And now they're punishing us with this diabolical jingoistic tuneless braindead sh1t.

Yeah I've idea who the lad singing is. But it was nice to see the chief bob costas on my screen.

He said freedom and flag an awful lot.A shot at kaep ?

Slept at 9pm. Woke up at 10pm. Feel even more wrecked. Time for coffee methinks.

First time in a few years that I've been able to stay up late to watch a primetime game.

Start a new job on Tuesday so I'll enjoy this weekend as best I can.

Didn't realise that BBC 5 Live are doing radio commentaries of the NFL.

I dunno, this sort of flags and troops and freedom ****e seems to float around the NFL a lot anyway. It's a good cover-up for complete mediocrity.

Speaking of which, there's another blast of it on right now...this is embarrassing, especially the crowd.

It does make you want to see someone get hit so in that sense it's perfect. Shame they won't be hitting one of these singers.

Damn American ads.. making me hungry as hell.

Cam 7/4 on paddy power to score a TD anytime. €€€€€€

Is there a max bet on that? Printing money with that one.

Still, you can't go wrong with that. €35 profit on your 20.

No panel on Sky Sports for late night games?

JaMarcusHustle

Small bet on the first TD being defensive or special teams at 7/1.

That_Guy

I fúcking hate the US national anthem.

Realt Dearg Sec

Who was that kneeling during the anthem?

EDIT Brandon Marshall.

A bronco refusing to stand more useless tension teams don't need

Nice odds that. Hopefully it's for Luuuuuke, one of favourite current players.

It's time for some football!

ScummyMan

Over/under 15 on number of times new touch back rule is explained this weekend?

Agent J

Football! (Also who the hell is the Bronco QB?)

JaMarcusHustle

I really think Michael Schofield could have a... breakout.... season.

I hope someone gets that

Siemian. He's looked pretty good on his opening couple of plays

I get jokes.

JaMarcusHustle

Welcome to the NFL regular season Devontae Booker :pac:

Knex*

Very nice start by Siemian, then it all gets ruined by a way too careless looking fumble from the rookie rb. Frustrating for Denver, I imagine.

ScummyMan

Just as I was typing that this was an unexpectedly good drive :pac:

JaMarcusHustle

That was always Bookers problem in college.

That_Guy

And Devontae Booker was never seen again...

Knex*

Never saw Johnson make the play the first time. Not quite as bad a fumble as I first thought

That_Guy

2 timeouts burned already. Ouch.

UnitedIrishman

Could've had a free play there but instead burn a timeout.

JaMarcusHustle

Too easy that one.

Knex*

Did not expect Benjamin to step up so big so immediately. Frightening to think what himself and Cam will be like if he kicks on from his rookie year

That_Guy

Didn't see too much by way of taunting in that....

AbusesToilets

Powerful drive from the Panthers, Stewart did a great job breaking the tackle and getting the 1st down earlier. Benjamin looking like a monster already.

That_Guy

So Denver do actually have an offence.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand just as I type, they turn it over Eli Manning style.

ScummyMan

This is already way better than the superbowl.

coco0981

2 turnovers already for Denver. Siemian has actually started well despite that throw

In Exile

I think he actually looks fairly good. Doesn't look too overawed and has, mostly, taken the right option. Even that throw last unlucky. A couple of inches higher and it looks amazing.

Interesting to see how he goes now after an interception

Knex*

I love when fullbacks score. Even better when its a rookie on his first carry!

That_Guy

Big fan of that full back carrying the ball with two hands into the endzone despite nobody near him.

AbusesToilets

Pretty special there alright.

That_Guy

Cam not happy.

AbusesToilets

Denver not doing great against the Panther's running game.

That_Guy

Cam's agility when under pressure is a joy to watch.

Lovely

AbusesToilets

3rd 12 men penalty against Denver in the half, so much for homefield advantage. Panthers running all over Denver so far.

That_Guy

Chip sandwich and tea. Desperately needed at this stage.

Realt Dearg Sec

It's been entertaining anyway. Cam remains the most enjoyable player to watch in the league IMO.

Sounds good. It is nearly lunchtime here, so kinda getting hungry now!
