To help you out, we’ve partnered once again with FanDraft for 2021.
Using our unique promo code ‘London15‘ will get you 15% off your Fandraft subscription, and open you up to a whole new world of drafting possibilities.

To get the basics of FanDraft, they have a handy walk through guide to getting you set up, and ready to host your Draft Party

Interactive Drafts

The old way of drafting is dead. No longer do you have to worry about ordering a sticker pack of names off of Amazon, only to be disappointed with the quality once it arrives.
FanDraft is totally unique, and you can use it live or remotely.
Once you set it up, it’s just a click and your draft is live.
Best of all, it exports all of your draft into excel files, so that you can easily add them to whatever NFL Fantasy platform that you use.

Remote Drafting

Thanks to COVID, NFL draft parties took on a whole new look last year.
Many fans had to eschew the traditional draft party to Zoom it with their mates.
Zoom drafting sucks, which is why FanDraft is so needed.
You can easily send your mates a remote login, and they can just click and they’re ready to draft.
Just make sure that everyone has a good internet connection to get you going.

TV Hook Up

We usually hook our laptop into a TV to broadcast our NFL Draft, so that everyone can see and shout along.
This works really well if you’re hosting a few drafts on the same day.
Here is a little walk through on how to hook up FanDraft to your TV.

Features

For all the features of the new FanDraft 2021, all you have to do is watch this video.
FanDraft will walk you through all the fun settings you can play around with, as well as ways to piss off your buddies with walk in music, and various sound effects to burn them in even their greatest moments of drafting glory.

To get your subscription going, head to FanDraft today!

London Venues

by

The 2021 NFL season is so close you can almost smell it, and we’re excited to announce some new London Venues that we are partnering with.

NFL in London is going ‘OG’, as we return to our roots with some wicked NFL parties at the Sports Bar & Grill-Old Street and Clapham.
We are thoroughly looking forward to working with their team again, and offering all the UK fans a great place to watch NFL throughout the season.

COVID has certainly changed the sports viewing landscape in the past few years, and we were pretty nervous as to how late night, live sports viewing would return.

We wanted to make sure that NFL fans in London could have:
-a dedicated venue to showing the NFL games.
-zones where NFL fans could sit outside of football
-open late enough to show the 9pm Sunday games in their entirety
-good sports food
-located to major transit hubs
-a destination for London game after parties.

TVs

There are over 25 TVs in Old Street, and 15 in Clapham-enough to watch all of the NFL games.
The Old Street location also has 8 tables with their OWN TV, so that you and your mates can have the game right at your table.
The bar will also have different viewing zones, so that you can watch the game that you want.

History

Our history with the Sports Bar and Grill goes back to 2008 in the olde Marylebone location, and was the original London venue.
Those who visited us ‘back in the day’ were treated to comedy shows, Madden tournaments, and celebrity appearances.
We are working with some new partners to bring all of that stuff back again!
Just watch this space, and we will let you know the latest news.

Locations

We are proud to be working with the team(s) at the Old Street and Clapham locations, who will be pivoting both branches towards Sunday Funday’s of NFL.
Both bars will be showing loads of NFL games, Redzone, as well as offering burger, wing and beer deals for you hungry fans.
Old Street will be open EVERY SUNDAY for NFL, with a ‘last call’ at midnight, so that you can enjoy the end of the 9pm games (and not get rudely rushed out).
Clapham will not be open late EVERY Sunday, but we will be working with them to create special events, and viewing parties for fan takeovers.
Want to book the joint to watch your team dominate?
Get in touch!

Reservations

If you want to come down one Sunday, or have a particular Sunday in mind, you’re going to need a reservation at one of our London venues.
These help us let the bar know how many people are coming, as well as plan seating, staffing, and in general makes the whole process flow better-so please contact us if you want a table.
Initial bookings should be targeted to us, and we will work with the bar to get you in front of the TVs you are looking for.
You will need to provide the SB&G with a credit card to hold the table, which is standard and fair.

London Games

Yes! We will be going hard for the London games.
Both matches start at 2:30pm GMT (9:30am EST), so we will be offering before and after options for you and your crew.
The Old Street location will be open LATE for both games, so make sure that you get in touch with us so that we can guarantee you a table for all the action.
We will have more information for you over the next few weeks.

We are very excited to be working with the team at the Sports Bar & Grill once again, and look forward to welcoming you to our parties at both Old Street and Clapham.
More exciting news to be announced over the coming weeks, watch our spaces.

 

Jets TV

by

We’re living in the ‘age of content’, so it’s no surprise that NFL teams are looking to fill the void by creating their own unique footage.
Enter the New York Jets.

‘Flight 2021′ is a new, YouTube series dedicated to the start of the New York Jets 2021 season. If you’re looking to follow all things green and white in the NYC, then this Jets TV might be a good thing to check out.

With the Jets London bound to face the Falcons in 2021, UK and European fans might want to keep in touch with all of the latest Jets news, as well as fan announcements for any Jets activities that might be going on during their October trip.

While regular NFL fans might want to sleuth their own teams’ social video content schedule, those who are planning on attending the Falcons vs Jets at Tottenham stadium in October might find value in this series.

These ‘behind the scenes’ types of videos are great for fans for numerous reasons.
Firstly you get to hear team news from the team, it’s not redacted or pumped full of ads, so you get the news straight from the horses mouth.

Secondly, you actually get to see the people involved in the decision making, and you can find them on social media.
For any UK fans looking to make contact with Jets or Falcons team personal, these type of videos give you the name and position of those in the know.
While no one likes a LinkedIn ‘cold call’, using proper NFL channels might get you the info that you need.

Lastly, boredom. One thing we’ve learned from Covid is that good video content is liking a shipping container. Hard to find and difficult to fill.
While we all wait for the NFL to start up again in September, we can all take solace in the fact that there is now more football video content to watch.

Even if it is the Jets.

Summer of Sport

by

What a bounty of gameplay we have ahead of us in 2021!
All hail the Summer of Sport!

From the NHL and NBA playoffs, to the 2020 Euros (what?).
Baseball is back, and so is TB12 to take on year another QB foe in a golf off.
And let’s not forget those Tokyo Olympics! Sure, they were off last year, but this year they are back with trepidation.
That leads us all the way into September for the big show in sport.

Wade & Ryan look at some of the scant trickling of NFL news that trickles down the wall in June.
The OTA’s are on, but who is really watching them?

Among some of the other big stories the boys talk about are:

Julio Jones

Me and Julio are heading down to the Titans yard, after a big swoop in by Tennessee to secure the veteran WR.
AJ Brown did everything except promise his first born to JJ, becoming the fan boy who made us all a little creeped out.
Julio has a new home, now let’s see what he does this season.

TB12 Joker

Tom Brady doesn’t seem to get an F anymore when it comes to social media. He is the embarrassing dad of the NFL, posting half baked memes, sly digs, and shots across the bow at former foes.
Isn’t it grand?
Brady is obviously having way more fun than in Boston, which should be scary for everyone.

Who stole the Wilfork’s?

Poor Vince Wilfork. There’s nothing worse than that violating feeling of being robbed, only to find out that the thief was your very own spawn.
The children of rich kids, huh?
Vince’s son stole all of his jewellery to pawn off, not really thinking the whole process through.
Instead of therapy, why not put them on a reality TV show?

Kyler Hates Dallas

Everything is bigger in Texas, except Kyler Murray.
Jumping onto a soundbite, Murray was quick to diss ‘America’s Team’, and the hype that surrounds them.
If only Kyler was a wee bit bigger, he might be able to see over that O-Line of his.

Oh Aaron

Aaron Rodgers is still holding out, preferring to spend his summer watching Myles Teller get popped in the mouth around the Caribbean.
All signs point to Rodgers NOT returning this year, perhaps he’ll spend the fall watching Jeopardy reruns and hoping that they would give him that forever call.

Le’Veon Bell Ringing

Le’Veon Bell knows how to talk his way out of a job.
All you have to do is attack one of the nicest coaches in the league, and accuse him of ‘hating’ you.
Bell already led his own face out of Pittsburgh with idiocy, so it goes to figure that Bell would do the same to screw his way out of KC.
What’s the end game Le’Veon?
Do you really think that teams are that desperate for an overweight, and needy RB?
Maybe by week 6.

London Games

Freedom Day is here…almost…sort of.
The UK was due to open up like a beautiful flower on June 21st, 2021, but now that all got scuppered due to another ‘variant’.
This means that the UK is ‘due’ to return to ‘normal’ by the end of July 2021, giving us plenty of time to welcome fans in for the October NFL games at Tottenham.
Of course there is a whole summer of virus ahead of us, so we will take it one down at a time.
When we know something, we will let you know as well.

Here’s the podcast for this week.
It’s short, sweet, and misses the mark on many occasions…just like Kyler Murray.

Have a great summer, stay safe, stay sane…and get ready for some football!

June Memery

by

The dull, dog days of June lag on.
Sure, there are the Euros, the upcoming Olympics, and the frenetic action of the NBA and NHL playoffs…but it’s just not the NFL is it?
To entertain you with all things NFL, we offer you some more June Memery.

In a world gone lazy, memes do all the work of a regular post-combing a clever picture with a pithy little caption.
Brilliant for all us melting in the summer sun of brain fog.

We have compiled a cute little selection of memes from around the league.

Share, care, turn into underwear.
We just want the NFL back…and soon.

If you have any memes that you want to share, just tag us in them.
We would love to pop them into the NFL in London community.
