Week 4 Touchdowns

by

What a week it was in the NFL!
Touchdowns galore!
Unless of course you were Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes, who had ZERO touchdowns in week 4.

The Eagles and Jordan Howard opened some whoop-ass TDs on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers to kick-off TNF to start the week.
Packers fans hated that loss. They start to sound like Cowboys fans when they are on a winning streak, and Cowboys fans when they lose!

Baker Mayfield and the Browns opened it up on the surprised Ravens, and Lamar Jackson truly looked lost at home.
He was not the TD machine that everyone thought.

How about ‘dem Bills?
Buffalo choked the Patriots to submission on Sunday, not allowing them to make the cover and thoroughly chasing TB12 around the field.

Mahomes and the Chiefs needed the running game to score on Sunday, as Matt Stafford and the Lions made it a tough afternoon of football.

The big surprise? How about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
They combined with the LA Rams for 95 points-with so many touchdowns, it takes up a big chunk of this video.

Enjoy & see you Sunday!

Ep 65-Week 4 Preview

by

Week 4 in the NFL is already afoot, and we are starting to get nervous that the season will end soon…and the Patriots win again.
Is this like a Groundhog Day kind of thing with them?

Wade & Ryan sit down with a few sody-pops to chat about all of the games for week 4 in the league.

They look at some of the big games this weekend, and if you feel like watching-when not join us at Belushi’s Hammersmith for all of the big games.

Chargers (1-2) (-15.5) vs Dolphins (0-3) +44
The dolphins are dead. Like living in the Dead Sea dead.
Is there any point in teams trying against them?
Are they purposely tanking the season?
Will they go in 0-16?
Probably.

Raiders (1-2) vs Colts (2-1) (-7) +45
The Colts have been hobbled by gopher holes of injuries this season, so they will need all the cowhands on deck for this match-up against the lowly Oakland Raiders. Derek Carr looks like this is his final season with the legion of doop.

Titans (1-2) vs Falcons (1-2) (-4) +45.5
The Falcons have a loose O-line. While that sounds very ‘street’ and a good thing, it definitely isn’t. Can they even protect Matt Ryan anymore?
Ryan thinks that the Falcons can win this one, where Wade thinks this will turn into the Derick Henry show on the ground.

Join us this Sunday at Belushi’s Hammersmith to watch the games!
See you Sunday!

London-What to Avoid

by

What should you NOT do in London if you DON’T want to get ripped off?
Jess from ‘Love & London’ on YouTube has created her master list of things to avoid while you are visiting the capital.

We are happy to share her list to any folks that might be visiting from the US, Canada, Europe or Asia, to make sure that you can have a safe and enjoyable holiday.

Some of the places Jess recommends if you don’t want to get ripped off?

Leicester Square
Unless you’re a pigeon, street urchin, or rickshaw driver, it’s best to avoid this tourist trap if you like your wallet.
Not only does it attract loads of thieves and charlatans, it is crazy expensive & it isn’t a very nice area to be at night.
Unless you like vomit and violence, then you’re good.

Pub Food
Some pubs have great pub food, and a lot have horrible, just horrible food. So bad that you will dream of Rotten Ronald McDonald. We agree with Jess to look for ‘authentic’ and ‘traditional’ in the window-and avoid these as everything will be frozen then microwaved.

West End Wierdness
London’s West End is home to the theatre and loads of great entertainment.
There are also a whole bunch of horrible, horrible places where you will want to leave as soon as you get in.
Again-Leicester Square is rife with this, as hucksters will ply their paper trying to entice you into some of their lascivious lounges.
The further you move into Covent Garden, the safer you are more likely to be.
Otherwise you will end up schucking loads of dough on an amateur comedy night, a horrible improv show, or even worse…a strip show based on a horrible movie.

London Stuff

by

Are you coming to visit London in 2019 for one of the many NFL games?
Is it your first time and not sure what to do?
Well, we have lived here for a long time, so as expats we can give you a top ten list of things that might help you in your journey over here.
Here is one of our (many) lists of things to do when you’re over here.

Getting Around
Get an Oyster Card. These bad boys of travel allow you to jump on the tube, bus, overground, DLR, and some boats. Just top it up after buying it, and it will figure out your journey.
If there is more than 3 of you then you might want to consider getting a taxi.
Download the app citymapper to help plan how to get around.

Food
If you’re coming from North America, you will notice that food is smaller, fresher and tastes different. You’re travelling-get use to it. London has loads of great restaurants, so feel free to try different cuisines. London has some of the best Indian food on the planet-so make a trip to Bricklane to find out. We would not recommend some of the big chains-as the food is pretty dire. Also the burgers in London aren’t as good as home (no matter what they tell you) so avoid the fancy burger joints and their charcoal pucks.

Nightlife
Sadly, London is not a 24 hour city. The lack of late night haunts and places to go after midnight is deplorable.
There are some bars, and areas-but you will need to be prepared to leave at any moment.
Avoid casinos in London as well, as they are cheaper, tackier versions of US casinos with horrible food and service. You will probably lose a wallet at the central casinos as well.

Tipping
Tipping is encouraged at certain places, but read the bottom of the menu or your receipt. If it says ‘15% gratuity included’, then don’t worry about it.
In the end it comes down to humanity. Did this person carry your bags, make you feel welcome, or make your stay more enjoyable? Then a few quid goes a long way.

We will continue to update you on advice, and feel free to reach out so that we can help you on your London journey even more.
