Anyone help me from across the pond pay my respect?

Good stuff, that should be awesome. I kinda feel bad for making no effort to see a game last year when fedex is 30 mins away from me.

who are we playing? the lions from de'troit?

Yes there are fans of both aplenty in the uk

I think that the NFL should stop force feeding our brand of football down the throats of the Brits, everytime a game is played over there American fans are deprived of going to that game...it's just greed.

Mate, I'm a Scot living in England my fellow redskin fans going to Wembley have been waiting the best part of 40 years for this opportunity.

Tell you what, why don't you tune in and see the sea of burgundy and gold and then come back on here and comment.

i was being sarcastic in that someone was calling others "greedy" bc every single game wasnt played exactly where they wanted it .... and i thought brits would appreciate my dry dead pan sense of humor. the failure is on my end, ive been told many times that i am not as funny as i think i am.

--------------

256 - the total number of reg season NFL games.

They were talking on 980 the other day about how many Skins fans there are in the UK. Supposedly Super Bowl XVII (Skins-Dolphins) was the first SB televised in the UK, so many brits took on the Skins as their team of choice.

Any fan who has hung around since 1982 through 20+ years of futility is more than welcome in my books.

They are spot on, Nicky Horne who turned out to be a rabid redskin introduced the show and led off by saying Miami where the uk equivalent of 14/1 on to win.

Me and my Celtic leanings thought right, I'm with the little guy here, and a love was born.

Three workmates going share similar stories.
