Perhaps there should be a Cardinals-Internationale Division of AFSN.

I'm in Jersey. Let's just say that the job market here "isn't scintillating." Dunno re AZ.

Sorry Bach for answering your question so late. But I do not hug the internet each day.

I live in Bielefeld in the State of North-Rhine-Westphalia. Good sized city (about 300 000 people). Our local soccer team Arminia Bielefeld just went down from the premier league to second divison and is in rebuilding mode (sounds familiar ?). I don't follow them really but it's sports.

We even have a local football (american football, no less) here called the Bielefeld Bulldogs. The compete in I think the 3rd league and due to some american guests on their squad are top ranking right now (in the 3rd league). The last time I went to a game to watch has to be years ago.
Right now I get my football news from the little that is shown here on the sports channels and during the season I view the live feed via the internet. It usually ruins my monday because kickoff is between 10 or 11pm depending on home game or not.

Well, can't wait for the season to start. ;-)

In case you haven't noticed, the reason I asked is because we're in the same timezone. I'm about 700 km north of you in Aarhus, Denmark and my mondays are ruined, too. Live boardcasting usually starts at 10 pm.

Yeah, we have Peroni here. The company I work for distributes it. We don't sell much up here in N. Arizona though. Mostly at Italian restaurants.

You believe that because you havn't been to Britain and tasted beers like :-

Fullers ESB, Wadsworths 6x or the nectar of life (aka Theakstons Old Peculier).

Beer is to England (and in this case I do mean England) like Wine is to the french and Italians.

And last but not least my f*****ing A/C just went out in the main part of the house.

yeah we get a couple of games per weeks. Only thing is they cater to the teams with the biggest fanbase over here so it's a regular dose of Dolphins, Raiders, 49ers, Cowboys etr etc

The last time the Cards were on was the playoff run; perhaps that's been a blessing though
