NFL Fan in England predicts NFL 2009 Week 3 games

Another day another dollar. Well another week and another lowly 9-7 prediction score.
Two weeks gone and I am a rather abysmal 18-14. Lets hope Week 3 brings some stability to my crystal ball gazing skills.
My tip for performance of the week goes to Felix Jones of the Dallas Cowboys who I predict will go over [...]

Ruud and Barber are 2009 NFL Wembley ticket stars

With a month to go until the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the New England Patriots it was with a great sense of relief that I was able to go to my local sorting office this morning to pick up my tickets.

Jason Campbell still looks like a deer facing some headlights

Is it me or is this what Jason Campbell looks like every week?

I’ve snapped.

I just had the latest USA Today Sports weekly arrive through my letter box, and upon skimming the first few pages I came across the ‘experts’ predictions.
To see how my predictions compare or contrast with these gurus of the gridiron I placed a magazine over the page and decided to make my own predictions before [...]

Enough talk of kissing rings please Mr Collinsworth

Now that’s what I call bling !

It was with that sense of Santa Claus coming down the chimney bearing gifts aplenty that I just about managed to stay awake for the opening kickoff of the 2009 NFL season.
 
Bearing in mind that it was getting past 1.30am here in England when the Tennessee Titans Rob Bironas [...]

Redskins perform funny handshake – Mason style

Call me old fashioned but I do love a ‘Rudy’ style underdog overcoming adversity type story.
This particular episode involves the Washington Redskins 4th string running back who finally avoided a visit from the turk.
Marcus Mason has toiled hard over the past three seasons, bouncing from the Redskins to the Baltimore Ravens to the New York Jets [...]
