Week 17 Memery

by

Just when you think that an NFL week is the craziest it has ever been, it smacks you on the dick-tip with another juicy weekend of drama.

Hold our beer Antonio Brown! Hey! Where you going?

In our Week 17 Memery, we reflect back on some of the funniest and most interesting stories, all told through the art of memes.

NFL Meme artists are the Picasso’s of our sporting time, able to encapsulate the sheer frustration and energy of audiences in a timely and home filled fashion.

Here are just some of the best from Week 17 in the NFL.

NFL Playoffs in London

The NFL Playoffs are fast approaching, and we are working to find the best places to watch the games.

The Sports Bar & Grill Old Street and Clapham are the best places to watch the games, but they need you to book a table if you’re coming.

COVID has kicked many bars in the teeth, and all the changing rules means staffing has been an issue for everyone.
By booking ahead you allow the bar to not only determine how much staff they need, but also plan for rushes and slow periods to maintain quality service.

Book here for Old Street & Clapham and help out the bar staff that have been here for you when you’re wasted.

Deck the League

by

And just like that…COVID is back in the NFL!
Did you miss it?

Still more entertaining than a Sex & the City revival, COVID is the Carrie Bradshaw of the NFL, shredding the careers of fully grown men.

So what does this mean for Week 15 in the NFL?
We will break it all down for you in our Deck the League podcast.

Wade & Ryan are back and virus free, as they offer you a Christmas Party of a podcast.
Don’t worry about missing out on the pub, just crank this up to 11 and see what knowledge drip feeds into your lineups.

COVID Games

Thus far, 3 of the NFL games for Week 13 have been moved due to COVID, but more could come.

Sean Payton is already out for the big game against the Bucs after testing positive, too bad the trailer for his new Netflix movie had no tests of positivity.

We will let you know anything that we hear about the games, and when they might be played.

Among some of the games the guys look at in the episode include:

Patriots (9-4) vs -2 Colts (7-6) +45.5

The Patriots are one of the few teams not to get sidelined by the virus this weekend, as we all know that Bill Belichick plans for the biggest threat against them.
See ya virus.

The Colts are favoured by 2 points, despite having a worse record than New England? What does Las Vegas know that we don’t?

Ryan and Wade both like the Pats to keep moving on here, as they seem to dink and dunk enough to get the job done.

Ryan thinks that the game will be a low scoring one, and Wade thinks it will be a back and forth, tight chess match that could get boring for a late night UK fan.

Ryan-Pats 21 Colts 17
Wade-Pats 27 Colts 24

Panthers (5-8) vs -10.5 Bills (7-6)

Oh how the mighty have fallen, a statement that echoes for both of these teams.

Carolina started strong on the back of Christian Mc, and a solid defence.
Now the Panthers are struggling to stay in games, and Cam Newton is atrocious.

Buffalo has gone from number one on the division, to hoping to make a shot at the playoffs.
They need to win this one to stay in it!

Ryan likes his Bills to blow out the lowly Panthers, and get back to their winning ways at home.

Wade struggles to see the Bills covering such a large spread given injuries, COVID and western New York weather.

Ryan-Bills 35 Panthers 13
Wade-Bills 24 Panthers 14

Seahawks (5-8) vs -5 LA Rams (9-4) +45.5

Russ is cooking once again on the back of a rejuvenated running game, and Tyler Lockett getting his groove back.
The Seahawks are in a deep playoff hole, and the chances of them making a post season run fall deeper every week.

LA Rams finally got a win, batting down the pesky Cardinals in a game that saw them still stay in contention for a solid playoff chance. They also got COVID. A lot of it.

Ryan thinks that Seattle will continue their winning ways, sticking it to Matt Stafford and his bad back of infected team mates.

Wade thinks that even an LA Rams team covered in COVID is still better than a healthy Seattle team.

Ryan-Seahawks 30 Rams 24
Wade-Rams 26 Seahawks 23

Sports Bar Sunday

Join us at the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street and Clapham this Sunday to catch all the NFL games.

Tips Ahoy-Week 14

by

It’s Week 14 in the NFL, which means that some of you are now totally out of your fantasy season.
Does it burn?

Now that pesky fantasy is out of the way, you can focus on some of the more important NFL things, like making some money off of it in time for Christmas.

Wade and Ryan have made their top picks for Sunday, in their Tips Ahoy-Week 14.

Ryans Tips

Ryan has been nervous for all of week 14 given that his Bills are playing the Bucs in south Florida on Sunday evening.
Will a total lack of a running game spell the end for the Bills?

Ryan’s first tip is for those Lions (+10) to keep on roaring. Fresh off a win last week, Detroit is getting itself high in Denver on Sunday.
He likes Goff and the steady play of the Lions to wreck some havoc on Teddy B and that injured Broncos team.
Lions to cover.

‘Dem Boys (-4.5) are confident that on Sunday they will prevail over the Washington FT. So confident, they guaranteed a win over Ron Rivera and the WFT.
Ryan still thinks that Dallas can’t fail in this one, and should easily cover the small spread en route to victory.

Matt Stafford and the LA Rams (+3) have a problem, they can’ win convincingly anymore.
Ryan thinks that this will end on Monday night, as the Rams will hold off the tenacious Cardinals for a big win.
He likes the Rams in a comfy win.

Who Dat at QB? No really? Who is it? It’s Taysom Hill! And he’s going to lead the Saints (-5.5) to a big win over the lowly Jets on Sunday.
New York is missing most of their receivers, so Ryan thinks that the Saints and their D should easily crush whoever suits up on the Big Apple.

If you take all of Ryan’s picks of the Lions, Cowboys, LA Rams & Saints, a £10 wager will pay out a lovely £151.20.

Wade’s Picks

Did you make some money off of Wade’s picks on Sunday? He did, with some nifty parlays that paid out on losers.

Speaking of losers, lets’ take a look at some of Wade’s hot tips for Sunday.

Urban Meyer is about to find himself isolated, as reports of bullying, calling coaches ‘losers’, and groping are just the tip of the problem in Meyer’s pants.
Luckily the Jaguars (+8.5) are facing a woeful Tennessee squad that is still hobbled by injury.
The Jaguars may not win this divisional game, but they should keep it close.

Close is how the game between the Falcons (+2.5) vs the Panthers will be on Sunday, as Matt Ryan is hoping for a win against SuperCam.
Both of these teams have been beaten by the injury bug, but Matty Ice still has his burn from TB12 etched into recent memory.
Cam is bad, Matt is better, and ATL should be it close.

Houston has more than a problem, it has an epidemic.
The franchise continues to slide, as another top coached was fired this week for no reason.
The Texans (+8.5) host Chef Russell Wilson on Sunday, and will most definitely lose, but by how much?
The Seahawks will struggle to bridge the 8.5 point gap, allowing the Texans to not get totally blown out.

The Giant neck of Mike Glennon is back, as New York (+10) heads to LA for a Sunday night game under the coastal sun.
The Chargers will be looking for blood, but let’s not forget no one really scores more than 20 points on the Giants, as their D keeps them in games they shouldn’t be in.
10 points is a lot to give to a Chargers team that took it on the chin from the Bengals last Sunday.

If you want to make some dosh off of Wade’s picks, all you have to do is select the Jaguars, Falcons, Texans & Giants. A £10 wager will net you £154.70.

See you Sunday!!

December Pride

by

The wild ride that has been the 2021 NFL season took another loop de loop this week, as Detroit finally won a game this season.

Wade and Ryan look back at all the week 13 games, as well as the important Lions big W in this December Pride podcast.

What hasn’t been a source of pride thus far this season, have been many of our Fantasy teams.
Injuries, lack lustre performances, and of course COVID all played a part in this being an inconsistent year of gameplay.

Only a week (or two) of NFL fantasy left, depending on how your league was set up.
Might as well go out in a flaming ball of glory!

Bears Down

Matt Nagy is a dead man walking, as the Bears lost another game with a consistent. limp performance.
The D is mostly gone, no protection for the QB, and Allen Robinson has pretty much checked out.
At least they don’t have to face anyone tough this week…oh yeah, the Packers.

Matty Iced

Another losing season for Matt Ryan, as that Super Bowl feels a million years away.
The only highlight for the Falcons this season has been Patterson, a guy who has been tossed off more than Deshaun Watson.
TB12 and the Bucs move on to face the Pats in the Super Bowl?

Wash This

The WFT are a dirty team that can’t stay clean. By dirty, we mean that they seem to keep themselves on everyone, keeping games close and keeping themselves in the playoff loop.
Heinicke, Heineken, Heimlich…this kid can ball..of course having a running game helps too.

Russ Can Cook

Russell Wilson was able to cook macaroni on Sunday, sticking an L in the 49ers column.
Wow! Now the Seahawks have 4 wins, just one more than the Jets.
Seattle needs to just blow it all up now, as the magic stuff isn’t smoking anymore.

Pat Down

The Patriots are suddenly one of the scariest teams to face in the NFL.
Mac Jones impressed by throwing for 19 yards last week, in a game that will be known more for its bluster, than the score.
Buffalo messed up a few opportunities, which led to their demise.
Can they enact vengeance when they meet again next?

NFL Holidays

The NFL is blasting all season long at the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street and Clapham.

Make sure that you book a table for one of the many NFL Sunday Fundays we have cooking in the month of December.

Boxing Day will be lit like a tree, and the 19th and 12th will have a bounty of games under the TV trees of the Sports Bar & Grills.

Make sure you book yourself a table NOW so that you don’t miss out on all the holiday NFL games.

Thanks for listening to our December Pride podcast, we will have more great content popping up throughout the next few weeks, and all through the holidays.

 

 

Sports Holidays

by

December is here, which means you wasted another year without realising it.
Don’t worry, you’re not alone here.

As you look for things to do to entertain yourselves during the month of December, why not pop down to either the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street or Clapham to settle in for your Sports Holidays?

The announcement of Omicron has spread quickly around the globe, as men-children around the world held out hopes that someone Omicron was a Transformer here to save us.

Doom and gloom can take a vacation this holiday season, so make sure that you book a table so that you can settle in for a dark month of sport.

NFL Sundays

Sunday Fundays at the Sports B&G got even better, with a wicked lineup of NFL games every Sunday.

The calendar Gods are rewarding NFL fans this season with not only games on Christmas, but on Boxing Day as well.

NFL Sundays fall on the 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th of December, giving fans four full Sundays of NFL, plus a wicked week 17 line-up on January 2nd.
(still technically the holidays!)

The best way to enjoy the games is to make a booking, and let the lovely team know which games you are looking for!

Boxing Day

Boxing Day hold particular sporting significance in the UK, dating back hundreds of years.

Ever since a little underdog named Jimmy ‘Jesus’ the Saviour fought Kris Kringle on the snowy mounds on Mistletoe Lane, Boxing Day has been synonymous with action.

The Premier League might rule the roost on Boxing Day, but once those games are over, the NFL takes over in epic fashion.
The Sports Bar will be very BUSY on Boxing Day, so please make a booking so that we can get your table sorted before the NFL kicks off.

NCAA Football

Both Clapham and Old Street will endeavour to show as much college football as they can, but they are limited by what is shown on the UK sports networks.

Luckily, BT Sport ESPN have upped their game as of late, adding more college games to the fold every weekend.

If the college games air on a UK sports network, they will be happy to throw the games on for you.

Be sure to check the TV schedules for all the days that you’re looking for.

Get in touch with the team if you would like to book a big group in.

Playoffs

The Sports Bar and Grill(s) will be working to show as many NFL playoff games as possible.

With the time changes and schedule upheavals, we will keep you in the loop as to all of the updates and games as we know them.

Make sure you keep us in mind for the SuperBowl as well!
