London Games 2022

by

‘Whomp there it is’, in the words of the immortal ‘Tag Team’ we now know the full dealio for the NFL London games 2022.

Who’s coming? Where are they playing? Is Antonio Brown coming?
All of these questions answered and more in a ‘too early to tell’ about what’s going to actually go down for these games.
We are fuelled by excitement at this point.

Germany

Raise up your steins and scream out a ‘Prosit!’, as the NFL makes its way to southern Germany for a great 2022 game, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Seattle Seahawks in Munich.

Slated for November 13th at 2:30 pm GMT (9:30am EST)-this is the penultimate game in the international series this season.

Everyone in Europe knows that the Germans have a HUGE love for the NFL, and are some of the nicest, coolest fans to pop to London when the games are in the UK.

German fans deserve this game, although they may not deserve a Drew Lock led Seattle team that will probably get blitzed by the Bucs D all day, every day.

Todd Bowles will be at the reigns for the Bucs this season, with Tom Brady being the best dang sports ambassador for the league in decades.

Who knows, maybe TB12 will jump behind the FOX booth to throw down a little broadcasting while he’s at it too?

Wembley

Once the most prestigious stadium in Europe, Wembley is back once again to panhandle a game from the Jags for the series.

Wembley is a far cry from its early 2000s’ NFL games, when there was nothing around the stadium, and fans found their own tailgating options-often gooning back tinnies in the Curry’s parking lot before kickoff.

This October sees the return of Russ, as Russell Wilson and his new look Broncos will be ready to rock the Urban Meyer-less Jacksonville Jaguars.

October 30th sees the Jacksonville Jaguars hosting the Denver Broncos for a 1:30pm (9:30amEST) kickoff in northwest London.

Chances are both teams will already have a losing record heading to London, but that’s the momentum they’ll need to head home and kick some ass.

Tottenham Stadium

Welcome to the jungle, as north London gets two beauties of games at the brand spanking newish stadium in Tottenham.

Sure, there is nothing to do around the stadium-and some of the side streets look pretty dodgy, but what a stadium!

White Hart Lane will be banging for two straight weeks of NFL games, as early October brings us our own harvest of gridiron feasts.

Sunday October 2 sees the New Orleans Saints hosting the Minnesota Vikings in a miracle rematch that will have NFC fans frothing.
With a 2:30pm (GMT) kickoff, this will be the first of our international games, and will harken back to 2017 when these two teams faced off in the playoffs.

It will be the Kirk Cousins led speedsters versus the punishing D of the Saints, in what should be a very exciting NFL game to start our journey.

Sunday October 9th is the day that Cheeseheads in UK will be sniffing their fingers, as Aaron Rodgers and the Pack make their first appearance ever in Europe, when the Green Bay Packers host the New York Giants at Tottenham.

It’s been a long wait for Wiconsinites in the UK, as the heralded Packers are finally playing their first game in Britain.

This game will sell out very quickly, and will be as tight as the Packers cap space for this season.

Going to be a great game!

Mexico

Ola! Welcome to Mexico City-please put your laser pointers in the bin-as the Arizona Cardinals host the San Francisco 49ers Sunday May 21st in Estadio Azteca at 1:30am GMT.

Will Jimmy G be leading the charge, or will they Trey Lance the boil that is the 49ers QB situation?

This game will have major divisional consequences, and it’s too bad it will be too late to watch.

Fun Things

We are already very excited about the games, and are working on some tailgating, after parties, as well as regular season events to entertain our loyal fans.

Watch this space as we drip feed some of the exciting things we will be doing for 2022!

 

 

Back to the Kitchen

by

Another week in the NFL offseason brings with it a myriad of shame, as we break down some of the lowest lows in this weeks’ podcast, Back to the Kitchen.

Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull go through all of the NFL malarky, to offer you some nuggets of wisdom, despite their limited intelligence.

It doesn’t stop Adam Shefter.

Here’s the podcast for this week!

Among some of the other things that the guys discuss in this podcast, includes:

Brady Balls

So the rumours keep chunking out that TB12 was due to not only QB the Dolphins, but also be a part owner, until bad boy Bill Belichick pissed all over the parade by tipping off Brian Flores.
If it’s all true, it’s a very Putin-esque way of making sure that Miami doesn’t expand in their division, after all, they’re full of nazis.
Brady might be back in 2023 to try this whole thing again!

Unfollow Deebo

After being used and abused as the ‘go-to’ man for the 49ers last years, speedster Deebo Samuel wants to get paid.
After watching Davante Adams get paid, then Tyreek, then everyone else, Deebo wants to be the next money man, and San Fran better pony up.
Of course, the 49ers like many teams don’t have the cashola to keep up with player egos, so Deebo’s block could remain in place until the team can find ways to ‘restructure.’

Carr’s Crackers

Derek Carr can finally breathe that big breath of freedom, as the Raiders made good on a promise to keep him in Sin City for the foreseeable future.
After signing for $121.5m until 2025, Carr solidifies himself as the longest termed QB of the future, and allowing him to play with all his speedy new toys.
Derek Carr is what Baker Mayfield wishes what he saw in the mirror.

Baker’s Baked

Baker Mayfield has now entered the ‘Whiny’ phase of his career, preferring to bitch and moan instead of doing anything about it.
BM was recently captured saying that he wishes he could ‘boo fans where they work’, to see how they liked it.
The does nothing to help Baker get a starting job this year, although it does give him the proper attitude to become a pundit.

AB BA ABBA!

Poor AB..actually, screw him! And Floyd Mayweather.
Floyd has offered to cover the losses of any team that takes a chance on AB (and offering him $20M) for the 2023 season.
If dude can’t keep it together playing with Tom Brady, do you think he’ll show any sense of class playing with the likes of Kirk Cousins or Carson Wentz?
Save the drama for your many baby mama’s!

Cam Cam Cam

Cam Newton made himself less relevant this week when he unleashed a slew of misogny for no reason whatsoever.
Cam was heard to be dismissive of women, and suggested that they ‘go back to the kitchen’, in a refreshing take for a man under 40.
If those fancy hats were stopping you from getting a job before Mr. Newton, your gendered social media performance will certainly help you out with that.

USFL

It’s back! If you have been missing the feels of football, you’re in luck this weekend, as the USFL returns to our televisions.
If you weren’t aware, the USFL existed in the 1980s’, but fell into ruin thanks to the efforts of a certain Donald Trump (plus way more reasons!).
Here’s something to jog your memory.

Anywho, the USFL is back this weekend, and will offer NFL fans a chance to catch on more football! Hooray!

The first game will see New Jersey face Birmingham at 12:30am GMT Sunday.

Sunday will see some more UK friendly viewing times, as Houston takes on Michigan at 5pm, Philly vs New Orleans at 9pm, and Tamps vs Pittsburgh on 1am Monday morning.

According the USFL website, the games will be available in the UK via ESPN International…so you probably won’t be able to watch them.

Dwayne Haskins

The NFL world was shocked this week to lose NFL player Dwayne Haskins in a roadside accident.

He was a young, black man who had enormous pressure thrust upon him as a starting QB, and his struggles were something we all could see on a weekly basis.

Hugs and love to his family and friends who have to deal with such a senseless tragedy.

Enjoy your Easter weekend!

 

Memes A Plenty

by

Hear that silence?
It’s the NFL season slowly deflating like a ball in the Patriots locker room.

While the frenetic energy of the NFL season is still a scant 5 months away, we have been treated to some great NFL news to tide us over.

Of course, the best way to keep in touch with the NFL season, is just to check out all the wonderful memes that are floating around.

We have collated and curated some of the best, most recent ones, in our Memes A Plenty post.

Among some of the top meme news that gets touched on here includes.

Aaron Rodgers is Back

The Packers finally caved like Putin wished the Ukrainians would, and relented to the onslaught of Aaron’s agent.

The deal will make the 38 year old Packer the highest paid player in the NFL, and guarantee that he will take up 22% of their entire budget.

That’s a lot of dosh for a guy who chokes out of the playoffs ever year, and is totally lacking the supporting crew to make up the rest of the team.

Davante Adams is good, but are both players worth a third of your entire budget? No.

The Packers need to win this year, or they will be hella broke for a long time.

Denver Russ

Russell Wilson is finally cooking again, after a massive trade deal to the Denver Broncos.

Despite head coach Pete Carroll saying that they were not going to get rid of Russ, they quickly shipped him off, taking Drew Lock and some change in the deal.

An ugly deal all around that will see both teams still struggling as a result.

London Games

You ready for some NFL London?

Games are still set for this fall, and we know that the Packers, Saints and Jaguars…and Aaron Rodgers will be finally set to make an appearance across the pond.

We will have more details about NFL parties and all that jazz as the games get closer.

NFL Draft

Are you interested in watching the 2022 NFL Draft?

We will be working with some venues to make sure that you can catch the draft until the wee hours.

USFL

Are you interested in watching the USFL? So are we.

We are working with some venues and potentially the league to show some of the games throughout the season here in the UK.

Feel free to get in touch if you’re keen.

56 Review

by

Congrats to the Super Bowl winning LA Rams for holding out for the big win at home to win Super Bowl 56.

The Bengals came close, Eli Apple got burnt, OBJ got hurt, the commercials suck, and the whole world has gone crypto in our 56 Review podcast.

Wade and Ryan break it all down in this podcast, as it has become evident that their love of the NFL will take a hit over the next 6 months, as the game hits its off season slumber for the next 6 months.

Here’s the podcast you filthy animals.

Among some of the other things that the guys talk to in this episode includes:

TB12

Adam Shefter might have ruined the news, or even inspired Tom Brady to come back for another shot at the title with a different team.
The rumour mill is churning that SoCal boy Tommy wants to end his career playing for his childhood idols, the San Francisco 49ers.
With Jimmy G riding off to the sunset, the Niners are holding out for Trey Lance to hold the keys to their future.
Will San Fran invest in the diminutive Lance, or will they crack open the wallet to welcome TB12 back to Cali?
When it comes to Tom Brady, nobody knows what to expect.

Jackson Mahomes

Was he banned from attending games? Was he caught doing cocaine at a concert? Does he actually do anything?

Jackson Mahomes was in the news again, like a stunted Kardashian.

Patrick’s little brother (and fiancee) have denied that they are being banned from attending future games, but it would really help us all if they were.

Can you still send someone to the ‘Russian Front’?

A-Aron

You can’t mention Tommy without throwing a bone to Aaron Rodgers.
Despite his desire for a ‘Last Dance’, Rodgers was once again interrupted in his journey for trophy glory, by those pesky Niners.
Add to this a separation from his fiancee (he really hates rings), and a world of wonder emerges as to what they fate of Aaron will be in 2022.
The Packers have no money, and will most likely leverage their foreseeable future trying to chase a title like the Rams did.
Will Aaron stay in Lambeau, or will he test the waters in Denver, Pittsburgh, or beyond?
Wherever he goes, just know he’s smarter than you.

Crypto Crazy

Watching the Super Bowl ads, one would think that crypto runs the world, or at least is in the pockets of every major actor.
Big celebs hocking digital currency after a pandemic shows us just how broke ass some famous people must be.
Looking at you Larry David…

Flores

Brian Flores blew up the league when he pointed out the obvious and ignored signs of racism in the league.
Despite everyone thinking that Flores would never coach again, the Steelers did a turn and hired him as the defensive co-ordinator.
The lawsuit against the league still goes ahead, but well done on Pittsburgh for taking a chance on a guy who definitely deserves a job in the league.

London Games

We have NFL games in London scheduled for 2022! Hooray all around.
While we don’t know the exact dates, and teams that will be popping over the pond, we do have a better idea of who will be coming over to entertain English crowds.
One NFL game is confirmed in Munich, as the rumour mill is churning out that the game could be a contest between the New England Patriots, and the Chicago Bears.
Watch this space for more news on the NFL in Germany.
As for the London games, we know that there will be two games at Tottenham, and another at Wembley.
The Wembley game will feature the Jacksonville Jaguars, and a yet to be named NFC team.
The New Orleans Saints have also tipped their hand that they will also be popping over to Blighty this season, using their London visit to oblige the league, and satisfy that they don’t need to return for at least 8 years.
Who will the other teams be? We will make our guesses throughout the season.

Super Thanks

Just wanted to thank everyone who came out to our fantastic Super Bowl parties on Sunday.
Everything was full and fun, and good times were reported by all.
We look forward to promoting more great games for you in 2022!

Playoff Memes

by

How meme it is to be in the playoffs!

As many fans of our site know, we love some good memes. They are a great way to represent all of the ‘feels’ that we have after an emotional week, all tightly put together with a witty caption.

The Memery is in full effect, with loads of storylines ripping through the league to make this one of the best weeks ever! Here are your Playoff Memes for this week.

TB12

Adam Shifty Shefter needs to go.

This guy swirls around the bowl looking for fresh turds to write stories on. Many of you will know that he outed Brady’s retirement last week, causing panic in the Bucs and Brady households.
Shefter finally admitted he ‘got it wrong’, but the damage to his career was already done.

Tom Brady did retire, but it’s doubtful he would have done so in the post season during the playoffs if it wasn’t for Shefter.
