On Sunday the Pittsburgh Steelers will be playing their game against the Vikings in London. Apparently the NFL wants there to eventually be a football team in London. Ummm, does anyone else think that this is incredibly stupid? It’s called the NATIONAL football league. Not the NFL plus oh yeah London too.

If I followed football at all my former team(Vikings) would stomp all over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Dean, the penguins is the hockey team.
So what, I’m trying to pull your leg. I’m not a sports fan at all, doesn’t football and hockey intersect in the 10th dimension on Alpha Centurai?
Yes, yes I think they do.
Dean, you just proved that, not only are you a nerd (as I am), you are also a GEEK.
Yeah, Science fiction not fantasy was one of the mainstays of growing up. I went into programming because it was fun and easy. One of the best books I read lately was The Physics of Superheroes, you get to learn physics while seeing old comic strips.
I think those egotistical powers-that-be in the NFL are tired of those Brits usurping the name “football” for that silly little sport named “soccer.” Also, similar problem with NHL.
What happens in the NHL? Why is that a problem?
All those Canadian teams.
I grew up thinking soccer as football. Now Rugby, that’s closer to American football but more violent. Anyone for a WFL (World football league) because NFL wants a piece of the world. Think of the World Cup in soccer-big money to had globally. But yeah, it’s dumb.
You’re onto something with the WFL idea. But other countries would get confused calling it football.
But there WAS a WFL, and it highlighted some wonderful players who hadn’t made it into the NFL, until the WFL broke.
Rugby, rugby, though. My son and his friends play rugby, and even went to the last rugby World Cup (yes, they love rugby, but it was in New Zealand, so that may have been the draw). I don’t have a clue when I watch rugby unless my son commentates throughout the game.
I don’t have a clue about anything sporty.
Does that include “sporty,” as in the fashion? Or just sports in general?
Lol no just sports.
That is very sad! I’d love to have a father who worked in sports. Instead, mine was a pathologist with just as bad a bed-side manner as that requires.
It’s obviously cheating either the Steeler or Viking fans out of a home game. Seems like a bad idea from all viewpoints.
Both teams are 0-3 right now. This will be a hell of a game. (sarcasm)
Your sarcasm made me LOL! I think the Steelers will get th win as they might be better than their record. Last week’s loss to my beloved Bears, showed their issues are offensive-related.
The only reason I like the Steelers is because of Troy Polamalu, not because I’m from Pittsburgh.
Yes, Polamolu – gotta LOVE that hair!!
I’m a steeler fan living GA go figure.
There’s always the Pats to root for – yes, ALWAYS the Pats!
Tom Brady is hot, I would add him to the list along with Dexter and Daniel Tosh, but he’s married with kids.
Well, at least you know that much about sports.
Haha, true that’s something. Wanna know something funny…sad maybe? My father WORKS for the Steelers but has a wife and two daughters that could give a crap about football!!!!!!
Does that bother him?
Well, it doesn’t bother him because I’m not a sports fan, if it wasn’t his job I don’t think he’d be a big sports guy. I’m only very interetested when I’m trying to impress a guy. 🙂 Boyfriends have always been very very impressed by his job.
So am I – impressed by his job, that is. I want that job, unless it’s coaching. He can keep his job if it’s coaching. I’d spend too much time watching, not advising.
He’s actually in TV, he produces the games and stuff. But he gets to pal around with all the sports people, that’s what makes it so impressive.
Like Troy Aikman when he does the color commentation? That settles it – I want your father’s job.
If you would like my job Barb – it’s yours! You can deal with the egos and crazies! Actually, it is a great job. I have no idea how I ended up doing this.
