North London NFL

by

October is here, which means that the NFL games at Tottenham are only days away!

For many of you who have never been to London, or to a game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, we have a few tips, tricks and hints to help you plan your trip as we look at North London NFL.

Tottenham

Unlike Wembley which is located in Northwest London, Tottenham is in northeast London, and not a very quick trip if you get the stadiums  confused.

The area of Tottenham itself is pegged as ‘up and coming’ which roughly translates as ‘don’t go there at night.’

There isn’t much built up around the stadium, so if you are looking to hang around the area, or God forbid book a hotel in the are, we would say ‘NO!’. It’s not worth it.
The stadium is gorgeous and has all the food and drink you need within its dome.

Getting there is pretty straight forward, as it is served by the London overground, the tube and numerous buses. ‘White Hart Lane’ is a stop on the overground from Liverpool street, Hackney, as well as Seven Sisters Tube station. It gets pretty busy on game day, so it’s always good to have options.

Petrol Crisis

If you’re not living in Britain, you may not know that we have a petrol (gas) crisis on right now. Stations are rammed, neighbourhoods are frayed, and horn honking rules the day and night.

Driving and parking in the area isn’t advised as a result, not to mention the new construction problems, road works, and Sunday crowds which can put the kibosh on local driving.

London petrol stations are out of fuel, and those that do have it are lined up and prone to acts of idiocy and violence from pump hunters.

As a result, the price of Ubers has sky rocketed, with fares from Tottenham to central London rising over 2500% during the Anthony Joshua fight.
(taxis were going as high as £900 for a 20 minute ride).

Uber will be pricey and we’re low on drivers, tube & train stations will be packed, so look at buses and neighbourhood parking as a quick way out.

However you plan on getting around, the tube is probably your best option.

The Stadium

You will need to follow all the rules for the stadium under this new normal.

Visitors will need to be double vaxxed, show proof of this, and may be asked to leave if they fail to provide this.

For all the rules and regulations, make sure you check out here.

Close to

If you’re looking to be close to the stadium and not miss out on some London vibes, may we suggest the following areas to consider to stay and hang out.

Old Street-Close to Hackney, central London and the WHL (White Hart Lane), this area is always happening, and safe at night.

Finsbury Park-Located on most major travel lines, and very close to the stadium. Loads of students in this area make it a fun party place to go.

Wood Green-A diamond in the rough, this area has loads of new hotels and is only a 15 minute walk to the stadium.

Crouch End-A lovely village near Tottenham, this is close to the tubes and has excellent parking to reach the stadium. Not as busy, but a trendy, celebrity filled hood.

The Princess Alexandra

If you’re looking for a place to party before the game, and head to afterwards, consider the Princess Alexandra in Crouch End for your NFL Sunday Funday.

https://princessalexandran8.co.uk/

10 minutes from Finsbury Park station, this lovely local pub is a scant 15 minute bus ride directly to the stadium via the W3 bus.

The pub will be open early so that you can get your pregame burger and beers in, before grabbing the bus directly to the stadium.

After the game, hop back on the bus and your straight to the pub before many of your mates even make it through the queue at the White Hart Lane train station.

Best of all, the pub is open LATE on London game days, so that you can get stuck in to watch the NFL all night on their many TVs.

If you have any other questions about the NFL game at Tottenham, where to stay, or what other things you might need to know about the games, just get in touch!

Stay safe and see you Sunday at the Sports Bar & Grill Clapham, or Old Street.

 

 

Falcons Doc

by

Are you hungry for more and more NFL content?
Is the preseason still not enough to fill that gaping hole in your weekend?
Are you an Atlanta fan?
Then have we got the Falcons doc for you to watch!

‘Does anyone know how to throw a football’ is not your typical NFL documentary, in that it doesn’t use any footage from the NFL.
(they’re pretty cagey when it comes to allowing people to use their content).

Instead it is a well thought out, and edited documentary available for FREE on YouTube.

Obviously done by Falcons fans, the doc takes a look at the history of the Falcons, and the struggles that they have had in trying to put together a franchise that could win a Super Bowl.

It’s well researched, and employs news articles and stock images to tell a historically interesting piece that would interest more than Atlanta Falcons fans.

Part 1 is up, and part 2 was uploaded on Sat August 21st so that you can get your fill of NFL this weekend.

Falcons fans looking forward to watching their team play the Jets at Tottenham stadium in October will have ample ammo of information to be able to impress and entertain those around them.
(or piss them off-that’s up to you).

The film is directed by fantastic documentary film maker Jon Bois.

Here’s the link to part 1.

Jets TV

by

We’re living in the ‘age of content’, so it’s no surprise that NFL teams are looking to fill the void by creating their own unique footage.
Enter the New York Jets.

‘Flight 2021′ is a new, YouTube series dedicated to the start of the New York Jets 2021 season. If you’re looking to follow all things green and white in the NYC, then this Jets TV might be a good thing to check out.

With the Jets London bound to face the Falcons in 2021, UK and European fans might want to keep in touch with all of the latest Jets news, as well as fan announcements for any Jets activities that might be going on during their October trip.

While regular NFL fans might want to sleuth their own teams’ social video content schedule, those who are planning on attending the Falcons vs Jets at Tottenham stadium in October might find value in this series.

These ‘behind the scenes’ types of videos are great for fans for numerous reasons.
Firstly you get to hear team news from the team, it’s not redacted or pumped full of ads, so you get the news straight from the horses mouth.

Secondly, you actually get to see the people involved in the decision making, and you can find them on social media.
For any UK fans looking to make contact with Jets or Falcons team personal, these type of videos give you the name and position of those in the know.
While no one likes a LinkedIn ‘cold call’, using proper NFL channels might get you the info that you need.

Lastly, boredom. One thing we’ve learned from Covid is that good video content is liking a shipping container. Hard to find and difficult to fill.
While we all wait for the NFL to start up again in September, we can all take solace in the fact that there is now more football video content to watch.

Even if it is the Jets.

Brady’s Bored

by

The SuperBowl is almost a month ago, and it shows, because Tom Brady’s bored!
Or at least he must be if he had to give an interview with James Corden on the Late Late Show.

TB12 visited the virtual LLS with JC in the first week of March to give an interview about all of the Super Bowl shenanigans that we saw after their epic Tampa Bay win in February this year.

Corden might be moving weight prior to his move back to the UK, but wearing a purple suit for this interview brought out his inner Grimace.
It’s obvious that Corden knows nothing about the NFL, despite interviewing, karaoking, and driving around with some of the best athletes on the planet.
Luckily, Corden is good at faking it to make it.

Some of the highlights of the video below:

Drunk Brady

Can we all agree that drunk Tom Brady is the best Tom Brady of all?
In a league where alcohol can release the inner demons of some players, a little tequila down Tommy’s throat brings out the mischief-monster.
Would sober Tom have tossed that trophy off a boat? No.
Perhaps the NFL should consider creating a ‘Drunk Game’, where all the players in the game are under the influence?
Drunk Tom Brady would once again be putting on a ring.

Rings?

In the interview, it’s quite obvious that Tom’s 7 rings are nowhere in site.
If anyone of us owned those rings, we would be wearing them all day every day.
Where do you keep them rings Tommy Boy?
At least assemble them in some sort of ‘Newton’s Cradle’ where they can bang against each other in some sort of perpetual motion.
The GIF would be the most popular of all time.

Bill Beli-Bore

Bill Belichick is currently experiencing what it’s like to be in a cuckolding relationship.
Part of him got turned on by Tommy tearing it up in other colours, the other part is ripping himself a new one for being so silly.
While not referenced at all in the interview, you can only imagine Bill, his GF and the dogs watching this one with a bit of slut-shame.
Tommy has never looked so happy, shiny, and fun.
You go girl.

Super Model Sensitivity

Tommy acknowledges that his Gisele said to him after the latest victory ‘what else do you have to prove’?
Clearly she doesn’t know TB12. That just made him want to play more.
When you challenge the GOAT, you get the horns.
By saying that his wife has just unleashed another 20 year run of NFL titles until Brady is in his 60s.
We can rebuild him like the Bionic Man, and he’ll still have less filler in him than most of the Insta influencers.

Buc Dynasty

With the victory in Tampa, comes with it a whole new douchey bunch of fans.
OG Bucs fans from the 80s were the real deal. They embraced a losing seasons in a row, horrible team colours, and a creepy moustached mascot that looks like he went along side an Amber Alert.
Those fans were and still are cool, it’s the new legion of Bucs fans that suck.
You can hear their stifled ‘Baws-tawn’ accent, make out the shadow of their former facial hair shaped like Tony Stark, and hairs stand on end when they go off on a new ‘Die-Nasty’.
If you or one of your friends is one of these idiot-sticks, please consider jumping in freezing water until thoroughly numb.

Here is the full interview for your consideration. Make sure you check out all of our social channels for lots of fun.
