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

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.

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

However, if you claim that Tampa is a football town, in the sense that Green Bay, NYC, washington or Dallas is, then no.
And count me in for a fantasy football league... I may be a newbie but I'm planning on sticking around for a while.

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!

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.
