Dallas Cowboys

Week 5 Preview

by

Welcome to London NFL fans!
Are you ready for some football?
As Tottenham prepares for a Beardown on the Raiders, the city is buzzing with tourists and excitement.

Wade & Ryan preview the big game, with Bears fan Wade having a bit of a bias in this one.

They also look at some of the other big games on Sunday and preview some of their tips & scores.

Including:

Cardinals (0-3-1) @ Bengals (0-4)
What a crap game this is going to be. Even Redzone will struggle to show highlights.
Plan on a low score with lots of sacks. It’s like a Charlie Brown special.
Wade is going with the Bengals 21-20, and Ryan has the Cardinals winning their first game 20-14.

Jets (0-3) @ Eagles (2-2)
Fresh of a spanking of the Packers, the Eagles look to move past the Darnold-less Jets.
Will Luke Falk Falk it up? All signs point to yes.
Wade & Ryan both have the Eagles in this one 24-7 & 24-23.

Listen for more top tips from our guys!

See you Sunday!

NFL W4 Mic’d Up

by

NFL Films is an amazing resource for NFL material.
Which is why we like to share their footage.

The mic’d up loads of players, & put together an awesome film of some of the best moments from the week that was.
Obviously, the Tampa Bay vs LA Rams game was a fruit basket of material.
The amount of TDs in that game was astounding. A whopping 95pts of game points in that match.

How did your team do in Week 4 of the NFL?
Did you win your fantasy?
Send us your picks and bets & we will share them with the world.

Our man Ryan Cull is still smarting from his 4-11 week, while Wade is on a high going 11-4 for another belting week of picks.

Our betting partners will have their links up soon for you to share & pick with.

See you Sunday!

270lb RB

by

Nothing to see here, just a kid in high school who is a 270lb running back!
Holy heck!
Watch this kid move.

Antwain Littleton aka ‘Baby Bus’ is a kid who plays in Washington Dc for Max Preps St. John’s and is quite the dominant force for the team.
Littleton leads the charge for the #5 ranked St. John’s, and judging by the highlight reel for this kid, he won’t have a problem making it to the NCAA.

AT 6’1″ and 270lbs, this kid only has room to grow.
(pun intended)
How far could this kid go?

Watch this space.
Good luck in the playoffs ‘Baby Bus.’

Bears v Raiders

by

Are you ready for the NFL London?
It’s week 5 in the NFL, which means that the Oakland Raiders have landed in rainy London, while the Chicago Bears land on Friday.
Are you going to the game?
Big plans for a great weekend in London?

Why not join us for some NFL fun while you’re in town?

We will be throwing a few parties this weekend-and you’re invited!

We will be working with the Princess Alexandra pub in Crouch End to host some of the games until the wee hours.
Located 10 minutes from Finsbury Park station, this ‘celebrity’ pub has loads of space and TVs so that you can catch all the action.
It’s also a direct bus ride on the W3 bus to Tottenham stadium.
You can catch the W3 or W7 bus from Finsbury Park to the pub-then grab the W3 bus to the stadium in 25 minutes.

The pub has a late license, so that you can party until 4am.
Buses won’t run at that point-so Ubers and taxis will be on hand.

You MUST have tickets for the after party-as we don’t want a huge queue in front of the venue.
Get your tickets here.

See you Sunday.

London-Sports Bars

by

So you’re coming to London and you want to watch sports like you do in the US?
Is there anything like it here?
No.
Sadly, you are out of luck.
But we do have advice to help you out.

The UK and London particularly are woefully underserved when it comes to sports bars.
While some of the UK chains have made some efforts to modernise, they are still a few dreadful decades away.
Bad food, violent fans, drugged out patrons, and horrible service are just some of the things you can look forward to.
(which is why most people watch at home!)

So if you do want to catch a night of sports-where should you head?

We have a few tips to help you out in your excursions.

NCAA Football
Looking to watch NCAA football when you are over from the states?
Good luck!
Very few places will actually show the games, and due to time zones-most of the big games don’t air in the UK til the wee hours.
One of the problems with NCAA football is that it takes place on a Saturday-a traditional ‘football’ day for Brits, that continues on til at least 7pm.
After that the bar becomes a ‘bar’, with the music pumping up to 11, and punters drunkenly enjoying their weekend.
Trying to get them to switch on a college game with sound would be like asking a Brit ‘where in France are you from?’
The other problem with college football is that it’s only played on 1 TV network over here-BT Sport ESPN.
That means you can only watch 1 game at a time. Sometimes this game was played a few hours ago.
There was an ESPN Player app-but it crashed more times than Robert Downey Jr. in the 90s’.
Belushi’s Londonbridge is perhaps the only London location that shows college sports.
But again, it will be packed, will only show one game, and it will close before the game ends.

Wings & Food
First thing you will notice when you try chicken wings in the UK is how tiny they are.
Like seriously tiny.
You’ll then notice that British people like to mess around with a whole whack of flavours that are downright gross.
Peri-Peri? Mango Cream? Geez-louise, pass the Frank’s Red Hot sauce.
Burgers are also cooked in a mandatory fashion-which means over-cooked, over-sauced and on a flaky bun.
We have yet to find a good burger in London after 15 years, but hopefully one day!
McDonald’s is consistent and has free wifi.

If you are looking to watch some sports-here are a few places we would recommend for this weekend.

Princess Alexandra
Located in leafy Crouch End, this pub is close to Tottenham Stadium and is open late.
While not on a direct tube line-it is a celebrity haunt, so you never know who you might find.

MeatHouse
Right near Kings Cross Station, this place has meat, meat and more meat. They have a few tvs for the games, and a great feast of a menu.

Sports Bar & Grill-Farringdon
This sports bar chain is under new owners, so they are starting to change them around. While it is a chain, we like this one because of their manager Martin. Classy, funny guy, who makes the trip worthwhile.
