1. Yes a QB will be called a QB; although some do come across in interviews as a bit of a ‘tosser’ 😉
2. Sounds good to me; although Redcoats is a little old fashioned and the Royal Marines & Special Forces are now more commonly referred to as ‘Ard Basterds …
3. We already have American commentators for the games; it’s only the pre/post guys who are British.
4. Fair enough. Covered for free by the NHS.
5. Would prefer a kicker from Rugby League/Union as at least their goals are a similar shape. As for how the Rugby players would stack up …. http://youtu.be/F1A06stpydY
6. Aww, but the White House looks so much prettier now ;-). To be honest, most Brits wouldn’t even know that happened.
7. What all of them? Can’t we just watch the good ones?
8. “we get that you’re pretty dead set on what you consider “football””; Yeah … as is the rest of the world 😀
9. Fair enough. They do at the moment anyway.
10. Have to decline on that one. Hobgoblin, Brewdog Punk IPA or Guinness; although to keep it American Flying Dog, Odell or Sierra Nevada would be acceptable.
11. & 16. losing season and Jags go hand in hand, but a team is better than no team.
12. Most of the games in the UK kick off at 1800 GMT (so 1300-1400 EST) how’s that for a compromise. 🙂
13. Wembley sells Nachos!!
14. Now that is just plain evil!!!
15. Jack Crawford (Current Cowboys, Raider 2012-13), Menelik Watson (Raiders 2013 – Present), Osi Umenyiora (Falcons 2013 – Present, Giants 2003-2012), Shaun Smith (Panthers 2008 – Present). That’s just the current ones, but there have been Brits playing in the NFL since the 70’s.
