The London NFL games for the 2021 season are done and dusted, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have loads more NFL action on every week at locations across London and the UK.
While the London games for this season may be no more, there are still plenty of American football events across the UK, and much more in our Oct News.
Brady Balls
Congrats to TB12 for tossing his 600th career TD pass in a slow out against the Bears.
Brady shows no signs of ageing, as he continues to dominate every week, while looking ageless doing so.
There were estimates that the 600th TD ball could be worth up to $750,000 USD, but it’s doubtful that the ball would have been able to reach that stage of auction.
What would you have done if Tommy Boy had given you the ball?
Here’s what Pat McAfee has to say about it.
Lion-ated
The Detroit Lions hold the distinct record of being the worst team in the NFL thus far this season.
While the Arizona Cardinals are flying high, undefeated heading into Week 8, the Lions are so anemic, you would expect to see them in a Syrian zoo.
Dan Patrick is highly caffeinated, high strung, and high on emotion, as that damn Jared Goff keeps letting him down.
The Lions have a chance to go winless this season, which is something even the Jets have avoided.
Flacc Off
What do you know Joe Flacco? Did you know that your ass was going to get traded from the Eagles to the Jets?
Off Broadway Joe Flacco will now have the unenviable task of leading the Jets out of the tunnel each week to defeat.
Flacco at least has a Super Bowl ring, which many of his Jets teammates will like to touch, as there is no chance that they will ever handle one.
Nagy Problem
Bears coach Matt Nagy has COVID, but that’s probably the least of his concerns.
With Andy Dalton getting sidelined early due to injury, all eyes have been on Justin Fields, and his rookie sensation ability to get it done.
Sadly, rookies can’t get it done, and having no O-line is starting to catch up to the Bears.
Fields was horrible against a Bucs D that beat the crap out of the Bears on Sunday, making Man U’s 5-0 beating from Liverpool look like an appetiser.
Nagy and Pace will be fired if the Bears can’t string together 9 wins this season. The might even be fired before that.
Urban Decay
Urban Meyer still has a job after slutting out a win against the Dolphins in London during week 6.
There are rumours that more Meyer footage exists of the Jags coach grinding up against collegiate girls who most certainly have ‘gone wild.’
If Urban Meyer were a coach in anywhere but Florida, his ass would be fired by now, but here he is.
Odds are Meyer will be gone by the end of the season.
Packers vs Cardinals
Thursday Night Football is giving us the best game for week 8, as the undefeated Arizona Cardinals host the Green Bay Packers.
Davante Adams looks like he will be ruled out for this one due to COVID, meaning that Rodgers will have no one to throw to in this contest.
Early betting lines have Arizona favoured by 6.5, which could easily jump to 10 if Adams is ruled out.
Green Bay got lucky against the WFT in Week 7, as their D stopped 3 solid red zone chances by Washington, which was rare for the Packers D.
This will be the game where we finally see the division line between the good and great teams in the NFC.
American Underdog
If you haven’t had enough of an NFL fix, then maybe you can tap into more by watching ‘American Underdog’, the Kurt Warner story.
It’s a heavy compliment for Warner to get played by the Shazam guy, in this biopic of the pluckiest QB to ever play for the Rams.
Zachary Levi plays Warner in this true life story of how Kurt Warner went from bagging groceries in his 30s’, to bagging touchdowns in the Super Bowl.
The movie already looks miles ahead of the horrendous trailer for Marvels ‘Eternals’, and it’s doubtful if any of them could lead their team to victory over the Titans in a Super Bowl.
Here’s the trailer for American Underdog.
Make sure you join us every Sunday at either the Sports Bar and Grill Old Street, or south of the Thames in Clapham.
