Sky Sports viewers will be able to see every touchdown in every game when the 2011 NFL season kicks off on the weekend of September 8-11.
Hosted by Kevin Cadle and Neil Reynolds, Sky's coverage begins with Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers hosting the New Orleans Saints in the Thursday night season-opener at Lambeau Field. The first Sunday double-header features the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Baltimore Ravens and the New York Giants at the Washington Redskins in a game given extra poignancy on the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The exciting news for fans of all teams is that, following the successful introduction of NFL Network's Red Zone channel on Sky's red button at the end of last season, this experiment will continue throughout the first six weeks of the new season.
It means that as well as watching the biggest games of the day in their entirety fans can also choose to watch the fast-paced action on Red Zone, hosted by Scott Hanson. There, the focus switches from game to game depending on where the action is at its hottest, meaning you can see all the key plays in every game.

Personally I think this is a great move. Although Red Zone got some bad reactions from UK fans last season this was mainly because Sky replaced one of the live games with Red Zone and inserted commercial breaks. With it being available on the red button it should be quite good as it can be shown uninterrupted and commercial-free, as it should be.

How would that work? Would we have our own division? The winner going to the play-offs? How could we sustain more than one American Football team? Also since there isn't any grass roots for the sport they would need American college players no?

Re: NFL season 2011/2012
It would work the same as the existing Wembley game. A regular season NFL game would be played over here instead of over there.

No, sorry, I didn't include the article I was referring to originally. Rumours of a London Franchise.

I cannot see a London franchise happening. NFL fans in the UK have their own teams for one reason or another.
I will always be a BEARS fan no matter what.

Re: NFL season 2011/2012
Been a bears fan since 1985 when I saw my very first game. I must admit though to wanting to have a local team (or perhaps one in London) that I can go and see..
