NFL :football:

Just watched 15 mins to get 1min 30 actionā€¦ Utter poop of a sport

Baseballā€™s the same. We went to a ball game once or twice when we were in the states. The game (for want of a better word) was a minor distraction from the main event which was hanging out with friends, drinking, eating hotdogs, singing the odd song etc etc ā€¦

I grew up watching the excellent coverage on C4 in the 80ā€™s. I get what you mean but I find that mix of different athletic specialisms, high technical skill, and strategy worth the stop-start nature of the game. Also much better to watch in the flesh, it makes more sense, and you can engage in the eat/ drink fest. The BBQā€™s and parties around the stadiums before the game are something else too.

Also the draft system means that itā€™s very competitive and teams only get continued success based on their coaching and game management skills rather than their commercial ability in trying to buy the best players which is utterly ruining football.

Meh.

Love it. Looks like his mistress was set up by him to head up a lobby group that then channeled money into UKIP. I so fucking hope this is true and the pair of them are bought to book for it.
