I really enjoy watching NFL, I can't wait till it starts up again. Nothing like stretching out on the sofa on a sunday afternoon, with a big bowl of chicken wings or tex-mex, whilst slurping down some camals piss (coors light!).

I played rugby more than footie growing up, so I don't miss english footie much at all.

I was flicking through the channels last night and they had a right couple of spanners commentating on Fulham V Blackburn, it was so bloody annoying, something called fanzone I think.

CAM ON YOU COWBOYS !!! watch out....tuna's about:D

I'd have to disagree with that one. The Bucs have been huge here since I moved here in '99. Obviously the level of support went a huge step further with the '02 Superbowl win. It's probably because the Bucs were the best team Tampa had for any sport (except the AFL's Storm, but Arena football's never been that popular). Now we've got the Stanley Cup winners the Lightning as well. Too bad that the Devil Rays are still a load of pants... I'm not a baseball fan anyway. :D
Ok, so my two years were probably a little bit of a stretch, as there were the two NFC championship years before they shipped out Dungy and brought in Gruden. However, if you claim that Tampa is a football town, in the sense that Green Bay, NYC, washington or Dallas is, then no. There is too many years of bright orange shirts, poor records and even poorer players to rule that out. It will be interesting to see if Gruden can turn around last years mess now that the core players from the 2002 super bowl season have gone. Carolina are the team to beat in that division now.

P.S. The defending expats fantasy football champ(ME) is ready to start another league and defend his crown, if anybody else is interested ?.

Well, OK, maybe Tampa isn't such a football town, I guess I just meant that it has a reasonably popular NFL team. Probably wouldn't be nearly as popular if they still had the orange strips!

And count me in for a fantasy football league... I may be a newbie but I'm planning on sticking around for a while. :D

I'll give it a try too..... My small amont of knowledge could prove to be dangerous.

I'll try to set up the league tonight when I get home from work. We will need at least 8 to 10 teams to make it worthwhile. You will all need a yahoo username to enter the free yahoo league.
