There's a lot of sport that I would like watch but don't have the time ... for instance I'd like to get right into ice-hockey but I'd need a spare 10-15 hours per week So I tend to just watch a few highlights packages apart from when it comes to test cricket or the MFC NFL gets a bit of my time but not as much as I'd like But how many teams can we have a genuine attachment to, with real passion? I'd say 3 but my third one floats about (Olympics, EPL, MLB, Golf, Tennis etc)

I should have said any game, any time over any number of years for all teams in any sport! haha! It works the same with penalties, infringements, frees or other adjudications All things considered, Winston had a good match given that he is deemed to be a below average, back-up QB Luck was on his side but when you get lucky, you lap it up because the bad luck is just around the corner As an aside, if Carson Wentz doesn't get injured in the year when the Eagles won the SB, do they win with Foles on the sidelines? I wonder Jordan Love out injured for the Packers but are Green Bay a better team with Willis as the QB? Again, I wonder

This song was in the closing credits of series 2, episode 9 of 'Only Murders in the Building'

In the U.S they talk about the sporting Equinox The NFL, NBA, MLB & NHL all played on the same day. You could throw in the MLS as well as the ultra popular College Football It must be nuts being a sports fan in the USA ... so many teams and so many games. Every day!

Order being restored? 🙄

Good luck!

Well 'ten Hag' getting sacked seems to have been a long time coming Almost every week there has some sort of story that he was on thin ice Man Utd reminds me of the VRC (Racing Victoria) ... not knowing what to about the free spending and successful noisy neighbour (Man City & NSW Racing) Mind you, Man City could have some big issues soon enough what with the investigation re their true & accurate financial situation And for what it's worth, the head of NSW Racing (Peter V'landys) is a true visionary with bucket loads of money at his disposal

Ha ha! The yanks should get it right with their stats as what we see doesn't present the right picture Especially the dropped catch howlers!! Where as Baseball goes the other way. The stats in that sport are almost too meticulous!

Dropped catches should be a stat ... as should non-attempts!! I'm damn sure the coaches would keep stats for those sorts of misses

The focus should always be on the whole game For instance, years ago a team was seemingly gifted a SB berth on the back of a bad call right at the end of the NFC Championship game But that same team copped a couple of bad calls in the first half

Yeah sure and that dropped catch draws the focus ... but I see numerous dropped catches in every game They are like free kicks in footy As an aside, are there ever any holding calls on a hail-mary?

Eric ten Hag sacked!! Ruud van Histelrooy interim manager

With a 2nd string QB (Jameis Winston) ... but to be fair to Jameis, he had a fine game throwing 334 yards and 3 TD's (no interceptions) The Eagles look to be back in form as well Quite a few talking points in the NFC with Washington & Green Bay continuing to win (Love injured again but Malik Willis is a ready replacement) Although, Detroit are likely division winners in the NFC North ... Vikes, Packers and maybe the Bears playing for wild-card spots And any of the 4 teams in the NFC West could win that division with the Rams & Niners getting their starters back Atlanta have a great chance to win the NFC South with their next month to tell a story

@hardtack @Ethan Tremblay Must have a look at 'For all Mankind', 'The Boys' and revisit 'Silo' Got to the end of season 1 of 'Dark Matter' & 'Severance. Both 4/5 stars with Dark Matter slightly ahead But Severance is highly intriguing and less transparent than Dark Matter Both shows are set for at least 1 more series. Top notch sci-fi As for 'The Penguin' ... simply superb The best Drama I've seen this year. 4 episodes in But only 4 eps left as it's a mini-series. There again, the show is so popular that the Producers may find a way to extend the show! Or maybe some kind of spin-off?
