Not live unfortunately but will probably catch a reply of it. My interest in NFL has sort of dropped since St Louis went from "The Greatest Show on Turf" to "The Lamest Show on Turf"

4 and a half hours for a 14 minute game...

I'll probably have it on in the background during the day. Channel 10 is airing it on their normal channels as well as One sport!

Manchester United take on Portsmouth tomorrow on the 52nd anniversary of the Munich Air disaster, which saw 23 people lose their lives, including 8 Manchester United players. I'm hoping for a rampant performance against an admittedly poor Portsmouth, who are in all kinds of on and off the field trouble (sold most of their best players just to stay afloat, rumours their manager was caught in a brothel, wages not payed since October). A win would bump United up from second to first place, a position in which they'll stay unless Chelsea win against Arsenal the next day. A draw in that match would see United and Chelsea on the same amount of points, with United ahead on goal difference.

I've knocked back several offers to go out, as kickoff is at 10pm and the only strict rule I live by is never go out if there's a Manchester United game on.

And Willie Mason is gone North.

Whew, for a little while there I thought my team were going to get the waste of space!

But your waste of space only arrives in May!

Then he is likely to be selected for Origin, get taken out by Gallen and be a massive waste.

Well judging by the weekend it looks like the new interpretation of the breakdown law is meant to make teams attack more.

Can't remember te last time I saw so many tries scored in a weekend of Rugby (as well as one game; Chiefs 72- Lions 65

)
