Some people may know that the NY Giants and the Miami Dolphins played their NFL game in London, England, yesterday. It was on TV snd I watched the "highlights". Since my regular QB has a bye I ended up with the Dolphins' QB, Cleo Lemon, in my fantasy team. Even to my untutored eye, he didn't have the best of games, throwing the ball behind himself at one stage, and panicking and throwing it out of bounds another time. I thought I'd been sold a Lemon. (HAR HAR ...  ) Still, he picked up 6 points for the team ... BTW, is he any relation to Meadowlark Lemon, the Basketball player?

Arnie, So what did you think of the sport in general? Have you seen one before? I think it's cool that they played over there for exposure. I always wanted to see a cricket game/match. Why don't you guys send one over so we can see it. lol

I've watched the game on TV a few times before, including a couple of Superbowls. Trouble is, with the time difference, it's always been on after midnight, often well after. My main complaint is the game's stop-start way of playing; 30 seconds of action, two minutes of nothing happening, 30 more seconds of action, and so on. It wasn't so bad in this particular game as it was only the highlights, but with other games I've seen it makes it seem really boring. They were unlucky with the weather - it poured down all the time. The ball was like a bar of soap so it wasn't really conducive to a good passing game. The grass was also apparently shorter than the teams are used to so they were sliding everywhere. Why not pop over to Barbados or Trindad or somewhere else in the Caribbean to watch a cricket match? At least you'll probably get good weather!

NFL games were first brought to our TV screens over here after the launch of Channel 4 in the early '80s. At that time the Dolphins were the most successful team - think Don Shula, Dan Marino ... They probably have the largest group of UK fans, even now.
Also I understand they have been getting small crowds in Miami, so it makes sense to move the game to Wembley, where nearly 90,000 saw the game.

I heard Jason Taylor was mobbed where ever he went. He said it felt very strange. He didn't think anyone would know who he was, let alone be big fans of his.
