With this week's regular season NFL game at Wembley, I 
thought this to be a good time for my first post. I had 
contemplated the Yankees' early exit as a nice start but 
since everyone's opinion has already been voiced and 
dispersed, I'm going to let sleeping dogs lie for now. 
There will be much news out of Yankee camp the coming 
weeks, I can hear the press-mutts salivating already.
 
The Giants' resurgence has been a real uplift after all this 
baseball drama. After seeing them play those two lousy 
defensive games against Dallas and Green Bay, I thought 
they were readyfor the scrapheap. The Giants really only 
need to do two things to win a football game: play good 
defense and for Eli to have a decent (not a good) game 
with little turnovers. Of course everyone said 'they can't 
replace Tiki, Coughlin's losing it, Strahan's only in it for 
the money, they can't run, they can't pass, they can't 
defend' and yet five weeks later they're on the verge of 
being where they were last year, 6-2.
 
Let's face it. The only way the Giants lose this game is if 
they beat themselves. Which makes the fact that I can't 
go see the game in London even more depressing. 
Don't assume European NFL fans know less about the 
game than Americans. We get Total Access, NFL 
Primetime and Gameday jammed down our throats every 
day just like you. We too see four live games a week, 
know every player and hate those f*cking commercial 
breaks every five minutes.
 
But then again, sounds like Rich Eisen was right when 
he said maybe at Wembley they won't know the Dolphins 
are the league's worst, cause the real NFL fan couldn't 
buy any tickets to the game. I registered to buy tickets 
on NFL.UK over a year ago, only to get the message in 
April that the 90,000 seats had been sold in 45 
minutes. Great job guys, did people (i.e. corporations) 
buy them by the hundreds?
 
Neutral ground, neutral crowd I guess? Let's see how 
much noise there'll be on Sunday. I'll be watching.
 
LET'S GO GIANTS!
 
ps: I am going to Yankee Stadium next year before they 
tear it down, even if I have to buy tickets from a scalper.
