I am surprised how popular this sport is in the states. Personally I've never met anybody in my life who's watching it.

:wth: Where you from?

:wth: Where you from?

Born in Lithuania, been living in the UK for the past 5 years.

Here in England, once I saw two boys throwing that football around in a park. That's it.

But yeah, across Eastern Europe it is non-existent sport.

Pretty weird...they even play few NFL matches in Wembley at some point of the season (not sure how long have they been doing that though).

Even I know many people who follow NFL and almost nobody here in Finland gives a rat's ass about NFL (people here only follow ice hockey, other winter sports, maybe boxing or something and EPL if they follow football).

If I ever get to Philly, you and I are going to Geno's

You got it bro. I prefer Jim’s but you can’t go wrong with Geno’s.

Where I live now (Nottingham) they only care about football and some pakistani play cricket. I suppose it could be more of Londoners thing or other bigger cities that have communities of this sport. Not trying to make a dig at this game.

NFL is pretty big as a spectator sport in UK there's even talk about a London franchise. But even bigger in Germany to my knowledge. In Germany there is a decent amount playing the sport. Decent following in Denmark as well.

we had a handegg team wreck our bundesliga turf since 1991

I think that NFL Europe may have had 5 or 6 teams in Germany at one time. That might have something to do with its popularity

Free beer along the parade route?



In Philadelphia?


Oh god What could possibly go wrong

And the Patriots have lost both their offensive and defensive coordinators

Free beer!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

And what's going on with the Pats?

 

[Maddy]

And what's going on with the Pats?

Nothing "going on". They had two very talented coordinators in Patricia and McDaniels, that now wanna try their luck in a HC role. It's McDaniels' 2nd attempt after the Broncos job back in 09-10.

With Belichick and Brady they'll be a contender next season.

That was happening before the Super Bowl.

Butler to the 49ers makes sense on so many levels.

McDaniels is staying in Boston.

McDaniels is staying in Boston.

And in the meantime has probably cost himself any other head coaching job in the future.

He agreed in principle to coach the Colts 3 weeks ago.

He hired a full staff of assistant coaches. And now this happens. A staff that will now have to work for a coach whom didn't hire them, or worse yet, have their contracts cancelled and be out of a job.

Now, if he does end up being the Patriots head coach eventually, he will be directly replacing the greatest coach of all time, and would have to replace the greatest QB of all time. A no-win situation for him.

Why do you think he changed his mind? And if the Colts hire another HC wouldn't he assign his new staff?
