boohyah Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I was just curious, you and I and even Rik had remembered the old Channel 4 highlights show back in the 80's. I was listening to the Football Today podcast from yesterday and it seems they are having some sort of fanfest tomorrow in London for the game on Sunday ( you going?). Anyway, the guy from Sky Sports was saying that Sky is showing the Thursday game and also a 1pm and 4pm game every week. He also said that the Sunday night game and Monday game are also on Tv but on other channels. I was actually surprised there was that much coverage. How true is that? Secondly, there's going to be 2 games in London next year and the Jags have a home game there now for the next 4. You think you might go to those games perhaps to get your fix?. And what's the buzz like about the possibility that all this is leading to a franchise in London, something which some of the owners are pushing for including Bob Kraft. Just getting your perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanishGiant Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 i became a fan in 89 90 when the started broadcasting nfl here in Denmark, the Giants had a sick sick LB wearing number 56 ( had no idea about he´s off field problems at the time only found out years later when i got internet) i remember sneaking up to watch the Giants bills superbowl, one of the most thrilling games ive ever seen, i was hooked after that. we where 6 guys that started playing in a club not far from where we grew up Roskilde kings was the clubs name, some of us helped them win the Danish championship a few times also made it to play on the junior national team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit used to get me pumped up every week. But yeah, used to be a big treat every superbowl to get to stay up till 4 in the morning on a school night. Ever go to wembely for the games not involving the giants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( better than following Liverpool FC anyway !!! ) They have a show on fox soccer channel these days called "being Liverpool", which follows the club throught the Brendan Rodgers transition, and not being bias, but it's not doing them any favors IMO. I'm just curious about it, just listening to the guy yesterday I was surprised the coverage was that good, and you figure with the Giants, they'd be pretty much covered every weekend on one of those shows.
