How about some predictions?

Not expecting a great deal from the Cowboys this season. A record of 8-8 would be realistic.

Hmm....

Fair Enough.
 
I'm going to the Broncos - Steelers game on Sunday. Just heard I got tickets. Good times!
 
We've binned off Angelo at last. Might get some decent personnel decisions now. Like signing up Matt fucking Forte pronto. Almost looking forward to the draft.
 
Heard this on the radio earlier... would be good to have a brit to follow... other than "kickers".
Francis Kallon has only been playing American football for a few months and is still learning the rules.

But that hasn't stopped the 17-year-old from becoming the most talked about young player in the US.

He's had more than a dozen offers from universities across America to join their teams after playing the game for the first time last spring.

Now the 6ft 6in (1.98m) teenager is tipped as a future star of the National Football League (NFL).

To find someone with so much talent who's never played the game before is rare

Todd Wofford
Coach
Francis moved from London to Lawrenceville, Georgia, last year with his family.

When he started at his local school he says he had no interest in trying out American football

"I didn't even know what American football was about," he admits.

"I'd seen it before on the TV but I would just switch it off."

Francis was first spotted in the gym at Central Gwinnet High by school coach, Todd Wofford, who believed the teenager had the potential to be a useful player for his team.

"I watched him playing soccer and he was phenomenal. His footwork was great and he was so tall and strong," says the coach.

'Something special'
It took the coach several months to persuade Francis to give the game a try but he says it was worth the wait.

"I looked at my assistant and said, 'I think we just might have something here.'"

Francis didn't know what American football was about a few months ago
"Anybody can look at him and see he is something," says Todd. "He has as much potential as anyone I've ever seen - or more."

Within weeks Francis had been spotted by scouts across the US and was offered 13 scholarships.

Playing college football, as it's known, is a big deal in the US.

Games are televised and played in stadiums with as many as 80,000 spectators.

Francis says he's likely to study in Georgia so he can be close to his family, but after that the next step is the NFL - one of the highest-paid leagues in the world.

"My goal is to focus on doing what I've been doing and getting better," he sayd. "And if the NFL comes I'll take it."

It's a step Francis's coach believes will happen.

"To find someone with so much talent who's never played the game before is rare," he says.

"There are guys who've played the game for years who'll never be as good as he is after just a few months."

There was quite a bit of attention on him as he committed to Georgia Tech over the summer but then several other SEC schools, including Auburn, continued to recruit him pretty aggressively. As far as I know he's still committed to GT. He lives in Lawrenceville, so maybe he wanted to stay in state (and Georgia don't seem to have offered on him). People are comparing him to Jason Pierre-Paul, although I think that's mostly a physical thing (six five, 250lbs, defensive end). He's playing the real deal in the SEC. Those are the best defenses in 1A by a mile.

We already have a Brit if you want to cheer for one though. Tom Wort plays linebacker for the Sooners. Came up with an interception at the end of the Insight Bowl last week against Iowa that basically ended the game. He had a big game against Florida State earlier in the season too, coming up with a red zone pick of EJ Manuel and registering a couple of sacks. He's a sophomore right now, so will be back at Norman next year, but looks a cert to be drafted after that.

JJ will be pleased to know I think the Saints will hammer us. I'm just delighted to be here though!

Not sure how pleased I really am to know you're tipping us, mate. 😉
 
I remember hearing he was still playing NFL well into his 40's, but I guess that was a while ago now. I loved San Francisco when they were good, back when it was on channel 4.

So did I, that's why I'm supporting them now.
 
Predictions for the Wild Card Round ?

I'm taking Denver to beat the Steelers. The Steelers are excellent at defending the pass, but Tebow can't pass so one of their biggest strengths won't be a factor in the game. With Mendenhall out and Big Ben hobbled things don't look good for them. I haven't even mentioned the fact that God won't want them to win yet.

I'd still support them now too, but don't really follow it. Funny when I hear about teams like the patriots being the best, because they were always really shit back in the 80s and 90s.

They haven't won anything since they were caught cheating, funnily enough.
