A big letter 'L' will look a bit lonely on its own (apart from being the internationally recognised sign for 'loser') so what's the betting they decide Roman numerals are so last year and just go with a '50' instead.

What odds would you like?

I'm hoping to get to the Jets@Dolphins game this year. No particular devotions, just an excuse for some Flash Gordon cosplay!

It was a great event. Though the build up on sky could have done without. All fair and good when they are showing Americas game, old classics etc, but when they show people talking up the upcoming game for 12 hrs it's a snore fest. After all it's all just conjecture and opinion.
I think unfortunately you are more likely to get the offensive co-ordinator. Get the feeling he could be available after that game ending call.
Amazing game considering it was a total stale mate at the end of the first quarter.

Second best part of the Superbowl for me

NFL Hall of Fame defensive tackle Warren Sapp was arrested Monday morning for allegedly soliciting a prostitute in Phoenix.

Warren aged 42, was in Phoenix as part of NFL Network's team to cover Super Bowl XLIX

very funny video of Hollywood stars Chris Pratt (a seattle seahawks fan) and Chris evans (a New England Patriots fan) photoboming new England and Seattle fans on the tonight show with jimmy fallon

Nfl free agency starts at 8pm this evening UK time, let the merry go round begin

Falcons haven't signed anyone that is going to set the headlines alight but at least Quinn is starting to plug some of the (many) gaps. Actually really looking forward to the draft and new season, I'm interested in what Quinn and an almost completely new coaching staff do with the team

Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez has been found guilt of 1st degree murder of one time friend Odin Lloyd. .
He was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.

As a player he had a $40 million pro-football contract.

Seems reading reports Hernandez was into guns, gangs general badness. Managed to wriggle out of numerous shootings and gangland fun. Just desserts methinks.

the nfl fixtures for the 2015/16 season are out now. so ill start the 2015/2016 thread. no point chatting in this one now
