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.

Sesquicentennial

by

Seska what now?
Well, it’s our 150th episode of the podcast, so we thought we would celebrate with our Sesquicentennial celebration.

We’ve been talking NFL BS in London for the past decade, and we’re happy that we have been able to share it with such a great audience as yourselves.

In this episode the guys go off on a bunch of topics.

The Old Sports Bar

Were you one of the first people to join us when we threw NFL parties at the Sports Bar & Grill Marylebone?
It’s been a long time since those days in the musty basement, although we were the ONLY place in London showing NFL games.
We had comedy, Madden tournaments, and some of the craziest fans you’ve ever met.
We’re back with the new and improved Sports Bar & Grill this season, hope you come down and join us.

Tebow

Timmy time is over in Jacksonville, and even God couldn’t save him.
Despite selling mountains of jerseys, his tight end days are over in Florida, so Timmy will have to move on to a new sports at which to be mediocre in.

Hard Knocks

The Cowboys are back and Zak looks brittle.
Every episode is about not hurting Dak, so you wonder what this season is actually going to be like?
Zeke is looking punchy as opposed to paunchy, so let’s see if he can save himself from injuries this year.

London Games

Carolina has announced that fans will be required to wear masks at ALL games, it’s only a matter of time before teams consider the fan options as the impending booster shots of fall loom.
As far as we know, fans will have to provide proof of vax before entering the stadium, but of course everything can change.

We’re back with our season previews and fantasy episodes soon.
We’re also working with DraftKings this season to offer you exciting DFS tournaments all year long.

Here’s the podcast! Enjoy and share!

London Venues

by

The 2021 NFL season is so close you can almost smell it, and we’re excited to announce some new London Venues that we are partnering with.

NFL in London is going ‘OG’, as we return to our roots with some wicked NFL parties at the Sports Bar & Grill-Old Street and Clapham.
We are thoroughly looking forward to working with their team again, and offering all the UK fans a great place to watch NFL throughout the season.

COVID has certainly changed the sports viewing landscape in the past few years, and we were pretty nervous as to how late night, live sports viewing would return.

We wanted to make sure that NFL fans in London could have:
-a dedicated venue to showing the NFL games.
-zones where NFL fans could sit outside of football
-open late enough to show the 9pm Sunday games in their entirety
-good sports food
-located to major transit hubs
-a destination for London game after parties.

TVs

There are over 25 TVs in Old Street, and 15 in Clapham-enough to watch all of the NFL games.
The Old Street location also has 8 tables with their OWN TV, so that you and your mates can have the game right at your table.
The bar will also have different viewing zones, so that you can watch the game that you want.

History

Our history with the Sports Bar and Grill goes back to 2008 in the olde Marylebone location, and was the original London venue.
Those who visited us ‘back in the day’ were treated to comedy shows, Madden tournaments, and celebrity appearances.
We are working with some new partners to bring all of that stuff back again!
Just watch this space, and we will let you know the latest news.

Locations

We are proud to be working with the team(s) at the Old Street and Clapham locations, who will be pivoting both branches towards Sunday Funday’s of NFL.
Both bars will be showing loads of NFL games, Redzone, as well as offering burger, wing and beer deals for you hungry fans.
Old Street will be open EVERY SUNDAY for NFL, with a ‘last call’ at midnight, so that you can enjoy the end of the 9pm games (and not get rudely rushed out).
Clapham will not be open late EVERY Sunday, but we will be working with them to create special events, and viewing parties for fan takeovers.
Want to book the joint to watch your team dominate?
Get in touch!

Reservations

If you want to come down one Sunday, or have a particular Sunday in mind, you’re going to need a reservation at one of our London venues.
These help us let the bar know how many people are coming, as well as plan seating, staffing, and in general makes the whole process flow better-so please contact us if you want a table.
Initial bookings should be targeted to us, and we will work with the bar to get you in front of the TVs you are looking for.
You will need to provide the SB&G with a credit card to hold the table, which is standard and fair.

London Games

Yes! We will be going hard for the London games.
Both matches start at 2:30pm GMT (9:30am EST), so we will be offering before and after options for you and your crew.
The Old Street location will be open LATE for both games, so make sure that you get in touch with us so that we can guarantee you a table for all the action.
We will have more information for you over the next few weeks.

We are very excited to be working with the team at the Sports Bar & Grill once again, and look forward to welcoming you to our parties at both Old Street and Clapham.
More exciting news to be announced over the coming weeks, watch our spaces.

 

July Memes

by

The end of July is almost upon us, which means August is almost here!
NFL fans all know that August is that magical month that kicks off training camp, bringing with it the impending NFL season, and the joys of fans everywhere.

To celebrate the kickoff of the 2021 season, we present you some July Memes, a selection of funny photos that have kept us entertained during this wet, miserable summer.

Whether it’s memes around the incorrect pronunciation of ‘Kelce’, rumours of Rodgers riding out to pasture, or just Covidiots in general, the memes reward us all.

All Filler

by

Training camp is almost here to kick off the 2021 NFL season, but until then, we are grasping at NFL news.
Which is why we call this podcast ALL FILLER, as it is mostly a collection of offseason antics and hilarious stories.

Join Wade McElwain & Ryan Cull, as they deliver a heat induced episode of NFL news, predictions, and general jackassery.
Ryan is off of a 2 week vacation to the ‘islands’, and he can barely contain his enthusiasm.

Among some of the nuggets of NFL that the boys talk about in this episode includes:

Sherman Tanked

Poor Richard Sherman. He got wasted in SoCal and all he got to show for it was an embarrassing video of him losing to a door.
A very wasted Sherman is seen trying to bust back into his gated community house while his distraught (and calm) wife describes the harrowing encounter.
Most people who listed to this call point to the very ‘nasty’ 911 operator on the receiver, who definitely made the call worse.
Sherman is going to need to dry out, rethink, and figure out if he’s better off on the field…or maybe the booth.

Tooth Haskins

Poor Dwayne Haskins.
First he gets cut by the Washington football team for erratic play and behaviours, then his love life came back to punch him in the face.
It’s not easy being a young man trying to make it in the NFL.
There is lot of pressure not only to succeed, but also from the Instagram set looking to to cash in on your young fame.
Hopefully this guy gets help before he gets piled on.

Ping You

While we are under Operation Pingdom here in the UK, in the US teams are still struggling to get their players vaccinated.
There are 4 teams whose vax rate is currently below 50% for whatever reason they choose to submit.
Those teams?
Washington, Indianapolis, Arizona, and the LA Chargers.
It’s going to be a long training camp until the players get the jab.

Hold the Chi

You’re a horrible person if you have been pronouncing Travis Kelce’s name wrong this whole time.
Yes, after years in the NFL, it turns out we have been pronouncing his name all wrong.
It’s Kell-se, not Kell-chee.
Boy are we embarrassed!

Younghoe Jeep

Welcome to the ATL Koe! Falcons kicker Younghoe Koe got a slap in the south when his Jeep was stolen from the city last week.
This is probably why they never let Atlanta have nice things.
In true Georgia fashion, Koe claimed he only ‘wanted his cleats’ back.
Who steals a man’s dirty cleats anyway?

TB10.5

It turns out that TB12 played ALL last season with an MCL problem.
Ha ha, wow!
If this is true, it’s quite admirable for a man of his age to play through the pain.
If it is also true….then Tampa Bay cheated their way to the Super Bowl.
Teams have to disclose injuries, and Tom Brady not disclosing his is a MAJOR league violation.
Will the league investigate this, or will they just consider it Brady Banter?
Depends on how true it is really.

Rodgers Out

The final question that remains, is whether to not Aaron Rodgers will suit up for training camp on July 27th.
Aaron made it clear at the end of the 2020 season he would not be retuning to the Packers, but many fans haven’t given up hope.
Ryan is convinced that Aaron Rodgers will be back, and everything else is silly talk.
Wade thinks that Rodgers will call their bluff, go into semi-retirement as a broadcaster until injury forces a team to offer him the moon.
We shall see.

Here is the latest podcast.
Listen, laugh, love, Karen, enjoy.
