    As the NFL isn't a main stream sport with large groups of fans in Ireland, I was wondering how you watch your NFL?

    Friends over? Mini TailGates? Solitary confinement?

    Personally, I like to chill out Marley style, pack the missus off to watch the XFactor results, record the first hour of each game (so i can forward the ads) and just let the magic begin.

    Have to say, I miss Madden's commentary though.

    I miss Madden aswell, at least we have the video games.
    I record the games and watch the Patriots games over the internet that way I get a few games each week. Most ppl just don't see the attraction and think I'm wasting my time on a stupid sport.

    I think everyone misses Madden but Collinsworth has been outstanding. Really sharp analysis.

    I sky + the first hour of each game and then start watching. None of my friends or family have any interest in NFL, so i tend to go it alone.

    If i have no interest in the live games only then will i resort to streams.

    I am fed up of Collinsworth already. The man I love listening to now is John Gruden, the best commentator doing the NFL right now imo.

    I like Phil Simms also.

    Watch all Raider games online, If I can't get a stream I follow it on nfl.com game center.

    Usually just try and get the best stream I can for the 49ers game. Failing that I'd either look at Gamecenter or listen to it on KNBR.

    I watch it whenever I can (College hampers the season for me)
    Whenever watching it on Sky Sports, I watch it with my brother. :)

    Gamepass for every Charger game live unless it is on in the middle of the nite. If that is the case I watch it next day without knowing the score.
