The Swamp

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...

Paul Scholes montage...

Just thought I should mention that in my opinion, Scholes was a more of a creative influence within the team as opposed to a goal scorer. Which says quite a lot about his passing and vision...

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...

Yes I've seen both series of Life on Mars, actually mean to watch again.

Arresting the central Manchester pub landlord for cattle rustling was a fantastic scene

Watched Life on Mars over the weekend, loved it. Is that the UK or US version? The UK version is great and John Simm is one of our best exports UK. Have to watch the "sequel" as well, but the name eludes me at the moment. If you mean series two, then those 6 episodes are great. If you mea...

In the UK we get a different version of Netflix and it does not have 'Terriers' for some reason... £5.99 a month is amazing value though

My knowledge of music is shockingly poor!

If you had taken no.1, 9, 25 and 49 out of that list, I honestly would not have been able to tell you which was listed first, Artist or album name.

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. It is a 1987 distilled/bottled in 1999 jobbie. What would this have cost over the pond? Obviously, my bottle is 43...

This thread has made me check out my Scotch bottles and I have found a lovely 1987 Knockando... My god that is a smooth wee nip if ever there was one.

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. We have a 0% record against Ghana, so we're due for a win. We're playing Germany in a coastal city, so they'll claim all the best beach spots early i...

I would like to point out that as a Brit who watches very little NCAA football, I have a 10 game lead with 3 weeks to go, yet am 4 games behind in the NFL pick'em and was was fucked out the league in week 5 of survival (which is pretty damn good for me).

Goes to show how much luck is involved...

I'm in a big money survivor pool (winner clears $10G, about 70-some people entered). Double-elim. I didn't want to get on the Dallas train (a Vikes win will blow this pool up), so I took....fucking Tennessee, on the road. Wish me luck. Almost took Cincy but figured that the Dolphins might pull that...

Thats the Chargers' rookie LB right?

Bring on 8 weeks of twatting humbug I say... Incidentally, I have just returned from Tesco's where they already have a Christmas aisle, the money felching cunts! I love being in my 40's and being grumpy as fuck, too old to still play competitive sport and too young to sit around waiting to die. I in...

Hallowe'en is great. Seriously - nothing wrong with kids running around and having fun. Nothing wrong with people decorating their homes. Nothing wrong with women dressing in sexy outfits. Nothing wrong with a night of drunken revelry. What irritates me about Hallowe'en is the fact that once the su...

We need to swear like Brits more often. Not just in the soccer/EPL threads. FFS. I only noticed afterwards that I had sworn six or seven times (including using the 'C' word twice) before I used "feck" as opposed to "fuck", I have no idea why I did this, guilt maybe? PS I would r...

Can somebody explain the Halloween thing and its place in US culture? I imagine its has grown over many years due to the money that can be made from it (much like the way Paddy's day is celebrated)? The reason I ask, is that we, over the pond in Blighty, are now beginning to see its impact on an epi...

I think I know my boxing, have watched a lot of fights in the last 30 years, but can someone please explain the 114-114 score? I thought Floyd did some schooling this morning and was never in any kind of trouble throughout the fight. I understand that Alvarez was the aggressor, but he was pretty fru...

Big shake up coming for Oracle. Tactician John Kostecki was not on the boat yesterday for practice, and it looks like Ben Ainslie will be replacing him. Kostecki is getting killed for calling for a "foiling tack" in race 5, which killed all of Oracle's boat speed and let ETNZ take the lea...

Stupidest play I've ever seen. Fucking DeCastro. What the fuck. It angers me every time I see it. DeCastro better hope he never sees TT in the parking lot after a game. I have to admit, I found it pretty funny that the team's last OL no.1 pick spent a season recovering from a pre-season injury and ...

Tom's gonna be pissed: My 7 year old son is going through a phase at the moment where he starts every word with a 'P' when speaking. He finds it really amusing because lots of the words sound silly and he is able to introduce toilet humour to most conversations. I also enjoy his humour... Plway ps ...

Jadeveon Clowney fatigue is going to be a real thing this year I can tell. I watched a bit of this last night while waiting for the Titans Vikings game and feck me they were all over him like a rash! First they circled him, tell you he is No.7, tell you how great he is and then they followed the pl...

Deadspin piles on Pete Prisco too for a really, really stupid concussion-related column Yep, like I said a couple of days ago... This guy is on a golden streak of piss poor writing and the great thing about it (quite like the films of Michael Bay), is that he has no idea just how out of touch and p...

I don't know if this is the right thread, but I do know this does not deserve a thread of its own... In my opinion, Pete Prisco is now bigger cunt than Peter King. It is important to understand, that I am starting at a pretty base level with these cunts and that they they are both, most certainly cu...

Was too pissed off to post yesterday. I don't care if it is preseason game, fuck losing to the saints. also, I don't think i've ever hated a texans player as much as I hate kareem jackson. He does not want to see me in the parking lot at reliant. Our very own TT is going to fight a Texans player in...

Not in the same league as Shaun or Hot Fuzz, but pretty good... I don't know how all the Brit references translate across the pond, but it is worth a look.

Any money that goes through Roth in Miami is going to be dirty money. Funding the IRA will not help you long term, it might give you some links on the East coast or the old country, but long term, you are blowing your money...

Vick gets quite a lot of support from the media these days and is even seen as a role model by many people (including some players). If he gets that kind of support then so should Riley, as this is small potatoes compared to what Vick has been involved with... I am sure there are loads of examples o...
