Things that annoy you more than they should

[Niigata Jack]

Men who treat cars and bikes like they're a pet.. feeding it with oil, water and that blue stuff.. it's got no feelings FFS

I keep a nice warm blanket over my bike, it loves being nice and snug like a bug in a rug it is, loving life.

No idea how the NFL season works and calling the baseball thing the World Series.....

Actually Americans annoy me more than they should.

FAO Saint & Smurph:

The NFL season:
32 teams divided into 16 representing AFC conference and 16 representing NFC. Each conference has 4 divisions of 4 teams, generally divided by geographical location. Seasons fixtures made up of games versus your league opponents (6 games, 3 x each home and away) and 11 other games derived by an algorithm, so 17 regular season games in total.

Each division winner is guaranteed a play off spot, three other best performing teams from each conference (not division) also qualify for play offs. At this stage the route to the Super Bowl sees AFC teams play AFC teams and the same for NFC. The 1st seeded team (based on record over the 17 games) gets a bye in first round of playoffs. The remaining six teams play games based on 2nd seed versus 7th, 3rd v 6th, 4th v 5th. Winner goes through to next round where 1st seed plays lowest seed, second highest seed plays second lowest seed. Highest seed always plays at home. Second play off round is this weekend, final round next week which will confirm the conference champion and the team which represents the conference in the Super Bowl.

Irrespective of whether you have an interest, you should support the Detroit Lions

Thanks for this

How come the Detroit Lions are so popular in the UK?

I've been to watch the Jaguars at Wembley for the last few years and the amount of British fans they have sat around us has always amazed me.

I’m not sure they are TBH. You might see reference to them here as CSF is a long time fan and I’m only following because of their resurgence and the fact that I saw them live last January. Until quite recently they have been terrible, many seasons with only one or two wins, and one with zero! Never won a Super Bowl either.

Proper under dog type of story

I've got a soft spot for the Chicago Bears, after watching them on channel 4 as kid.

I can remember the Fridge and Walter Payton.

Same for me, I started with the Bears and for the same reason. Then I saw the Bills live about twenty years ago and developed a soft spot for them, then I migrated to the Titans as I was back and forth to Tennessee a lot, and now the Lions.

I’ve had a few teams

Guilty, m’lord

Back on track, I’ll give the flimsy cling film boxes which collapse when you try and tear on the serrated edge. The Lidl option is an absolute dog turd of an example.

I've got a liking for the Tennessee Titans. Been to their stadium several times, though unfortunately never to watch a game . Part of the country music festival is held at the stadium over 4 nights in early June.
