who could blame them for that?

Whos the couple in your Avatar Shaun T?

It's the late great John Le Mesurier and a 'young friend'. It could be his wife actually, I think she was about 20 years younger than him. What a man 8)

Learn something new everyday.

Personally I'm not a fan, much prefer the NHL.

Ooh! ooh! ooh! News hot off the press - well, the NFL website actually...

Brett Favre has announced his retirement today.





Again.

I think he will stay retired this time though.

Good, we need the cap room...just at the start of Free Agency, thanks Brett, the timing is spot on.  :thumb:

i'd rather he stayed retired thanks, gave us a bump for one season, pushed us on a bit, hopefully we can kick on from here!

NHL is awesome. Went to see Tampa Bay Lightning twice, enjoyed them both immensely. Super fast sport and the game against the Hartford Whalers, was especially violent. Somebody got sinbinned for about 30 minutes, his list of offences was legendary!
