Spectator Fest
This weekend I managed to watch football (Derby) and rugby (Nottingham) ‘live’, in the flesh and then watched a few games (parts of all four) NFL play-off games.
The rugby was really fun, although I expect the openness at National Division 1 or whatever it is comes from teams not being quite as good as their International counterparts.
Football was, again, frustrating. I can’t gather the energy to write about it, which makes things worse. Possibly the highlight was having a pre-match Starbucks which makes a change from a pint!
The American football was good though. Brett Favre was great, Brady better, the Chargers beat the Colts and then the Giants beat the Cowboys. Not many people picked that combination.
So we move on to next week and the Conference Championship Games.
Giants v Packers and Chargers @ New England. Sounds like a lot of fun and here’s hoping that the Bolts can deliver the knock out blow to the Patriots.
That would make me very happy!
