It’s no coincidence that the Seahawks defensive coach is British ( Aden Durde). Comes from London

In what way is it not a coincidence? Because i'd say robust defence against the Patriots is historically not a British trait.

Niners didn't need that in their division.

Hadn't thought about it like that as a Niners fan

Looks like a pretty good deal for the Browns to me, Verse plus a first rounder and the rest gives them a really good chance to add depth.

My heart bleeds for them

 

I can fully believe how bad it is selling, too.

Back off to Denver in Dec, my mate managed to get us 2 decent seats for the game v my Dolphins. Although finally getting to see them live maybe tempered by how rubbish they are and having to possibly play in 3 feet of snow 🤣

I've just booked tickets for my lads birthday and also taking my old man who's a big fan.

 

Couldn't believe the availability and assumed it would be sold out but loads still left.

 

Paid stupid money but it's a one off and got really good seats in tier 2 behind the end zone.

Yeah last couple of seasons haven't been very good for sales due to the huge increase in costs. People have been priced out on the whole. 

 

It's a fun day out though amongst the game itself. Hope you have a good time!

I heard yesterday on a podcast I listen to that there's potentially going to be a sale of the Seahawks for $9.6 billion. The current owner bought the team for less than $200m (chump change) about 25 years ago or something.

 

The NFL is the PL on roids money wise.

 

I'm glad people are voting with their feet to some degree, but that said I understand going. I tried (and failed) to get Ravens tickets a few years ago.

Your love/hate relationship with the US and American sports culture is special 

 

You know us well, though, so whatever opinion you form is legit

I think you've nailed it with the love/hate thing mate.

 

There's so much about the US and American sports culture that I absolutely adore but equally so much I despise.

 

I'm currently watching the latest season of 'Quarterback' on Netflix and some of it has be in awe and other bits make me want to throw up.

 

I've been to the US about 10 times in my life and had the best time ever yet so much about the place makes me cringe.

 

I'm facinated by the place and in my early days was convinced I'd end up living there but then sometimes I think it's the last place I'd want to live.

 

I think about the US a lot. Maybe I was a yank in a previous life
