Pittsburgh Steelers are coming to Dublin. The Rooneys have been choking for that to happen for years now.

Opponents are the Vikings - Sept 28th - Week 4 of the season.

It'll be a full house either way, but I thought it would have been the Packers

Vikings must be spending a week or two over here. The following Sunday they're in London against the Browns.

Tatum potentially tore his Achilles last night

As a vikings fan I am delighted with the news.  Now just need to secure a ticket

Knicks might win the series after all

Watching the Pacers in the Playoffs this year has been such fun. They are a great team to watch and have a very unique style. Siakam immense all year and his experience is really helping them. Hali with another game winner - unreal. Still reckon OKC will win it out, but stealing Game 1 on the road makes it interesting.

Aaron Rodgers to the Steelers. Fancied a trip to Dublin.

Do you think he has much left in him? 41 now. Probably depends on how well they protect him. Was never the best on his feet but if he gets time in the pocket he could still do well probably.

DK is a good target for him.  I doubt they will break much delph though. Probably go 9-8 again

If by "never the best on his feet" you mean he was never Lamar, then yes, you'd be correct, but he always a very effective scrambler and could pick up crucial first downs running. He was exceptional at throwing on the run as well.

Rodgers was one of the very best in my years watching NFL. He's not that modern style of QB though where they've probably got 20 plays designed specifically for them to run. Because of that, even at 41 he could still be effective whereas the QB's built on running won't last that long.

I've got two tickets to the College game on 23rd August in Dublin - willing to do a very good deal on them if anyone is interested. 

[Capt Pat]

There goes my hopes of getting tickets to the vikings steelers game. 140,000 in the queue ahead of me.

I know there are at least 500,000 in the queue.

[Onthe40]

406,102 - so your ahead of me
usual shams
half the tickets probably gone before the sale opened
