not in the shire anymore :(
I've tried watching NFL once ... had dinner at Raffles in Rydges Cronulla last week for my brother in laws 30th, and it was on there too, but I've gotta admit, I found it hard to get into.

But I'm watching the longest mile (with Adam Sandler) at the moment, it's an american remake of a movie called 'mean machine'. It's pretty funny, and the nfl action seems alright.

NFL just doesn't do it for me. Love some of the hits but at times its like watching people stand around in a bank waiting for the teller to call 'next' - too stop-start.

MLB I can't get into either.

NBA can be exciting but I prefer the street ball stuff, the AND1 mix tapes tours and stuff.

NHL I love. Don't really follow it, but I enjoy watching the Detroit Red Wings more than any other team. I can watch a game and enjoy it, but if the Red Wings are playing I find myself cheering them on, so I guess you could say they're my team.

i was under the impression the longest mile w/ adam sandler was a remake of the original 'the longest mile', which was also remade as a soccer move called 'mean machine'.

I was under the same impression. Because the bloke who was in the original 'The Longest Mile' made an appearance in the remake with Adam Sandler, if I remember rightly. Burt Reynolds, perhaps? I dunno, I'm thinking mustache for some reason, so naturally he comes to mind.

that is correct brad

Packers are going to tear them up, Greg Jennings to bag 3 TDs(maybe i went a little over the top)

NBA = Sixers
NFL = Packers

other american sports are rubbish
