Are You Ready for Some (American) Football?

For the second year straight the NFL held a regular season game here in London. I'm not sure what kind of agreement the NFL and the owners have, but giving up 1 of your 8 home games is a pretty big deal. I guess they see a big enough market here that it's worth it. And the people here apparently love the pigskin, since they filled the Wembley stadium, which can hold about 3 billion people. True fact.

In the true spirit of American football one of our British friends, who loves America and shows it by proudly wearing his stetson boots, had a little get together. The menu included such classic American cuisine as Coors Light, hot dogs, popcorn, chicken wings, and chips and dip. And of course, Mike and Lori's magical pumpkin cream cheese muffins made an appearance. And unlike last year's boring 13-10 nonsense game, this year's game was actually entertaining and came down to the final play. And although only one team can be declared winner, I think everyone's a winner when those pumpkin muffins show up.
