I'll be watching and trying stay awake as I'm a Cowboy fan and have been since 83 when I started listening to it on the radio lol. Really would be great to play in the Superbowl this year at the home stadium - doubt it though somehow.

Redskins fan since the superbowl year of 83 (superbowl 17) (82 was the year of the first Ch4 coverage). McNabb and Shanahans first game so should be interesting

Can't believe McNabb left Philly! I doubt any QB or player put more heart and soul into that team than him. Hope you loose though hehe. I must have started about 82 because I was listening to the Armed Forces Network so I could hear the Dallas games. I won one of the competitions on the show and still have it on tape pmsl.

Eagles fan here..
I cant wait to catch some of their games..

McNabb gone I wonder if Michael Vick is going to step up to the plate..
the eagles have always gone with QBs willing to rush..

Great full-back but can you compare him to Emmitt Smith? He was awesome - if it wasn't for the salary cap the Cowboys with Smith, Aikman, Irvin, Sanders etc etc would have dominated for a few more years I believe. Great team and some great Superbowl wins too.

Go Pack Go!

Mrs Grips is from Wisconsin so I've acquired Packers support. I hope the coverage is better this year than it was last on Sky. We used to get four matches on Sunday and another four on Monday, then it went to just one Sunday and one Monday. Must've seen one or two Packers games last year 🙁

different era's really, emmit was so much more an all round back, great catcher of the ball too, riggins was just a slugger

and great news CH4 has immlach and Carlson! (probably no "ask Mike" though)

Mrsgrips is a cheesehead? cool!

We've got 2 games on Sky, 1 on Ch4 and I think ESPN are doing Monday night games - a proper fest of NFL. Cowboys are on again next week too 😀 but being honest I watch all of them as I like any good matches.

Mrsgrips is a cheesehead?

Absolutely. If she gets too warm her head starts to go soft because of the high cheese content.

Sky used to have two games on at the same time accessible via the red button. So check if any of the other channels are doing this...
