Was looking for the Rugby World Cup 95 game on the mega drive but couldn't find it. So I opted for the next best thing, Madden. Played it for a year or so then slowly started to get into watching it around the turn of the millennium. St Louis were on every week and were playing some superb stuff and as such became my team.

Got into it through Madden as well. Madden '03 IIRC, chose the Raiders as my first franchise team on it, and stuck with them ever since.

Now playing BUAFL, the best uni league outside the US.

I have stuck Tony Gonzalez in both my fantasy teams, I know hes playing a great D and both my other TE`s are predicted better scores(by some way) but hes too good to drop and normally has a big game when hes on my bench.

So whoever has Aaron Hernandez and Marcedes Lewis in other leagues stick them in your line-up they are guaranteed big points this week

LaGarrette Blunt v the Panthers or Thomas Jones v Denver

Keller & Hernandez my TE's it isn't fair both are good but I can't play both and have crap WR's to boot!

Also got into it through Madden on the Mega Drive. Don't really get much chance to watch it since I don't have Sky, had a passing interest in it. Then last year I had a go at fantasy football which got me watching the highlights on NFL.com (best sports website ever btw) and I fluked my way to first place before crashing out in the first round of the playoffs.
Before the Super Bowl last year, all of those without a team already drew a random team out of a hat (well a mini helmet) and I got the Texans.

I'd like to suggest this as the best Sports website ever. My quick midseason awards: MVP: Rivers OPOY: Manning DPOY: Matthews OROY: Bradford DROY: Suh Coach: Tomlin/Cable Comeback: Mike Williams/Shawn Andrews

Through Channel 4 when they started showing it which shows how old I am.

Roddy White = massive legend, so very very glad I took him in the early rounds of the draft in the RFL Fans league.

I've got him in my other league but benched him as he was "doubtful" to start last night
I have got Brandon Lloyd, Hakeem Nicks and Dwayne Bowe as my starting WRs in that league though.

An excellent win for the Falcons last night. Does this go to prove they are the real deal for this season, especially if they can get home field advantage?

I didn't see the game, but that is a mighty impressive result for them. Matt Ryan is a class act, and to think when he was drafted a lot of people were doubting him. Fair play to Mike Mayock who stuck his colours to the mast early and was spot on.

I hope they do well for Smith. He has done an outstanding job there. Baltimore haven't wowed me yet this season. They've done the simple things well but have shown nothing that really shows them up as contenders.

They could struggle against our pass rush and limited T.O.P.
