I hope channel 5 get them again even though the presenter knows as much about the NFL as DamoLeeds knows about working!

Channel 5s been knocked on the head I think. Which is a shame. Nat Coombs wasn't everyones cup of tea but he was giving it a go and trying to learn the game. Mike Carlson is a legend. I'm thinking of getting ESPN. Is it much cop?

I wonder if we'll make it 3 seasons in a row without a TV game...?

Doesn't bother me though, I can't watch on Gamepass if we're on Sky anyway

Unless we do the impossible and win a few games early we will go without again I suspect.

I didnt realise it had been that long since you have been on!

Saying that the last game I remember you being on was probably longer than that when you blew a 28? point lead against the Colts IIRC

You were definately 20 something points up early anyway!

Yeah, I remember that - was 5 years ago

We were also on against Dallas in the final game of the season in a dead rubber game after they had been eliminated from the playoff hunt due to the results in the earlier games. I think we've been on TV possibly 3 times since that season; once against Seattle on the red button, Chicago on a Monday night and also on a Thursday night game against Pittsburgh 3 years back (the last time we were on British television). Other than that I can't remember any others so that's about 4 times, maybe 5 or 6 if you include any I've forgotten, that we've been on telvision in the last 5 seasons. A number of teams will be on tv that many times this year alone. Just goes to show how bad this team has been and how far it's fallen over the last few years. Hopefully Spags is on the way to building us a decent team again

It's great, not just for life sport like football and baseball but also the regular shows like Around the Horn, Jim Rome is Burning and Pardon the Interuption. They also show a weekly documentary film, and a lot of these are really interesting. The one last week was about how Mandela inspired the Springboks in 1995 and was very well put together.
