    Yeah, and what is McShane's reputation? Pretty damn shoddy.

    I just can't understand why he didn't protect the ball. Nevermind protect it -- just don't slam it into the ground.

    He kinda deserved what he got ... unfortunately the team and fans don't.


    One thing that annoys me is when reaching to break the plane all it's fine if you drop it a split second later, when when you catch it you have to keep possession all the way to the ground.

    lol. "those who aren't busy with Lebannons unoffical national past time - street fighting". The lack of PC from the early days is brilliant. :pac:

    Channel 4 coverage already putting Sky to shame. Competant presenters and a superior analyist combined with a nice looking studio. And their budget must be miniscule in comparision to Sky who won't show games in HD because they don't have enough HD studios and they don't like switching between HD games and SD studio.

    Just watched the Calvin johnson TD that was waved off. Ah I couldnt see much wrong or a valid reason to wipe it off.

    NFL films is superb. How that ending of the green bay/cards happened is beyond me.Pure one in a million.

    Less of the 70's. I'm old enough to remember football on ch4 in the 80's.
    I was a skins fan back then watching the likes of Joe Theismann, Art Monk, John Riggins etc.Highlite of my weekend it was.:D

    Bedtime now unfortunately, have a feeling this will be a good game.

    Two of the franchises that dicked us Bills in the early 90s.

    I hope it's a tie and both teams' depth charts are decimated.

    Redskins were lucky on 3rd down for the Cowboys not to get called for that free shot.

    Redskins may have drafted a stud. That block to the touchline was absolute perfection.

    The presenter is about as wooden as Pat Kenny. I really like the banter on the sky panel, they genuinely seem to enjoy each other company(Nick and Kev anyway). Carlson seems fine, but these guy here doesn't seem to have much life in him. I don't know why they can't just get Carlson on sky.

    Just watched Randy's rant now. I don't see anything wrong with it at all. He is clearly pissed at the media twisting his words around to make it look like he was unhappy with the Patriots. Its quite clear he wants to be a Patriot, he thinks its his last year with us because he doesn't think he will get the contract he wants to play on. I'm not so sure about that now, Mankins not signing his tender makes it likely that he will never be in a Patriots uniform again and with a very young team right now there are not many players that would be getting big short term deals so I can see him being offered good money to remain in New England.

    The media are shocking in fairness, they said last year that he takes plays off which is not true. Its just that when the guy runs it looks like he is not moving at full speed, he is just so graceful but he played hurt last year and that shows a really tough side to the guy. I see nothing wrong with him getting that off his chest.

    Wow idiot Cowboys tried to make something of nothing right at the end of the half with the clock at 0 and they end up fumbling it and the Skins go for a touchdown. LOL.

    Oh that was funny.
    I just want Santana to make some more catches for my fantasy team then I can sleep happy.
    Also the Cowgirls losing would be good.
