The American Football season is in full effect and hoorah for the Interwebs which has cunningly saved my life. Given the relative lack of support for the sport in the UK there are only two options for watching the sport:
1. Watch Channel Five at stupid o'clock on a Monday evening and being unable to get up for work the following morning
2. Pay through the nose for Sky Sports and still be unable to enjoy the games because our Sky box has a tiny recording capacity.
Or ...
Thanks to the generosity and patience of a guy I know only as Kinison, I can download all of the Seattle Seahawks games and watch them on my laptop on teh way home from work.
I'm not saying I wouldn't pay to access the games, but right now the NFL haven't really embraced the possibilities of net downloads - surely it would serve them well to charge a couple of bucks to access the weekly games - especially for us foreigners who don't get Sunday afternoon and Monday evening games - I'd be happy to shell out for the ability to cheer the Seahawks on (and the Ravens and the Dolphins and ...) but I can't, so come on NFL get your act together!!
And in the meantime, go Hasselbeck go !!!!
