2020 London NFL

Sports Bed

by

Sports bars look to be done & dusted for the foreseeable future, so it looks like the home is where the game is.

Even if games do resume, there have been numerous discussions around how these will be played for safety of players & fans alike. Spaced seating, higher prices, limited food & no alcohol all loom in the future. We all know how disgusting stadium washrooms are & they are a hotbed if viruses to begin with.

Can you really enjoy the NFL on Zoom with your mates? You’re going to have to. Sports bars will be staggered as the season starts, & fans will be hard pressed to want to go out to watch Sunday games. It was a hard enough sell for many bars to show NFL games before, that slope just got steeper.

Here’s the ideal situation for NFL viewing in the age of Corona. A bigass bed with seats, buckets, & room galore. This is the new NFL.

2020 NFL Schedule

by

The NFL season is ready to go? It seems so according to the NFL who have bravely pushed through with a regular season schedule released this week full of exciting contests. Corona virus is going to have the final day in how all this is going to play out, but at least they have tried.

International games are scuppered, & there’s doubt that fans will be able to attend the first half of the season. Alcohol also looks to be banned as frequent urination embraces the virus quite easily. Who wants to go to a game with no beer anyway.

Key Games

Week 1-Bucs vs Saints

Brady vs Brees in an epic NFC South showdown. This game will be Corona spotlight as we blow into this new dilemma season. These guys are chasing records, so this will be a blast off to the most interesting NFL adventure in history.

Week 3-Chiefs vs Ravens

It’s a massive AFC battle as the two most magical QBs in the league shoot it out to see who take as an early season loss. One of these teams will not have a perfect season & that’s what makes it a great game.

Week 4-Patriots vs Chiefs

The Chiefs will have just played the Ravens the week before so this will be a slug fest for both teams. Mahomes will look to solidify his dominance over the league with a demonstrative hometown performance.

Week 6-Bucs vs Packers

Brady vs Rodgers (?) if they’re both healthy in this new league, but this will be a new NFL dynamic. Who will really GOAT out in this contest, & how will this affect the NFC? Week 6 is always a breakpoint in a team’s retrospect as they gauge their 5 game record, & look to where they can be by week 10. This game will have huge implications.

We will be looking at safe distancing NFL parties for 2020, but let’s think of ways we can watch this season together.

Listen to our podcast for all the great game predictions.

NFL-PGA Sunday

by

Holy crap! Live sports is back, & we can watch it live in the UK! Take a breath, what I’m about to tell you is awesome. Tom Brady & Tiger Woods vs Peyton Manning & Phil Mickelson in an 18 hole, 3 hour fiesta of golf & banter.

The Game

Even if you’re not a golf fan this game features two NFL legends who will be talking & competing for 3 hours of live golf fun.

Tee off is scheduled for 8pm GMT & should continue until 11pm. Sky sports will most likely air this, & other streaming apps will also air it. Alas Gamepass doesn’t have the rights.

The first 9 holes are a best 4 ball play, so our NFL stars will most likely be watching & contributing.

The next 9 holes will be a mixed bag of crazy golf type holes where they compete in challenges for charity.

The Teams

Golf legend Tiger Woods is teamed with NFL poster boy Tom Brady in a champion level team that makes you swoon just by saying their names together.

Their opponents are lefty legend Phil Mickelson with horse faced goof Peyton Manning, who both boast accuracy in their respective statistics.

Pey-Mann are favoured over TB Tiger 12 in this contest, as Brady is the most inferior golfer in this match. Vegas has this as an easy win.

All Time QBs

by

Who is the best all time passing yards leader of all time? Well, it’s still on-so let’s take a look at the top leaders in NFL passing yards.

Brees vs Brady, as the 2020 season brings us two veterans who are poised for Hall of Famedom. Brees has the definite advantage in this contest & it’s hard to see Tommy beating him. Tommy is a fighter though, so it might be his last chalice of victory to achieve before he retires.

Brees

Brees is younger, faster, & has more to prove, continuing to blast huge yardage up every season. Sure he rips up domes, but he also knocks out the turf as well.

Brady

Brady is durable. It might be his last season in the NFL but his move to the Bucs seems to be the perfect fit. He has speedy legs, Gronk, & a punishing D. Could he rip a huge passing season or more with this corp?

It will be interesting in week 1 when these guys duke it out for QB supremacy. What a game that will be. There will be no fans, beer, or atmosphere…so this will be fun & new.

The Others

There aren’t many big legacy guys nipping at these titles. Mahomes is young, Wilson is inconsistent, & Rodgers doesn’t have the potential. These numbers could last for decades given the current climate of the NFL.

For now, at least we can play them in Madden.

NFL Wins

by

The Chicago Bears are the best team in football if you go by wins. Granted they started as one of the original teams, so they should be.

The Packers are nipping at their heels, hot off some stellar 90s wins by Farve & Rodgers. The way they’ve been playing in the previous decades points to another series of wins with the potential of Love.

And of course the Giants are the 3rd most among winners, when they absolutely devastated throughout the 60s, 70s & 80s. Those who remember that era will attest that the they were like the Pats of that time but for way longer.

Where are them Cowboys? Well, they didn’t play as long as these other teams who have 30 years on their franchise.

The Patriots of course have been our champion of late, cruising for the past 15 years, but are their best years behind them? Will Stid-Meister be their new QB of the future and give them more wins? Time will tell, but probably no.
