Praise For Sky? What?!

NFL Total Access

I'm gonna have to do it - praise Sky two updates running!

This years NFL coverage was by far the best - it's been really good for many year now but with 5 games available on any Sunday and also the Monday night games it's covered everything.

Kevin Cadle and Nick Halling do a grand job - even if Halling clearly hates the Cowboys and especially T.O.

The best addition though has been NFL Total Access which they screen the day after it's shown in the States. In past years you'd have to rely on Fanzines before the internet - now there's a show with the latest news, interviews and highlights.



It's still running now though surely they may struggle to fill the time with the season finished! You can only talk about the draft for so long.

So another season over - we saw the first NFL regular season game at Wembley in October and witnessed the worst team (The Miami Dolphins) and also as it turned out the best (New York Giants) in the pouring rain.

...and it's another Miami Dolphins....defeat.

The Cowboys choked again when it really mattered having been excellent for most of their 13-3 season. They lost badly to the eventual Superbowl Champs New York in a pretty dismal showing. They really should be knocking at the door next season. Dallas took 13 players to The Pro Bowl and the Giants only one - maybe suggesting the Giants are a better team than one of individuals?

It's only 6 months away!
