Why do they even show the NFL? Does anybody in the UK actually watch it, or give two shoots about American football?
It was quite popular in the 1980's when channel 4 had the rights to show many live games. i knew of blokes who bought all the body armour and them made up their own local teams. One bloke i knew of even went down my local pub after games still wearing his 'yank football' kit,complete with body armour and his helmet under his arm.
Not only that but he insisted on drinking nothing but Budweiser or bourbon and coke.
I wonder if he's still around and if he is does he look back and think what a tool he was.
Edit...Some must still play it as i cycled past Blackburn Rugby Club the other year and there was a yank football match taking place.
Another edit....Just remembered The bloke who wore his body armour in the pub also wore a stars and stripes bandana/headscarf
,which when sweaty he'd wring out by hand onto the pub carpet!
And another edit....He didn't say 'can i have a bottle of Budweiser please',or bourbon and coke please'. No,he'd say 'gimme a Bud' or 'gimme a bourbon and coke'.
If i'd been behind the bar serving him i would've said "Say pretty please,then i'll serve you".
