    I did think of getting an American footy for the winners to sign and keep for the year But getting people together is problematical ... maybe Crown on a Sunday during the playoffs? Week 2 of the playoffs Bring a mate or 2? I've got 3 or 4 mates who have a keen interest in the NFL

    Really feel that cricket is missing the boat re the Champions Trophy The 8 best performed International ODI teams playing for a major trophy, but only available on Amazon/Prime! The excuse given was that free-to-air and Foxtel didn't bid for the tournament? Alternatively, money from the highest bidder won out?
  3. Well there's a film that has escaped me! Angel Heart (for the benefit of others) Looks a goodin' too with Rourke & De Niro
  4. Ha ha! Age! Trim the goatie and add a splash of streaky light colour and you'll be the veritable devil (Demon)
  5. Yep, you look better bald, hardtack! And younger too! Late 50's, early 60's look!

    I might add, @Gorgoroth The new regular season tipping comp points system, designed by you !! Next year will be the 13th NFL tipping comp ... time flies hey!! Now for the footy season and the Mighty Demons! (I'm quietly confident we will at least play finals because if our list stays relatively healthy, we should get to at least 13 wins)
  7. Keep up the good fight, @hardtack Our thoughts and prayers are with you always 🙏 ❤️

    It was all a bit anticlimactic (a bit like the actual SB!) but nevertheless, someone had to win the post season comp More importantly, the regular season comp worked well with the changes in the points system ... kept everyone interested throughout, which is what we wanted

    Our weak spot is taking marks in the hot spot. Because of that, our forward forays are often via the cape

    Alternatively Johnson plays FF with JVR at CHF Turner the 3rd tall when needed In some ways the CHF position is more important than the FF position JVR has done ok when previously playing CHF and Johnson's role could be to add a physical presence (from the front position) Bringing the ball to ground for the crumbers (whilst taking the odd grab) We'll know more after the practice match and the match simulation

    Effevtive immediately - 3 month ban for Jannik Sinner which allows him to play in the next Slam (French Open) WADA has formerly withdrawn it's appeal to CAS. Seems a fair result, all things considered

    Josh Allen wins NFL MVP Lamar Jackson a close up 2nd Saquan Barkley a long way back in 3rd spot. Yet his season definitely rivals Adrain Peterson & LaDanuan Tomlinson (who both won the award as RB's) Could he have played any better? Averaging 142.7 yards per game He's the main reason the Eagles got to the SB (in my view)

    The Eagles flew under the radar a trifle too ... Detroit & the NFC North, The Bills, Chiefs & Ravens in the AFC were often the main talking points The final real pointer was the Eagles demolishing the up & coming Washington in the NFC Championship And KC's luck ran out after so many narrow wins But hey, isn't hindsight a wonderful thing!!

    Donald Rumsford-like, layz Not-noticed important players (the OL), barely noticed important people (the DL) and always noticed important persons (QB's, RB's, Andy Reid)
