    Alas no

    And if so, your opinion of it .

    Apart from proper football (come on you Hammers!!!) I don't have very much interest in other sports,sorry

    I will though say that of all the sports I've ever seen on TV, cricket is by far the most boring

    ----------
    For some reason it's wildly popular in Guyana, and since we have a
    large population of Guyanese immigrants and their descendants here in
    Queens, you can see cricket being played in many of our parks. I can't
    make heads or tails out of it, myself, but I can't make heads or tails
    out of American football either.

    So you must be lost even at the coin toss.

    Very punny, Steverino. But also true.

    Why are you asking, Steve?

    One could interpret your question as suggesting American football
    is not as good as it once was. (a neutral unbiased remark by me)

    I was just curious. And you couldn't be farther from the truth, as I'm currently watching the Niners crush the Cowboys, 28-10.

    I noticed the TV here yesterday carried a report on the teams UK tour mentioning the Bills male head honcho and their female lead counsel have both been sacked because they appeared to be ....um....getting it on....rather too brazenly for public
    consumption
