It's no worse than when the Raiders come to town. You should see how many police are needed for Chargers vs. Raiders due to all of the gang members.

Go Sproles!

ok...Raider nation wins....

Worst Fans in the NFL

Raiders
Eagles
Jets
...

They banned beer sales for the Jets last game...not sure if they were worried they'd try to burn down the stadium again, or if they were protecting them from themselves....I mean it was like 7 degrees that night...

HEY....better be able to stop the run next Sunday....

...and River's had better have a backup Jersey....you won't be able to read his name with all those grass stains...

Chargers played their third string for that game since they already had the title and first round bye locked in.

I still can't see the fascination with a game that stops every ten yards so that the TV stations can have an advert?!?

How long does it actually take in the real world to play a game?

I know most Americans don't understand cricket, so please don't come back on that one. Cricket is a slow paced game, American Football is supposed to be fast paced...

Scary isn't it. I don't understand half of their talk about Football ...

"You should see how many police are needed"

Sounds lame to me ... although I suppose football hooliganism is no longer our No 1 export

"I mean it was like 7 degrees that night..."

Sounds like Summer to me ...

Two great nations separately by a common language, poles part on sport, and one that thinks that 200 years is a long time and the other that thinks that 200 miles is a long way :)

oh, yeah...now soccer...there's a real entertaining game....

How is it they fall like they've been shot power a high powered rifle...only to get up a minute later like nothing happened?

And it doesnt matter...you like what you like...

However the NFL, and MLB and 2 of the most successful sports frachises in the world...you will be assimilated

Watched Rollerball the other day....now that's a cool sport

"How is it they fall like they've been shot power a high powered rifle...only to get up a minute later like nothing happened?"

Yeah, I'm with you on that. Bunch of nancy-boys.

To me Football would be Rugby-football. "rugby is a game for hooligans played by gentlemen" whereas soccer is the other way round ...

"And it doesnt matter...you like what you like"

Indeed. F1 Motor racing. Is that big over your way?

"However the NFL, and MLB and 2 of the most successful sports frachises in the world...you will be assimilated"

Oh dear, is this the "all of your bases are belong to us" thread?

My brother is going to the game on Sunday, so I'll ask him how bad the Jets fans are compared to the Raiders.

My son's second birthday is on Sunday, so I had to move his birthday party to Saturday just so that my family would show up! They love my son, but they sure love their American football.

My dad and I love soccer too, but the action just can't compare to American football. Soccer can get quite boring at times though with the very low scores.

Hey, 7 days and counting!!!!

GOOD LUCK...don't get too excited on Sunday....

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

man birthday's 5 days apart....

hmmmmmmmm...spring time in San Diego


EDIT: And that's my middle Daughter's BDAY....first you take my name, now my kid's bday....what's next...another girl?...She would have to be born on May 30th though

That impressed me too

"All my 3 kids set their own timeline...."

Yup, crisis-management rather than project-management here too!

It's a scheduled induction (not a c-section), so it's a regular delivery that is induced via petocin and breaking the water bag.

We actually had rain yesterday. It has been 80 degrees for a few weeks and that was getting annoying. It's supposed to be winter time! But I can't complain, the rest of the country is in blizzard conditions.

We're stopping at two kids. Cost of living and daycare over here is just too high to continue to have more, plus I'm getting too old for this.
