Steelers win on the road vs hated division rival Baltimore
Cowturds not only suck, but lose at home to a much improving LA Rams
and the baseball season is over (except playoffs) Man I hate baseball.

It was a great day in my sports world!

[Thorlifter]

I can't say I disagree with any of your picks. Bills-Bengals could go either way, as could the Packer-Cowturds. I might take the Texans though. Their rookie QB is playing really well.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yeah he has been impressive for the Texans so far.

 

[Thorlifter]

Best game this week - Chiefs at Houston. This one should be good.
2nd best game - Seattle at Rams

Snooze of the week - Jets at Cleveland
Optional cure for insomnia - Chargers at Giants

 

[Thorlifter]

Steelers got stomped but the Cowidiots got their hearts ripped out. I'll take it any day of the week. Yes I'll take my team getting beat as long as it means bad things happening to Dallas. I hate them that bad.

The NFL lost two of their biggest names to broken leg and ankle respectively, JJ Watt and Odell Beckham Jr. Massive loss to the Texans and while the Giants lost their best player it really doesn't matter as they are just a terrible team and not going anywhere.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

It matters for my Fantast Team. Both players...

 

[Thorlifter]

Oh that is NOT good. But I hope you had Jacksonville's defense with Big Ben serving up 5 interceptions.

Absolutely! Jimmy G. to the 49ers! We might have found our future franchise QB!

There was a discussion about NFL football at Wembley. Some people or teams have been complaining about the grass. Apparently the grass for NFL and Association football id different. Is there anything in this or is it just losing teams moaning?

Next summer White hart Lane will be able to host NFL games which is good news all around, The NFL games at Wembley wrecked the playing surface.

I don't know any difference between the turf/pitch used on NFL Stadiums and European Football fields. Maybe a difference in how the grass is cut, such as length or direction.

Sports picthes are now a science of their own. The pitch for most premier league soccer teams is grass sown into a 50% synthetic soil and the grass is a type that allows the ball to zip across when wet, all pitches are watered before play and at half time. You can play rugby on a soccer pitch but it will cut up more quickly. You can play soccer on a rugby pitch but the bounce and speed of the ball is different. The complaints I heard about were players slipping because the grass/turf is different. The new White Hart Lane pitch will have astro turf for NFL matches which will stop the discussion (hopefully)

Interesting. I figured the like a science part though.

So much so that top groundsmen command a top salary. Real Madrid poached London Arsenals groundsman in 2009 and have hardly looked back since.
