American Football is an acquired taste. I acquired it when Channel 4 first started broadcasting it. It was in the days of Joe Montana, the 49ers quarterback and the Fridge who played for the Chicago Bears. I was a 49ers fan but my allegiance has been fickle.
So we’re down to the last four teams. Baltimore Ravens take on the Kansas City Chiefs and the 49ers face the Detroit Lions this evening.
I’m not sure I have the attention span for the two games live back to back. That’s about 7 hours of TV viewing with lots of breaks for analysis by pundits back in the UK studio.
I have a few bets placed to keep my interest. If Brock Purdy scores the first touchdown against the Lions I’ll get £34 for my one pound bet. Yes, I like long shots.
