NFL (no haters)

Went to a AAA Baseball game last night, Indianapolis Indians v Syracuse Mets.
Nothing unusual until the Mets left fielder came in to bat. What a surprise, No 15, Tim Tebow! His innings, just like his NFL career, was short but it was clear that plenty of people had turned up on a hot, humid and ultimately wet Midwest night just to see the former first round draft pick. He's been working his way up through the minors so we may yet see him turning out in the majors for the NY Mets.

We had a Jets Tebow Jersey as the Sacko Bowl prize for our fantasy team. I wore it every dress down Friday from the end of one season to the start of the next, and to a Wembley game we all went to. I even had my picture taken with lots of other Tebow jersey wearers.Nothing unusual until the Mets left fielder came in to bat. What a surprise, No 15, Tim Tebow!

There is a Facebook page called Finding Tebow with a bit of a run down of the experience.

New 'All or notihng' on Prime with the Panthers.
Apparently the players aren't happy at all about how they come across.
Similarly that Netflix show 'Last Chance U' about the junior college team of misfits, the second season started with the coach talking about the shock of seeing how he behaved at games when he lost his temper and how he was making an effort to change his behaviour.Apparently the players aren't happy at all about how they come across.

And then proceeded to behave in exactly the same way throughout the second season!Fantastic show though!
I see Christian Wade has scored his first touchdown in his first game. A bit disappointed he didn’t dive over the line though.

I don’t have a ‘team’; might just start following the Bills.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/american-football/4928...

wait to see if he makes the cut before picking one, the Browns should be quite exciting to watch this season if you fancy a good underdog team if the Brit doesnt make it though if your after picking a team because a brits in, have a look at some of the rosters and go from therelemmingjames said:

Yeah, watched a couple YouTube clips about him and the commentators mentioned that Wade may still be cut as Bills are fairly deep in his position.Hopefully he’ll continue to have strong performance during pre-season and will get picked up by a team down the line.
I’m just a casual armchair fan really; happy not to ‘have’ a team and just enjoy the show.

Anyone know if bet365 are running 14up this season?
Had two big wins last season on the Bears and the Bengals after both won after going 14 down and I let my bets run.
Reply from 365 that all available offers will be sent to your account via email or site message. Slightly worrying but may turn out good. No mention of it anywhere so far but season doesn't kick off until the 5th Sept. Green Bay vs Chicago, not sure if on Sky.Had two big wins last season on the Bears and the Bengals after both won after going 14 down and I let my bets run.
GO PACK GO.
It seems Jay-Z has forgotten about his very public statement of support for Colin Kaepernick and how he refused to have anything to do with the NFL's Superbowl half time show, etc, that he spent 2016-2018 talking about & saying how the NFL wasn't supporting Colin, there was in-built racism, etc, etc.
Well i guess if you get offered a lucrative deal to help co-ordinate the Superbowl half time shows over the next few years, which involves at least one of his production companies getting involved in the lead / background music / dancing performances, bookings, etc, then i guess it's easy to overlook your previous stance on the NFL.

Didn’t really follow the whole Kaepernick saga as I’m only a casual fan, so wasn’t aware of Jay-Z’s stance.
I guess ‘green’ trumps everything huh.
