What's the best / legit place to get NFL gear in the UK?

Got scammed last year out of £75 for a few hats from a place in Leeds/Manchester (forget which) that looked legit but clearly wasn't!

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.
Christian Wade didn't make the last 53 but is on the practice squad, can of course be called up at any time so I'm sure it's good news for him and supporters of his, I was keeping half an eye on him and expected him to make the 53

Struggling to find any information, is there a Fan Rally in London this year ? Usually tied in with one of the games, just can't see it advertised anywhere. Had some good days out on both Regents St / Picadilly and also Trafalgar Square.

The commentators where saying that basically none of the stars bar mayfield had taken part in pre-season, so i imagine its going to take abit of time for them to gel.

What sort of dick though allows that?!

Well we, ?(The Browns) , after the 1st drive where completely and utterly useless.

So many penalties i lost count. 1 off a franchise record i think?
Baker looked lost, keeping hold of the ball. JUST GET RID OF IT.
OL didn't know what to do. DL all over the place.
Player ejected for kicking in the face, WTF are you playing at??

Jets game on MNF becomes massive now.

At least Steelers got spanked too biggrin

The 'star' receivers (Landry and OBJ) and RBs (Chubb) didn't play in the pre-season games but did take part in the training camp. There was lots of competition for the second string WR places so that's who were getting all the pre-season game time, which very well may have backfired.

Yeah apparently didn't want them to get injured so they have hardly played a snap all pre season.

we gave up 182 yards in Penalties LOL

Too much flash, hype, fireworks, social media ... and NO substance. That’s the embarrassing part to me.

Guess who else didn't play in the pre- season? Brady, Edelman, Gordon, Michel etc...………………..

They looked pretty ready last night.

Steelers were abysmal. Patriots just carried on from last season. It's going to be a long season if your a Steelers fan......

Any other Vikings fans here? Perennial underachievers. Hopes sky high at the start of every season, only to be undone by the kickers at some point!

Good to see the Saturday NFL show getting a good time slot - 0100 (or thereabouts) on a Sunday morning

I noticed that 'Chappers' said the show would be on the iplayer and Red Button earlier on a Saturday.

Do they record it Saturday morning or Friday? (or even earlier, perhaps at the same time as the Tuesday show!)

Perhaps they could put the show out Saturday morning after Football Focus (or on BBC2) where it might be seen by casual fans.

From what i can find online, viewing figure wise, it seems that last year the majority of viewers for the Saturday night NFL show watched on catch up / iPlayer rather than live after the Premier League highlights so that appears to be why the BBC have shoved it later in the schedule this year as "filler". It's also repeated on Sunday morning on BBC2 - well if you want to get up at 5.45am that is hehe

Last week i noticed that they'd uploaded it to the iPlayer earlier on Saturday afternoon and it was also on the Red Button service on a cycled repeat from 9PM to 10.30PM, so it might be worth checking the red button schedule tomorrow incase it's being shown earlier again this week.

Filming wise i think they must do it either Thursday or Friday as last week they were discussing the Antonio Brown saga and whether or not he'd be fined / dropped or sacked for his behaviour and during the show a banner started running saying that since filming Brown had left.

Speaking of Brown - that's been an interesting saga - signs for new club, multi-million dollar contract, fannies around, gets dropped, gets signed by the Patriots on an even bigger contract, and is now under investigation for a couple of historic, and one recent, rape accusation which he's evidently just laughed off in interviews. It should be interesting seeing how he fits into the Patriots as if he continues to mess around i can't see Belichick letting that go on.

His Pats contract is only about about half of what the raiders were going to pay him.

The Pats must be pretty confident that the allegations won't stand up or he would be pounding sand already.
