Anyone else unable to contain their excitement?

GO RAIDERS!!!

Well, I can't say I'm quite as excited as you, but it's good to see it's back. I guess I'll have to get used to being tired at work on Monday mornings again!

Come on Jets!

Here in LA and I can't get away from the bl**dy thing.

All day Saturday College Football.
All day Sunday NFL.
Monday night Football.

And the only Premiership football I get is a week old in Spanish. Even the internet radio Channel 5 can't broadcast the commentary because of licencing issues.

I guess someone has to be excited about NFL.

Can't wait for Sunday, and it's a double header too!!!

Shame about the Giants losing last night though. Thought we had a fair chance this year, but on that performance it would be surprising if they make the playoffs. Oh well.

No wonder this is my favorite time of year!

I just thought of something, ORAC: Regarding access to Premiership broadcasts, have you tried this site?

http://www.radio-now.co.uk/listen_football.htm

Many clubs (like the one we support) offer LIVE broadcast commentary for free. Some, however, require a subscription. Hope this helps.

at times like this I am thankful I don't have Sky

Bengt Engel · 6th Sep 2002, 19:47

definately college on saturdays....

a shame that you have to go to o'leary's here in scandi to watch the games...they only air the january playoffs on cable.....

and finally....GO GIANTS!!!!

I must admit I won a 100 bucks on the patriots, and I didnt see that coming, won by 3 seconds if I remember correct...

ORAC · 6th Sep 2002, 19:58

Thanks McD, I'll give it a try. The BBC broadcasts are cut off at match time, I presume because Sky has the overseas broadcast rights.

In consolation, howerver, Sky have started another channel for those who don't get the sports channel: its called "The Watching Paint Dry, Interspersed with Lots Of Advertisements" channel.

American Football, eh? I can hardly contain my emotion.

Actually, I rather liked it back in the eighties when Channel 4 first showed it. I bought magazines and stuff.

Luckily I made a full recovery...
