Canadian fan here. I’m really looking forward to the 6-Nations and the start of the AFL Football season. I ordered my Essendon Jumper last month in anticipation.

Now, hold on a second here, Dave. I’m not sure whether you realize this, but Eli Manning is Petyon Manning’s brother.

Also, apparently there’s some sort of historical rivalry between Boston and New York?

If you stopped all the Super Bowl hype, how would I find out about fantastic angles like these? Tom Brady is dating some sort of supermodel! Did you know that?

Well Dave here in Australia the AFL Pre Season competition is certainly turning into more of a joke than it has before.
The powerhouse clubs like Collingwood and Essendon are furious at the AFL for one rule in particular (the interchange rule) where they can only have 16 interchanges per quarter.
Meaning that they can’t really control how many minutes their star players or players returning from injury play. As a result many will be happy to lose their first game and be out. On the up side at least we may see some of the youngsters a bit earlier.

With all the goings-on at Liverpool, the Havant and Waterlooville match has taken a very symbolic, theatrical nature.

If I had a camera (and accreditation), I’d shoot a documentary.
