English bloke - The NFL probably gets better coverage in the UK though than rugby does in the US.
There are 3 live games a week on during the regular season, Sky Sports are showing every playoff game (2 last Sat and 2 on Sunday and same this weekend).
So given that the major sports broadcaster in the UK are showing the games, then it's not an unreasonable question for someone to ask of pubs that may show it. It's not going to be widely available in pubs because most customers won't want to watch it (particularly if it's opposite a football or rugby match) - but again it's not unreasonable for someone who will be in London to ask because there will be a market for it.

DW likes NFL and baseball, as do I, so we have the TV package that allows us to watch these.....however she has also picked up on English football, she doesn't watch as many games as I do, and not every game interests her but she is making the effort to learn about it because she knows how much I like it. She's also planning a BBQ/party for the England v USA world cup game!


GO SAINTS!

I don't understand this whole "America's team" about the Cowboys? Every NFL fan I've spoken to that aren't Cowboys fans hates them with a passion!

It started back in 1978 when the NFL used "America's Team" as the title of the Cowboys' highlight film.  The opening line of the film was "They appear on television so often that their faces are as familiar to the public as presidents and movie stars. They are the Dallas Cowboys, 'America's Team.'"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America's_Team

As for the hate, it's the same hate for any big successful franchise like the New York Yankees or Manchester United.  True Cowboys fans are above such petty bickering, realizing that others less fortunate are reduced to jealousy when faced with the presence of true greatness.  ;)

I just hate the Cowboys because when I started watching NFL in the early 80's when Channel 4 first started showing it I gained a liking for the Redskins who were the first team I saw.

But it was strange when i was in Philadelphia looking for merchandise and there was almost as much Cowboys stuff as Eagles.
Given the vast success of the Yankees and Man Utd over the last 20 years that dwarfs the cowboys - surely the Patriots should be America's team now!  ;D

I never heard this Cowboys "America's team" title until the other day when my boyfriend mentioned it and I said... well I don't know everything so perhaps but I have never heard them referenced that way.  Regardless, I still want a Vikings win, it has been so long since we have had a decent team, a bit of excitement is well deserved for the fans that have hung in there... though I know I'll have a knock in my belly watching the game.

agreeing with an earlier post: God I hate cricket, I'm not a big fan of baseball either but at least they don't stop for tea time and it's over in 3hours or so... yawnfest.  Trust me my next door neighbor is a huge cricket fan so I've tried to get into it for his sake but man what rubbish. aaaaand as a rugby player in college in the US (also played another sport but that's irrelevant here), have to agree, rugby is definitely not more tactical then american football... although maybe more painful especially for the head.  :P

and now: My teams out of the playoffs (boo) and I despise the JETS so I'd like very much to see a Colts/Vikings superbowl with the Viks taking it home.  8)

Lilbruiser is my new best friend, I would love to see the Vikings win it all but first we have to beat the Saints, time to knock the holy out of them.

oh and Karrit, Farve may have chocked in the past, but he sure as hell didn't last Sunday, your offensive line seemed to be the ones chocking  ;) :P 8)

Let's go Vikings, Let's go!

I think it was more than just the offensive line that  choked.   :\\\'(

Oh well, there is always next season!  [smiley=cowboy.gif]
