sh***ing a brick there last few mins tbh

had very small bets on overs and bronco's +7.5 outright, but then said fuck it and bronco's straight win to join bbv bandwagon. here we go bronco's here we go


Edit... I know Bronco's get it first and all, but almost 3/1 pre game, and now favourites. Yikes

[ghostface]

About to be some serious JUSTICE dispensed here

lol, justice wasn't done in this game. Great comeback from Steelers but should never had the chance. Tebow been excellent, Ben recovered after a shaky first half. Epic game

[D3kka]

Nice but not my bet....

[NewApproach]

OMT

[Kayroo]

Unreal game. What an ending!

[Zod]

makes up for that dodgy Steelers TD where the refs basically just gave them 7 points.

[The C Kid]

[ghostface]

I'm gonna say it. Tebow did alright there but Thomas was immense!!

[one ill cat]

Tebow . . . wow

[Zod]

I'm gonna say it. Tebow did alright there but Thomas was immense!!

thomas, McGahee, royal did immense work all game.

[DeadParrot]

1st play of overtime!!

[The C Kid]

[oleras]

FFF....dumpted the account.....

[Kayroo]

Broncos were pure class both sides of the ball. Defensively need to be on it next week against Brady but they set a great bar tonight.

[LuckyLloyd]

Oh my god. The most entertaining sport, every year.

[The C Kid]

Best sporting moment of 2012 and it's only January 8th.

Unreal.

This.

[oleras]

Overs monies is on lakers, which will in turn go on Arsenal -2 tomorrow....all good.

[Kenny]

First game i ever watched, thought it was amazing, picked up alot of the rules but still obv quite a bit i dont fully understand, nice to have a new sport i can get in to now!!

[ArmaniJeans]

Still don't understand Pittsburg not going for the 65 yard field goal with 3 seconds left in regular play, the downside has to be very very minimal surely. And the upside huge?

[Opr]

Only watched the last 10 minutes but this was in my twitter feed.

Tebow passed for 316 yards. Coincidence?

[Sledgejammer]

Oh my god. The most entertaining sport, every year.

As someone who's gone from a more casual viewer over the last few years, I'm completely hooked this year. It is the nut sport. I didn't even watch the Catalan derby earlier. I'm still a total n00b, and have a long ways to go before I can critically 'analyse' the plays or fully understand what each player is doing and bringing to the team, and who's doing it better or worse than others, but as a pure spectator sport it is unbelievable, nothing matches it. I can see it easily becoming by far my favourite sport as I become more knowledgeable about it over time. There's alot of 'barriers to entry' for someone who's never seen it before, but everyone should give it a chance. It just constantly delivers.

Another year of Tebow as Broncos QB, thank you lord Tebow!

Because their medium strenght legged kicker was never going to make the largest field goal in NFL history and it risk it being blocked and returned or this happening.

[oleras]

Bed time, lets go Lakers, wine since 6, ran out, goose and red bull....i know....nite suckers.

[Silver-Tiger]

thomas, McGahee, royal did immense work all game.

He had 2 fumbles and mediokre yardage. Poor game from Willis.

Cheers, never seen anything like that. I thought when they miss they just drift to the left/right into the crowd.

Anyway good as that was I'm back to cheering on my beloved New England Patriots next week.
The descendants of the brave Christians souls who sailed on the Mayflower to Plymouth Rock in 1620 and founded the worlds greatest country will be treated as equals with Tebow before God.

Be glad you didn't watch the 1st game of the night

[mdoug]

On some tennis player called paire for a sweat, he was 1.35 pre game and went out to 2.5 after losing the first set, good fun for next hour or so

[The C Kid]

Only sporting event since Tiger's 2008 US Open play-off making putt where I've physically jumped up and ran around the room screaming when by myself.

Unreal.

Is one of the Tebow things that he is a good white player in a league that's about 70 percent black players? Like is he statistically as good as the support suggests, or is it that advertisers know they'll be able to sell more products with a great white hope and are hyping him up accordingly?

He's the son of God. Nothing else matters.

[Four of a Kind]

There is a lot of competition these days so its best to use a provider that can guarantee you a position when your done. It would be very difficult to get a job by just showing up to a local school and saying how about it.

Regarding the CELTA/TEFL course, I did a bit of digging lately into them. I would like to do a course but would only consider CELTA as its internationally recognized, whereas TEFL isn't as good. I did some basic english teaching while volunteering in East Africa for 3 months and had zero experience, so doing a proper course down the line and having it under the belt is something I want to do.

The CELTA course cost circa €1,500 for 4/5 weeks iirc and basically takes over your life for the duration...due to the sheer volume and workload your expected to do. Its meant to be a very tough course, but once you pass you've a worthwhile qualification accredited to your name.

A friend of mine did a weekend TEFL course and had to accompany it with a 80 hour(or something like that) online course. There no actual teaching training in the TEFL whereas CELTA has you in front of a few students on day 1!

Anyways, that my rant on the subject. As recommended already by others, take the CELTA if you have the money/time Threasa as its the best one by a long way.

No idea tbh, just was reading something about white players earning more from endorsements than their skill level would suggest.

a lot of great QBs are white which makes them more popular among fans being most important man on the field = more endorsements.

However Tebow, well hes the messiah

[Jibzzzz]

The tebow thing, for people who have never watched nfl or seen very little; he's actually terrible, so bad it became a joke and it's just snowballed from there. I find it a little annoying tbh, but it is sometimes funny, I guess.

[mdoug]

I love poker

[max_power]

I'd say some of the Tebow hype is to do with the fact he has a funny name.

This is coming from someone with little or no interest or knowledge of the sport, it just sounds cool.

Like if his name was John Smith people on forums and stuff the world over wouldn't have as much fun writing Johhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnn Smmmmmmmmmmitttttttttttttttthhhhhhhh as Tebbbbbbbbbboooooooooooooooooooowwwww.

Tebow . . . wow

Oh Cat! I really hope this is Rob posting on your account. You aren't watching that yankie dribble???

When I was growing up my neighbour was totally obsessed and used to dress up in the gear etc. My irritation has grown somewhat over the last while with the constant talk of it.

Ok guys, back to normality not please

[mdoug]

has anyone here ever watched a comedian called tony law?


just getting around to watching newest series of nmtb, episode 3 is unreal and he's in it, just wondering if it's worth a watch

[RasTa]

Ah yes so two hours queuing to apply for a visa, then another 90 mins queuing to pay for visa I just applied for, why oh why they can't do the same at once who knows.

Also do NFL games still take 5 hours to finish? I watched the Superbowl in NYC when the Giants were in the final and swore I'd never watch one again.

Hockey(not the girly one over here) is some game to watch.

What's a Tebow?

[RasTa]

A Woman goes out shopping with her husband & spots a pair of boots she likes and simply has to have...
The husband says, "No fucking chance love, they're way too expensive."
Later on in bed the wife is just falling off to sleep when the husband tries his luck and places his hand on her hip.

She turns to him and says...


"I don't think so mate. If you're not prepared to shoe the horse then you ain't fucking riding it!!

[Flushdraw]

What's a Tebow?

Not sure, but i think it's something that makes grown men act like children. His name has been mentioned in the BBV 176 times, and 90 since yesterday. I have a feeling this is going to get unbearable. Please bring back the Suarez racism debate

[TomD]

Methinks that all that Teebow shit is killing the server and the site.
