I'll be there. Going to France the next day so the whole tribe is staying over on London whilst my nipper and I go to the game.

i'll be there (tailgate and game). bit annoyed chargers aren't the home team, i might end up being in a minority supporting the chargers. also a bit annoyed merriman got crocked.

 

I think Chargers will win it, hopefully coming into form now and Rivers has been superb so far.

 

looking forward to seing LT and reggie bush, bush got up to 22mph on a punt return the other week (according to ESPN).

i hope everyone going has a great time, i worked in Boston many years ago for a couple of months and watched the Patriots at Foxboro.

The day long experience with my American friends was great, although watching the game live from a distance is quite difficult.

Excellent. The pitch will be ruined even more than usual.

 

American football is like Rugby for nancy boys.

 

well they played the soccer beforehand this time, so it won't affect the england soccer team.

 

and rugby is rugby for nancy boys. i don't think they discriminate.

No Reggie Bush.

 

Being a Saints fan I should be extra disappointed. Nonetheless, I think Shaun Payton has a tendency to under-utilise Deuce McAllister in favour of Reggie Bush, and so now he has no choice but to use Deuce.

 

On Sunday I shall be shouting: "DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEE!"

I completely forgot to get tickets, am gutted :(

 

Should be a very good match, weather permitting.

 

Think you had to be pretty sharp about it though.

Weren't they sold out pretty quickly?

Not the best of matches, the Chargers are having a pretty poor season and the Saints are a disaster this time round. Still NFL is always a spectacle worth seeing.

thought they would have got Vashti Bunyan in to sing the national anthem though.

Should be a good one, my Seahawks have been AWFUL this year, so it's nice to be able to concentrate on some different teams. Suppose I'll be cheering for the Saints, because Philip Rivers' arrogance irritates me hugely.

 

Anyone know if Mike Carlson is going to be involved in the coverage on the BBC?

yes, Carlson will be doing stuff for the BBC, his copresenter will be that fella from childrens bbc, who did last years, and has been doing a few sports shows here and there. can't remember his name though.

 

I don't think Rivers is arrogant, he just has a loud mouth, I thought the byebyebaby stuff against jay cutler last season was pure entertainment. It was a big rivalry game, he stuck it to em!
