Around the NFL Week 1

I'm French, I gotta take shot at you guys. Other wise civilisation as we know it would collapse.

Don't say it too loud, but I love fish and chips, and marmite. Irish beer is better than yours though ;)

I drink Guinness so I'm saying nothing.

Except at least we don't eat garden pests and pond life... ;)

The scene in "Casablanca" where Victor Laszlo leads the French in singing "La Marseillaise" to drown out the German soldiers singing German drinking songs is quite moving, though.

I might be the exception as Englishmen go but I don't like our anthem. Too slow and stoic. At least La Marseillaise has a good tempo. Given the choice I'd prefer Rule Brittania.

Given the choice I'd prefer Rule Brittania.La Marseillaise is a nice popular song and it can be electrifying when sung by thousands of people... but I think it doesn't even come close to the beautiful, powerful and kinda sad majesty of God Save the Queen or Flower of Scotland. The later gives me chills every time.

( Nothing like a good old food, beer and thousand years old love-hate relationship talk to move on from political talk, right ? ;) )

Back to football, lot of exciting match ups tomorrow !

Most obvious one being Bucs @ Saints division match up, TB debuts in Tampa vs a very good New Orleans team.
On paper the Saints have an impressive roster, they bulked up their secondary and should be a top NFC seed.

Quite intrigued to see how the Pats and the entire AFCEast division are going to look like too.

I think the Pats May be bad. They lost a ton of talent to FA and COVID IPR outs.

The TB/NO game ought to be awesome. Two balanced and powerful teams - and well coached.

Would love to see the Rams crush Dallas in the new stadium. I hope McVay has some tricks in store. Aaron Donald may eat up the Boys line which is a bit depleted. Not sure the Rams O can keep up though.

As is true every year, I think injuries will be key - especially with less contact in the preseason, guys may not be fully ready for the hard hits. Hope it doesn’t happen.

What's wrong with British food? :mad:

You know why the British empire spread out across the globe?

They were looking for a place to eat.

I thought I would share this non football related great story here. If you live around Baltimore and have listened to 105.7 the fan over the last 5 years you have heard of if not heard Mo Gaba. He was an amazing boy that battled life struggles in a way that touched a lot of people and pretty much every sports fan in Baltimore. Sadly he passed away in July after his 6th battle with cancer at the age of 14. Here is a great story about who he was:

At the Ravens Browns game today. They had a section of 500 cut outs of Mo called Mo's rows

Then typically they have the end zone purple with the letters for BALTIMORE in white letters. They did that but put MO in gold in honor of Mo.

Great story.

Brady and Tampa look average

KOC offense looking good.
