Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Would love to see the NFL programming on ESPN rather than Sky as they have more liberal rules with product placement

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Thanks Kymmy. :)
Now what would make it perfect would be if Channel 4 would use this ident to start the programe. :D [img]Download Failed (1)[/img] |
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Thanks for all the info.
Really looking forward to the new season. Just a shame that sky have so many of the games but at least channel 4 is back with one game a week (im to young to remember it first time around). Wonder if it will be HD or not. Now all i need is for Virgin to put a bigger hard drive in my V+ box and im sorted |
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Good news about channel 4, god rid of sports a few months back as it was hard to justify just for NFL.
Was satisfied with just getting Collage football on ESPN, last season was great. JJ |

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Watching all these clips is making me feel very old.

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
I first watch American Football In the 70's when ITV World of Sport showed the super bowl in the era of the Steelers three Super Bowl wins and the steel curtain.
|
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Started myself in the mid 80's... one of the first games I ever watched was Superbowl XX and I've been a Bears fan ever since :)

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
My first experience of it was Superbowl XIX (San Francisco 49ers vs. Miami Dolphins), and I only watched it out of curiosity. Before the first quarter was finished, I was hooked; after that I watched the regular seasons until I moved into my own flat (and thus away from the parents' TV) in 1999.
I remember the Bears' runaway season ('85) - 15 wins, 1 loss, wasn't it? And that season the Green Bay Packers blasted in out of nowhere ('96) after 29 years of obscurity - no longer the underdogs but a serious team. Bret Favre was a hell of a quarterback in Superbowl XXXI - that season was a real pleasure to watch. |

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
As if things couldn't get any better, it's been announced that the hosts for Channel 4's coverage will be Gary Imlach and Mike Carlson. :D

There's a preview of tonight's game on BBC Radio 5 (not 5 Live Sports Extra) at 21:00.
Also, for those without Sky Sports tonights season opener will be broadcast on 5 Live Sports Extra. |

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
I don't know whether I am being overly picky, but you have stated in the first post that SKy will show 18:00 games and 21:15 games.
Now as most NFL fans know, the later afternoon games can start at either 21:05 or 21:15. Am I reading too much into this, or will Sky only go for the 21:15 starts. I know there was some furore in recent seasons with games overlapping and missing the start of Game 2, so I was wondering whether this is a conscious decision to try and reduce the chance of overrunning?:angel: |
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
It will be the 21:05 or 21:15 games.
|
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Oh boy, have I ever missed Sunday NFL Countdown! :D
|
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Why do we always have to watch teams take knees when the other game has already started? Why do Sky never switch to the other game when the first one is clearly over?
|
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Remember guys if you're recording C4's game tonight to also set the program after to record in case of extra time
|
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Or set a manual record with plenty of time.
Apparently the game will also be available to watch on 4OD as well. |

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Channel 4's coverage is great so far, and even if it's not it HD at least it's in widescreen. Mind you, with Imlach and Carlson at the helm it could be in Marconi 405-line and I'd be happy. :D

Nice to see NFL at a normal time :) and on Sky Sports HD
Sunday September 19th 6:00pm Sky Sports 2 Chicago @ Dallas Sunday September 19th 9:15pm Sky Sports 2 New England @ NY Jets I missed the C4 Sunday/Early Monday Kick Off, I know it starts at 1am but what time is actual KO time? I maybe wrong but I dont recall this much live NFL last season, I know the ESPN deal was new but has C4 always had NFL and Ive just missed it? At the moment I can not keep up or shall I say stay up:) |
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Looking forward to the Jets doing a number on Brady.

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
As I understand it it's because the studio that Sunset and Vine are using isn't set up for HD transmission, and it's not cost-effective for a niche product like the NFL. At least we're getting a widescreen broadcast rather than the 4:3 brodcast we got from Five last year.
|
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
What a game last night - having missed one game so far I must admit last nights game was the best yet.
Also not sure what others think but ESPN NFL coverage is miles ahead of Sky and C4, well that’s my opinion anyway. |

As a Bears Fan The best game I have seen is Da Bears win over the Cowgirls on Sunday. The only problem with ESPN's coverage is the ad breaks other than that I really enjoy it. I also look forward to Monday night countdown it leads nicely into the game:D |

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
There is a massive Game tonight between the Packers and Da Bears at soldier field in Chicago.
This match could have a major influence on who wins the NFC North division. I am hopeful that the Monsters of the Midway can send the Cheeseheads packing (excuse the puns) :D:D:D |
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Just started watching the Bears at the Giants (from last sunday), 6 minutes in and 2 sacks on Cutler :( and then a near fumble on a Giants punt - stupid idiot could have ran it the 3 yards for a first down...)
---------- Post added at 11:32 ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 ---------- 5 minutes left in the 2nd quarter and there's a total of 9 official sacks on Cutler :( Giants should be about 40 points up instead of the current scoreline of 0-3 :banghead: |
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
For those lucky enough to have a Sky Sports HD subscription this Sunday's games are on Sky Sports 2.

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Wonder who is going to pick up Moss now?
Might be interesting now to see how long Childress lasts. |

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Will be interesting to see what TO does if the Bengals don't start winning

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
It will be interesting to see if Moss is picked by any one!

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Well who would have guessed it Moss to Titans and Merryman to the Bills!

For those without ESPN who fancy a late night on Monday night, BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra will be broadcasting next week's MNF game live.

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Again I've avoided the thread until I had a chance to see the Bear's NFL championship game.. If only they could stop making little mistakes as they had a decent chance..
OK, who's your favorite to win on Sunday.. Packers or Steelers?? I'm edging on the Packers this year after getting lasts years correct ;) |
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Quote:
As a Bears fan I can only support The Steelers, rivalry's etc. I think it will a very close game if Marquis Pouncey the centre for the Steelers is not playing which is extremely likely then that could well be the difference. Centre is a very specialised position you cannot just plug another centre in and expect it to work without a hitch, The Packers have some of the best defensive schemes in the league so it will be difficult for Ben. Then again he is famous for his ability to make plays when all seems lost. I am sure it will be a great game, the Super Bowl day is my favourite sports day of the year its like the FA Cup final used to be 20 odd years ago.:D |
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
I think the Steelers will probably win it this year.
So, what channel is everyone going to be watching the Superbowl on? BBC1 HD or Sky Sports HD? I'll probably be watching on the BBC as Nick Halling is really irritating when the Steelers are playing. |
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
In bed streaming it to the laptop from an SD sat feed (I messed up my body clock yesterday with an early run out that we had to do :( )

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Radios reporting that people are already turning up to the car park with a parking fee of $200.. Most though won't even have match tickets and are there for the gathering with most BBQ'ing
|
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
I shall watch NFL countdown on ESPNA and the game on BBC HD, no adds and no Nick halling going on about the Steelers all evening, however , I would have liked to here Shaun Gayle' analysis live from the game on sky, but Mike Carlson is good enough.

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
As a steelers fan.. the only thing I have to say is... The HT Show was awesome!
|
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Very good 2 point conversion they did.. pity the game went against them and they didn't get their final winning touchdown..
:clap: Well done Packers and a totally enjoyable superbowl :clap: Just really glad that it didn't turn into the low scoring game everyone was fearing |
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
It was a very good Super Bowl that's 5 or 6 in a row. If only the FA Cup Final could capture some of the magic of Super Bowl Sunday. Back in the seventies and early eights Cup Final Day was the biggest sporting day around the world, it has sadly been over taken.

Re: NFL season 2010/2011
If only though Nelson hadn't dropped those two catches, it would have been a runaway score with a very different MVP
|
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Quote:
Maybe it's simply because of the broadcasting and fame I guess. Anyway the FA Cup will probably never recover that spark, the closest rival we have to the Superbowl is the Champions League Final. It's already the 2nd biggest regular sporting event in the world, in terms of TV Coverage, and UEFA are obviously gunning for first spot. Hence the move to a Saturday evening.. |

Newbie Question:
If a team knows they won't make the post season what is too stop them throwing their games in order to achieve the worst season record and hence the first pick in next years draft? |
Re: NFL season 2010/2011

It can be quite late in the season till a team knows for sure that they won't get to the playoffs so it may not happen very often If the players/coaches/owners were to do it and got caught I imagine the NFL might take action and ban/suspend the guilty parties |
Re: NFL season 2010/2011
Can't see fans standing for it. Also don't really think having first pick in the draft is THAT much of an advantage.

There are many many top players that were never taken in the first round of the draft to mention one Tom Brady 6 th round compensation pick,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Brady there are many others. Admitted you have better chance of landing a good player in the higher rounds, but there are no guarantees, there are numerous high picks who have ended up as a bust eg Jamarcus Russell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JaMarcus_Russell there is also the massive salery that goes with a high round pick Russell signed a six-year contract worth up to $68 million, with $31.5 million guaranteed. He is now out of the league and the Raiders have had to right off the money. So you can see the first pick is not a guarantee of anything. |

The NFL rookie combine starts today and live coverage starts on Saturday on NFL.com if anyone is interested
