Podcast-Week 4 Review

by

In our week 4 review, Wade McElwain & Ryan Cull look back at the first 1/4 of the NFL 2019 season.
How did it happen so fast?
Where did it go?
Where are we at?
Is Brexit real?

So many questions, so little time.
Well, the boys do rattle on for 40 minutes, but’s it’s class NFL chat.

The talk all the teams that are 3-1, then look back at their picks from week 4.
Wade went 11-4, while Ryan went 4-11.
Ryan highly doubts these figures, but the past podcast & notes prove that he is dead wrong.
Wade did heave a nice 11-4, although he forgot to submit his Thursday pick in his pool so he went 10-4 in his Yahoo-& lost the $100 win.

The boys also clamour on about the Bears vs Raiders game at Tottenham, as well as some advice on how to make the most of your game experience.

The boys finish the cast with a prediction on the Thursday night match between the Seahawks & the Rams.
Wade sees Seattle crushing the hapless Rams, while Ryan predicts a visitor beating on the Seahawks.

Bears/Raiders After Party

by

How are you watching the Bears vs Raiders game in London?
Looking for a place that’s cool, close to the stadium and open late?
Great!
Come on down to the Princess Alex in Crouch End, London for our after party.

The Alex is a traditional English pub in the village of Crouch End, less than 10 minutes away from Finsbury Park station.
It has a great selection of Sunday roasts, cask ales, and loads of chicken wings.

Here is some more info to help you for Sunday.

Getting There
The Princess Alexandra is in Crouch End, north London.
The quickest route is via the Piccadilly or Victoria Line to Finsbury Park.
From there grab the W7 bus to the pub. It is the first stop after the Crouch End Broadway.
Once you exit the bus, the pub is on your right side.
You can also grab the W3 bus to Park Road.
The W3 bus is the one that will take you to the stadium.
It is also accessible via Alexandra Palace train station, and Hornsey train station.

To and from the stadium
It takes about 25 minutes to get to the stadium from the pub. We will have signs up on how to get there. But it’s very easy.
Walk out the pub down Park road (400m) and on the left hand side is Park Road bus stop to the stadium. Just hop on, and you’re at the stadium.
Upon leaving the stadium-same thing.
Grab the W3 bus from outside the stadium to Crouch End. Get off at Park Road and walk up the road to the pub. Buses stop running around midnight.

Going late
The Alex has a late license until 4am-so you can party until the wee hours.
It will help to have Uber or an app on your phone, as ALL of London transport shuts down at night.
There is a 91 late night bus that goes to central London every 15 minutes.

Tickets
If you are coming to the after party, you will need tickets.
They are £5 and includes a welcome beer (1 each) upon arrival.
You MUST have a ticket after 9pm to get in.

London-Travel

by

If you’ve never been to London before, it can seem a bit daunting to get around.
When you come from North America, the first thing you notice is that the cars drive on the other side-and crossing the street involves second guessing your inherent nature.

Londoners move across the city like cockroaches on a buttered floor, get in their way, or God forbid-stand on the left side of the escalator, and you will get a simmering look of disdain like no other.

We have a few tips to help you get around.

Apps
Unless you’re Amish-you probably have a smart phone or someone in your group does.
This is good.
You should download a London Tube Map, Citymapper, and if you have Uber in your local city-use that as well. (it works over here).
Citymapper will help you plan how long it takes to get to places and back. You can add in your destination/ hotel etc as a homebase to make getting around easier.
The Tube map is necessary for getting around this crazy city.
As you can see from the image above-sometimes it’s easier to walk, especially if you’re in Central London.

Tottenham/ White Hart Lane
If you’re heading to one of the NFL games at Tottenham Stadium (aka White Hart Lane) you will be heading to North-East London.
While this might have been a butt-ache several years ago, recent new travel lines and station have made this easier to get to.
White Hart Lane station is on the Overground (orange lines on map) north of Liverpool street station.
Luckily there are also loads of London trains that also head north in that direction.
You can pretty much reach the stadium from Finsbury Park, Liverpool Street, and anywhere on the Victoria Line.
Just note that on Sundays the tube runs like an old dog, so you might have delays, closures and early closings.
The tube usually stops running at midnight, so have your Uber ready in case you need to go somewhere.

Enjoy London and have a safe trip.

Week 4 Preview

by

Week 4 is here already, where did the NFL season go?
Wade and Ryan take a look at all of the NFL games in week 4, prior to the Bears vs Raiders heading to London next weekend.

They look at the huge match-up between the Bills and Patriots, chat about the fall of the Green Bay Packers and look ahead to the Bears vs Vikings on Sunday night.

Some of the other matches that they look at include:

Panthers (1-2) vs Texans (2-1) (-4) +47.5
Hats off to Cam Newton, he won’t be playing in this game-he will be hat shopping. Wade & Ryan both think that the home based Texans are poised for victory in this match. Kyle Allen will be welcomed to the NFL in official style.

Redskins (0-3) vs Giants (1-2) (-3) +49.5
Oh poor Washington! When will Dwayne Haskins replace the sad sack Case Keenum before the spiral turns to burn. Ryan thinks that the Giants will rule the roost with Daniel Jones channeling the devil for a win. Wade has the Redskins taking the first ‘W’ of the season.

Chiefs (3-0) (-6.5) vs Lions (2-0-1) +55
Are you ready for a high scoring game? Then get ready for the Chiefs vs Lions in a bust up of fantasy and regular points. Can anyone stop Patrick Mahomes? Doubtful. But Matt Stafford should clock up some big points in the chase.

Join us this Sunday at Belushi’s Hammersmith so that you can watch all the games with loads of new mates.
See you Sunday!
