What a fucking loser.

Imagine coming home to a worldie and not hitting it because you imagined a sky fairy telling you not to. On a team where the head coach is a 9/11 truther that is mental.

Wilson is rich and famous and handsome, and Ciara is talented and lovely and successful, and they could each have their choice of partners, unlike you, who are physically and universally unlovable. The coupling they could make together would make whatever shapeless, bleating thrusts you’re capable of look like two hefty bags settling on a curb. But that doesn’t matter because sex is merely an academic point for you to be wondered over on a theoretical level.

:lol:

This is actually very interesting given the way people are treated differentely by the media. Tebow gets one set of questions when he talks about Christianity, but nobody thought to ask Wilson if he had sex outside of marriage until now. Tebow had to deal with a national story about his sexual ethics as a 20 year old college student and Russel Wilson, who's been as openly Christian, gets to deal with the question as a mature adult.

There was an article yesterday too where he said God audibly spoke to him at the end of the Super Bowl to tell him that he was using him to see how he would react.

Bloody sure God told him to give the ball to Lynch. Everyone else did.

Moving away from a player's sex life, which honestly who gives a f**k about, what's this in reading on twitter about Tottenham Hotspur having a guaranteed two NFL games a season at their new stadium?

Bit of about in the baws for Wembley? Unless they intend to play more than 2 games in the UK.

That was my thoughts.

Spurs new ground set to hold 61,000; around 25,000 less than Wembley. Can't see the NFL cutting the number of games over here and in a smaller stadium. The BBC report has a quote about them wishing they could have held MORE here this year but couldn't due to the rugby, that could just be smoke and mirrors though.

Maybe the start of a plan to move it around the UK a bit?

How does this sit with fans in the US? Ok there isn't any difference for your armchair fan but what about the fans who go to the games? Are they happy to be losing home games every season?

Looks like this is a move that could see even more game played over here, from the NFL UK site:

In addition to the minimum of two games per year at the new Tottenham site, other NFL games may take place at different venues in the UK during the span of the 10-year agreement. The NFL has two seasons remaining on a successful arrangement with Wembley Stadium, where it has so far staged 11 games since 2007, and is optimistic that the relationship will be extended beyond 2016.

It will be interesting to see what deal, if any, gets done with Wembley from 2017 onwards. Would it be unrealistic to imagine in addition to the 2+ at Spurs, we may see Wembley continue to hold 2 or 3 per year as well? Or is the "minimum of two games per year" at Spurs just a caveat in case a deal with Wembley can't be done and New WHL hosts 3 or 4?

Yeah! Like from North London to...oh, wait...

I mean it's probably the case that it'll be in addition to Wembley since they probably cant book out much more time there with other events on, either that or it could be (as someone said already) a contingency plan in the off chance that Wembley dont want to renew the deal. Or it could just be a money thing; "hey NFL, want to give us a couple of games here and help us pay off this super expensive new stadium we've just built? Cheers"

Ha, well it would be a START at least :P The point about the money is a good one. Hopefully its a complement to the Wembley games, I've always enjoyed going to the IS games there. Still, NFL would be nice to have a reason to go to Spurs' new ground.

I'd imagine in a smaller ground they can create demand so they can jack the ticket prices up. They also won't have to work as hard to punt 30000 extra tickets for the second largest stadium in the NFL technically. Id imagine the new Spurs stadium with the artificial underneath would mean that there is less bitching about the pitch as well as being probably cheaper.
