The beginning of 14 hours of football.

Genuinely curious: do other countries normally sing their own national anthems before sporting events, or is that more of an American thing?

The only games that I have watched from across the pond they have played both anthems.

The NFL has to try and grow more fans for the Jags.

Yeah, I remember that, but I'm more curious about purely European events like a normal soccer game between two British teams or something like that. In other words, when we play the national anthem before these games are they all like "WTF is this all about?" or is it normal.

I decided to Google it. The answer is, no, national anthems before sporting events largely don't exist outside the U.S.

The Colts receivers appear to suck balls.

Jfc, regular season games in London are so stupid. How can you call this football when the entire crowd is sterile. Hopefully this shit gets moved to the preseason.

Luckexcuses... but seriously, say what?
Dude has a top WR and legit #1 in T.Y. Hilton. Moncrief is a solid #2. Dorsett is a baby, and should be emerging as at least a solid #3 slot receiver. Dwayne Allen is a good TE. Luck has the weapons.. just not a good/proven OL.

Yeah, pretty sad for the "home team" to get a nice turnover followed by a TD and have it be so quiet in there.
