Not in my mind.

Uhmmm, any doubt of what?

Giants ?

Told ya they'd win

I had a tenner on them to win with Ladbrokes Mace, 13/10. Wish I'd put more on now. Not a big gambler but I like the odd flutter, adds a bit of spice. Reckon I should bet more because I'm fecking good at it. It was a good game, Brady had a serious brain fart for the 2 point safety at the start. Was surreal at the ending too with Bradshaw in two minds whether to score or not lol.

Best moment for me was Manninghams catch late on their final drive, that was great and he did well to stay in bounds.

Love it when the underdogs win though. Knightgames has gone a bit quiet hehehe, seem to remember him saying 'I'll be serving humble pie to the Giants fans' on a superbowl food thread.

Whoops a daisy.

Just out of interest and OT, is betting in the US illegal anywhere other than Nevada, or do other States allow it now? I suppose you could always have a wager with an offshore account, or is that stopped too? Wouldn't think so. Does organised crime still have a big hand in illegal betting? I watched the film 'Casino' the other week and it made me think....though I know the traditional mob don't have the same influence nowadays. Probably all Russians and Eastern European nutters now like everywhere else lol.

They were crap odds Biggles lol, at least you made £13.

I know Mace, but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick eh? Theres nowt daft about the bookies man, never seen one close down yet....they knew there was a good chance of an upset. Clever monkeys, they are.

I would have given you 1/10 odds

Plenty of doupt, seeing how they might not have even beaten the 49ers without them doing themself in...

But yesterday they played a brilliant game, and what I really admire them for is their lack of nerve. Lots of nice 3rd Down conversations.

Lets all take a moment and sigh...

If you are referring specifically to sports betting, I believe it is legal in many States besides Nevada. As far as casinos go, you'll find them in plenty of other States besides Nevada like New Jersey, Mississippi and Florida.

Cheers for the info Panz. Yeah it was more specifically to do with sports betting.

If Biggles says he's moving to the US, he's setting up the Jardie Mafia

Mace,I had absolutely NO interest in American Football until I saw that pic (if that is indeed what those rather shapely girls are playing)

Oh yeah

It's Lingerie Football

Now you guys in the UK need to start a "Lingerie football" league as well.

I don't want to see Chucky in lingerie! o_O

Hehehe, aye I'm getting tooled up noo Mace with me acquaintance and business partner Paddy 'The Pirate' Conroy. We're gannin ower there to set up shop.

Check this nutter out. A gangster from the West End of Newcastle. This is parental advisory and I mean parental advisory, don't play it out loud with kids about or if easily offended. Liberal use of the 'C' word in the second vid (like every 3 seconds lol). When hes talking about the 'bus going into a spin' on the motorway, its an armoured police vehicle he escaped from when being transported to another nick.

Paddy Conroy was one of the most influential gang leaders in Newcastle and is at the centre of an on-going battle with rival crime families in the city's West End. He was dubbed Britain's most wanted man after escaping from police custody before being caught and convicted of kidnap and torture. The court heard how he pulled out a rival's teeth with a pair of pliers; he was sentenced to 12 years in a category 'A' prison We met Paddy after he'd been released early from Prison, back home following over a decade in prison. As part of his bail conditions he remains on licence so even a minor offence, or associating with other criminals, could land him back in jail. Within weeks of his release a rival firm has put a £100 000 contract on his head and his enemies are publicly taunting him. If Paddy is to keep his freedom he needs to learn to hold back -- not easy for a man with a reputation for settling scores.

At a recent Newcastle Crown Court trial they had 20 police snipers, 2 helicopters and a police gunship in the river Tyne to prevent him escaping again.



In this vid, he is challenging the head of another Crime family the Sayers (John Sayers, nasty man) to single combat.....and accuses him of being a police informant. John Sayers has a 100 grand bounty on Conroys head. Just let them get on with it I say.

Again, very much parental advisory, some appalling language used....don't watch if easily offended.



What a charming fellow. He did used to hospitalise crack dealers in Newcastle severely though, so I suppose hes not all bad. Not even the real 'Mr Big' though, and there are worse than him. The ones who are, you never hear about. Dangerous nutter though lol.

I remember seeing this one on MacIntyre, classic

Lol, we've gone from American Football to Geordie gangsters.

I'll strike that off my list 'of things to do before I die' then

Threads radically veering off from the original topic is standard operating procedure for SimHQ!

OH the carpet burns

My ex wife thought the game was soft, so, she suggested puting on a Ladies american football exhibition for our local gala. It lasted until the first practice when one rather fetching young lady broke her wrist in a tackle

That the Giants would be Superbowl Champs OG! (Sorry for the late response)
