My two boys got me a great gift for father day today, a book on the history of my beloved Philly Eagles, it'll make good reading in France in a couple of weeks time.

And the Owners want an 18 game season....

wow. If that is true.......

well that will support the growing calls in recent seasons ...

First outing for my Eagles snack helmet, which I received for my birthday!

Can't wait for the return of the NFL!

Cool, I want one :lux: ;) Maybe I will photo my old style Eagles helmet mug for you all to see! :cool:

Jets re-sign D'Brick for 6 years, $60m.

Ridiculous and a sure way to piss off not only Darrelle Revis, but the best lineman on that team Nick Mangold who is awaiting an expectation.

Ferguson is also not even a top 3 Left Tackle in the AFC East. Long, Vollmer and Light are all better than him.

We'll see how bad he is this year with Alan Faneca gone and a Rookie next to him instead

I would like to get into NFL next season. I've tried a couple of times and failed, but I'll be relying on you guys to help me out :)

It's either NFL or NBA, and although I used to play a lot of basketball, it's never been that great a sport to watch on tv imo.

I am not the biggest fan of NBA, just bores me.

I will be trying to get a frew of my mates in to NFL this year! can't wait

Welcome :hi:

A few tips;

1. ignore anything paul says
2. don't succumb to the pressure of the Philly fans
3. enjoy the banter

;) :o :p

EAGGGGGGGLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Tip 4

Pick a team to follow, by far the thing that helps the most get you into it.

Tip 5

Do fantasy football, means you'll watch out for more players know more about more teams, best way to improve your knowledge base. As the current champ it obviously means that everything I say is spot on. :)

Tip 6

Get used to being knackered at work on a Monday morning due to having been up all night watching the football.

Tip 7

Ignore everything paul says ;)

Tip 7

By Madden 2011, will help you understand more about formations and plays, as well as getting to know more players.

Absolutely loved that I knew Shonne Green scored from a Fake FB run HB toss in the play offs for the Jets, made my day :). Also helps to know the difference between a 3-4 and 4-3 defence.

You've already had that one! I disagree anyway, ignore 99% of what Paul says :p

Says the person who has agreed with me on a lot the last few weeks.

Disgraceful stuff, tut, tut.

Tip 8 - Get yourself a ticket for Wembley (Broncos @ 49ers) the atmosphere alone will get you hooked.

It's a point worth making more than once ... that's why ;)

Any credability I had on this site has gone in one post! Thanks Paul. You dobber :sob: ;) :o

Ok so I should pick a team first I guess.

I've been very technical with my selection and based my decision on if I like the look of their logo :)

Oakland Raiders stood out at first because I used to have a baseball cap with their logo when I was a child (Although they were LA Raiders then). Not too keen on the whole black kit though...

So I have decided it is between the following:

Cincinnati Bengals
Miami Dolphins
Chicago Bears

Any advice on which one I should choose? Swaying towards the Bengals

The Bungals....... :moo:

The Cleveland Browns cast-offs!!! :hi:

Still better than the other two and good to see no mention of the Cowgirls, well done sir!!!

I still think you should pick the Eagles though ;) :hi:
