Tom Brady Roast Review

May 7, 2024 by nflinlondon

With the NFL season still months away, fans are Jonesing for anything football related to satiate the feels, so when Netflix released the Roast of Tom Brady on Sunday, fans were thrilled to get a bit of football to soothe those DTs.

So was it any good? Is it worth watching? Does TB12 cry? Let’s break some of it all down in our Tom Brady Roast Review.

Roasts

Anyone with a love of comedy will remember the notorious Friar’s Club Roasts that emerged out of a vaudeville era. As the Roasts grew in the 70s’, so was the appetite for celebrities to be roasted by famous comedians and other celebs to validate their ego in a slosh filled affair.

When comedian Jeffrey Ross pushed to reinvigorate the format in the early 2000s’, we were treated to some of the most outrageous and bawdy comedic lines in history. The Roasts of David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson had the likes of Greg Goraoldo, Lisa Lampanelli, and some of the harshest take downs in history.

Recently however, celebrities have been coy to attend given that any of their past deeds to could be brought up, and flashed in their face. To put it plainly, celebs today are too much of a pussy to take it.

Brady Steps Up

Is was good of Tom Brady to put himself up for this, even if it was probably his management to add a bit of humanity to him before his Fox gig.

Brady was a good sport about the various digs about his failed marriage, leaving a pregnant ex, and deflating balls. It seems that the only thing that really irked Tommy was when Jeff Ross made a masturbatory joke at the expense of Robert Kraft, which caused Tom to get out of his seat and remonstrate Ross with a quick ‘don’t do that shit again.’

Apparently there were boundaries.

The Niki Glaser Show

They might as well have given the whole roast to comedian Niki Glaser, who was most definitely the funniest person on the dais Sunday night. Anyone who says ‘women aren’t funny’ might want to see the master craft set that Niki blasted at Tom in a relentless fashion.

Cool, collected and with impeccable Swiss timing, Glaser was able to set the bar so high, that even Randy Moss seemed high when he followed her. Her shots at Gronk were so savage, it’s doubtful that he even got them.

Niki is one of the ‘old school’ roasters on the panel, and it was easy to see why she was the best, and so hard to follow.

Jew Bledsoe

Aside from the typical American race-bait jokes, it was interesting to see Drew Bledsoe toss a little antisemitism Julian Edleman’s way. Not only did Drew shade Edelman’s heritage, but also threw in a few ‘Jewy’ jokes about him haggling his own contract, and be able to switch from a nickel to a dime with added value.

Bledsoe extolled the virtues of winery and marriage, neither of which seemed to be in attendance that night as he was cast off to the side by himself.

Kim K

It wouldn’t be LA (or Englewood) without having a Kardashian at the Roast, as Kim represented her clan to a shower of boos from the home crowd.

Despite the assistance of numerous writers, Kardashian, like many non-comics struggled to get the belly laughs, and consistent ribbing.

Tom was able to lob a funny ‘Kanye’ fathering joke at Kim, which deflated any reason for her to be there.

Roasts are a good indicator of the ‘natural funny’ of a person, and Kim certainly doesn’t have it.

Where’s the Booze?

For a 3+ hour affair that is usually flushed with booze, most of the panel seemed to hold an empty glass for most of the evening.

Drew Bledsoe was wireless as he talked about being winless, Brady had 2 empty glasses on the go, and Kevin Hart seemed like he was smashed from the start, and got drunker and surlier as the night went on.

Although Bill Belichick was never shown drinking, he bounced around that microphone like he had a few. And when Brady hit him later with the dig about doing the dirty and getting caught on a Ring, well that was just hilarious.

All in all it was a fun roast, but  along roast. Netflix will be hoping to smash more of these sports events down our throats to atone for those years of ‘wokrness’, but it will be interesting to see if anyone will have the stones to be able to take a good bashing.

Good on Tom Brady for taking it.

London NFL Stadium Guide

March 19, 2024 by nflinlondon

The NFL has been coming to London for over 40 years now, and show no signs of slowing down with the league announcing international games at an increasing level every year.
So which London stadiums have played a part in the NFL, and where can you find them? 

Let’s step into the vibrant tapestry of London’s sporting scene, where the echoes of cheering crowds and the excitement of athletic endeavours converge in majestic stadiums. Join us as we embark on a journey through the iconic venues that define London’s sporting legacy, from the hallowed grounds of football to the thrilling spectacles of NFL action.
It’s our London NFL Stadium Guide!

Wembley Stadium: A Monument to Sporting Greatness

Wembley Stadium stands as a towering symbol of sporting excellence, with a capacity surpassing 90,000 spectators. Since its inception in 1923, this legendary venue has witnessed countless historic football matches, including FA Cup finals and international showdowns. Since 2007, Wembley tops the London list-having hosted a whopping 25 NFL games since then, including some truly magical games.
Wembley is quickly becoming the home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, as they continue to make in-roads into the UK and Europe.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: Where Innovation Meets Athleticism

Enter the futuristic realm of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a modern marvel that sets new standards for sporting excellence. Since its inauguration in 2019, this state-of-the-art arena has captivated fans with its innovative design and electrifying atmosphere, having hosted 7 NFL regular season games since opening. With a seating capacity exceeding 62,000 and boasting a stadium to ‘keep people in’, it serves as the battleground for Tottenham Hotspur’s footballing dreams.
Tottenham is the only UK stadium that was purpose built for North American sports, and has set a template for other stadiums in Europe to follow. 

Twickenham Stadium: Rugby’s Regal Domain

Nestled amidst the serene surroundings of Twickenham, this majestic stadium reigns supreme as the Mecca of rugby union. Boasting a capacity exceeding 82,000, Twickenham Stadium has played host to some of the sport’s most memorable moments, from epic Six Nations clashes to Rugby World Cup showdowns. Twickenham was also home to London NFL games from 2016-2017, hosting 3 games in southwest London. Known for having food vendors selling food in front of their houses near the stadium, Twickenham served as a placeholder stadium while the Tottenham stadium was being built. 

Saracens Rugby Ground: A Fusion of Sporting Cultures

While not a traditional stadium, Saracens Rugby Ground holds a unique place in London’s sporting tapestry. As the training grounds for NFL teams before their London fixtures, it serves as a hub where rugby and American football intersect. Amidst the lush green fields of rugby majesty, NFL stars prepare for the rigours of game day, showcasing the city’s diverse sporting offerings. Given the proximity to The Grove Hotel where many NFL teams stay, Saracens Rugby Ground will continue to be the place where teams get ready before their London showcase. 

Emirates Stadium: Arsenal’s Fortress of Football

In the bustling borough of Islington stands Emirates Stadium, the proud home of Arsenal Football Club. With a capacity surpassing 60,000, it’s a cathedral of football that has witnessed countless moments of triumph and glory. While Emirates Stadium has yet to host NFL action, its status as a premier footballing venue underscores its significance in London’s sporting landscape.
It would take some serious renovation work to get Emirates stadium ready for an NFL game, it’s a great venue to check out when you’re in London and want to catch a bit of footie. 

In the dynamic metropolis of London, where sporting passions run deep and the spirit of competition thrives, the grandest stadiums stand as monuments to athleticism and communal fervour. From footballing cathedrals to the thrilling allure of NFL action, these iconic venues offer a glimpse into the heart and soul of London’s vibrant sporting scene. So, whether you’re cheering on your favourite football team or marvelling at the athleticism of NFL stars, prepare to be swept away on a journey of sporting splendour unlike any other.
Next time you come to London, why not check out some of the iconic stadiums?

Super Bowl 58 Picks

February 11, 2024 by nflinlondon

It’s finally the last game of the season, the big one, as we bring you our Super Bowl 58 Picks.

The NFL in London team has been making their lists, checking them twice, and then factoring in Mahomes again to make the predictions for Super Bowl Sunday.

If you want to listen to the whole podcast where Ryan and Wade chat it all out, just click here and you’re on your way to a super fun time.

Super Bowl Sunday

Have you made your plans for Super Bowl Sunday yet? If you’re having a party at home, just make sure to tag us with #nflinlondon so we can see what kind of set up you’re running!
Getting some of the fun out of the way….let’s get into the big game.

-2 San Francisco 49ers vs Kansas City Chiefs  +47.5

It’s a repeat of 4 years ago, when we hadn’t heard of Covid yet, but we had heard of Jackson Mahomes, and that was considered much worse.
As we remember from that game, the 49ers were up with only 7 minutes left to go, when some questionable calls, and Mahomes momentum were able to propel the Chiefs to victory.
So can that happen again?
The 49ers could be considered lucky to have made it this far, despite being the number 1 seed.
With marginal victories over the Packers, and Lions, the Niners have had to ‘dig deep’ to rally back, something that was a bit foreign to them.
Let’s also not forget that beating that they took at the hands of the Ravens at the end of the season that had many questioning their ability to put away good times.
Brock Purdy can get flustered, and this much hyped D has been gashed in the past few games by coaches who were able to find all the little holes.
San Fran are 2 point favourites, which also seems a bit of a surprise given the way that the Chiefs have played since December.
Patrick Mahomes has that special touch, whereas Jackson Mahomes, has that no so special touch.
Watching Patrick Mahomes in the postseason brings memories of Tom Brady, a guy who puts it all together when it matters most, to make those miraculous plays.
So how can the 49ers beat Mahomes when he plays like this?
Seriously.
Not only do we know that PM can rally his team with time to spare, but he can also rely on his solid defence to back them up and keep them in the game.
So why has Vegas given the 49ers the 2 points in a game where all signs are pointing to a Chiefs win?

Ryan Takes Chiefs

Despite the Chiefs taking out his Buffalo Bills once again, Ryan is backing the Chiefs to win their second ring in a row. He thinks that it will be a low-scoring, and plodding game, where the Chiefs D is able to choke out Brock Purdy for the win.

Wade Tomahawk Chops

Mmmm…tomahawk chops…the main thing that Wade thinks will be cooking on Sunday will be the Chiefs D, as Spagnoulo will have lots of tricks up his sleeves for Purdy and CM. He thinks that the Chiefs will get an early lead, the Niners will chip, but it should be another W for Kansas City.
Wade also thinks that Kelce will win the MVP after scoring 2 touchdowns.
Ryan-Chiefs 24-49ers 21
Wade-Chiefs 23-49ers 20
That’s it for our Super Bowl 58 picks, hope that you all have a fantastic Super Bowl Sunday!
Be dafe, and have fun!

Week 14 Picks

December 9, 2023 by nflinlondon

The boys are saddled with nasty colds, so it must be that time of year again for our Week 14 Picks podcast.

Only two teams on bye this week, as the playoff implications start to look far more interesting. Teams we thought in the AFC that would contend, are faltering, and the NFC is looking like it’s going to be a slugfest against the Niners for any hope of the Lombardi trophy.

If you want to take out your sniffles, and suck the phlegm for your system, have a listen this podcast with a little toddy for your ears.

NFLinLondon · Week 14 Picks-Ep 284

Week 14 Picks

A nice surprise for the AFC North, as the Steelers took a choke out from the Patriots on TNF to add another layer to that divisional contest.
What other kind of nifty surprises might we find in this weeks games?
Let’s have a little look shall we, as the boys both offer their predictions for a select slate of games.

Jaguars (8-4) vs -3 Browns (7-5)  +30.5

Jacksonville took a bite out of themselves in Week 13 with a performance that really knocked their chances of that number one seed potential. Although they are saying that Lawrence might have only suffered a high ankle sprain, what about the rest of the guys that got hurt. That has to hurt.
Joe Flacco! That’s right, old Joe has saddled up once again to fire some ints for Cleveland as they look to mend the suck that is currently affecting them.
With horrible weather, and a home crowd in their favour, can the much vaunted Browns D make them Jags pay here?
Ryan is going full Flacco, which is still a thing, as he thinks the Browns will out hustle the cats at home.
Wade also agrees that the Browns are the ones to take here, as the Jags will suffer to get anything going against that front line, and cold front of nasty weather.
Ryan-Browns 20 Jaguars 13
Wade-Browns 21 Jaguars 9

-3.5 Lions (9-3) vs Bears (4-8)  +43

It’s another rematch of the AFC North, as this time the Bears host in a contest that happened only a few weeks ago, with different circumstances.
The Lions were able to come back against a tough Chicago squad in the remaining two minutes of the game to get the fortunate win.
Will the Lions be so fortunate this time?
It’s not going to be a winning season in Chicago, but that was expected, as was the Fields conundrum. What he does in the next few weeks will determine where he plays next season.
If JF can light it up win a W against Detroit, he might just be the topic of a starter again in 2024.
Wade of course if taking his Bears for the upset win, with a wet, sloppy home slashing against Detroit.
Ryan agrees, and thinks that the Bears will be able to get vengeance in this week for the upset.
Ryan-Bears 24 Lions 21
Wade-Bears 18 Lions 16

Other games

Here are some of the other games that the guys have personally selected as ones that you might want to look at for some of you fun sunday parlays.
