Re: Super Bowl XLVIII
So this year I have tried to introduce my girlfriend of three years to American football. I did this initially through the medium of fantasy football, which saw her draft a team almost entirely based upon amusingly named players (Including: LeShon McCoy, DeMarco Murray, Demaryrius Thomas, Marques Co...

Re: NFL Offseason Thread
Mike Munchak has been sacked by the Titans having refused to replace Jerry Gray with Gregg Williams at DC and for refusing to sack OC Dowell Loggins. He was about to enter the last year of his contract anyway and it's a little sad to see Munchak leave the franchise after 31 years of service. The who...

Is Scotch miles more expensive in the US than the UK? Does exporting it really hammer up the price? For example, the Knockando I was drinking last night cost me about £12, 12 years ago.

American logic from a friend of mine: Easy World Cup draw for the US. We have a 100% record against Portugal in World Cups, so another win is a lock.
