"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

Rams!!

There isn't a single team this year's who's defence is worse than the pats. Unbelievably bad. No more rings for Brady!!!

Cheers Mike.

Khan who owns Jacksonville has said he may be willing to give up more than one game in the future to play in London but I'm not sure a permanent franchise will happen anytime soon. maybe one of the L.A. franchises will fold as I don't see particularly strong support for either

And how likely is it for London to get a team in the NFL and how would it work with an existing team leaving the league?

they both get a fee but the team giving up a home game also get put higher up the superbowl host rotation list which can potentially earn a franchise millions. there's probably other factors too but certain clubs with a strong fan base are obviously reluctant to give up one of their home games and piss off their supporters

"Question. What do these two teams get from playing this match in London? And if it's money, surely they can make more by playing at home!"

Awful game...and im a Fins fan

"Knew it would be an even game, but fuck me. Never seen so many flags."

"Does anyone here use NFL game pass and if you do, does it work with chromecast? I use treating sites normally because I want to choose my games but they're not massively reliable."

*Brees* poxy phone

"i agree about Breed though, future hall of famer"

"Don't be so sure. The Fins lost last week to the worst Jets team that I have ever seen. And I've seen some crap from the Jets down the years (such as Rich Kotite's mid-90s SNL impression of a head coach). So my guess is that the game today might have some drama, but will lack quality."

"should be much better than last week. many want to see the Brit Ajayi for Miami, and Drew Brees already a legend for the Saints ."

you taking the piss? the current dolphins are in no best game anywhere ever

"Probably about the best game they've had at Wembley today, at least on paper. Should be a good one."

The protests this week had much less to do with what Kaepernick was originally protesting and more to do with the brotherhood of the NFL uniting when Trump came after the few players that were protesting.

crystal falace I have no agenda it's all in the fucking news right now.

"Tannehill was their starter going into the season but he did his knee in one of the first practices of training camp, Adam gase their head coach worked with Cutler when he had his best time in chicago, so it seems like a good fit, he's a talented pkayer, he has an absolute cannon of an arm but its his work ethic and real commitment to the game that has always been in question"

"kaepernick would have been signed were not for his love/admiration of fidel castro. again, I hate politics anywhere near the sport so I couldn't a fuck where the cսnt plays but clearly the dolphins thought it was an issue"

Fair point crystal. How in the actual fuck did Jay Cutler get the gig? Surely a coach who has worked with him before would know his obvious limitations.

"Seriously fick off this theead with your agenda, i understand why the players are doing it i have no real opinion either way on it, but this thread is to talk about nfl not politics, go start your own thread"

"What I see very clearly is a police force in extreme trouble they have to work for a terrible system that allows them to abuse those who are poor those who are Black and those who are ethnic. The job of the Police in America is to fill prisons so that money can be made and that should not be the job of the police at all. In fact I would say the whole system is spent and very corrupt , what Kaepernick began was a scream of ""enough is enough"" not only are Blacks getting killed but the Police are not even being held to account for there actions and that hurts, it makes Blacks feel like animals or vermin and that is not on. You avoid me Takashi I am no one, but where you see politics I see humanity, when governments want they will use their sports people for political issues and you know what most will not even notice simply because they agree or are happy to go with the status quo. Politics is life I guess, what is a flag and why is it so important ? John Agard knows read his poem and learn something."

The US flag thing is woven into their tradition. I spent my first year at school in Miami (still have my tiny Bob Griese shirt) and one of the few thing I remember from that year is pledging allegiance to flag at the start of the school day. Thought it was weird then and still do.

"But that's where Trump has fucked up and made it worse. In Charlottesville, he condemns Nazis but said not everybody in the group was a Nazi. Some fine people on both sides. But in this case, there are no fine people peacefully protesting. All of the protestors are sob's. It makes him look like a cock. From what i can tell, this could have been over with inside the year. Now the protest has moved onto him. Great way to disguise the fact he threatened war with North Korea or his new healthcare plan is going to be vetoed or his own staff used personal e-mail accounts or he's put in place new travel restrictions. No, we're talking about sports. It's a bit of a joke."
