And I have a question.
Who are the people standing at the sides? I appreciate some are officials and media, but do all these teams have absolutely vast staff? What do all those people do?

	In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!
Poll:	With Evans taking 65% in Huddersfield, is the Banter Era over?

There are I think 53 players in an NFL team. You have one for offence which can include gorillas to run the ball or fleet footed ones to catch it. A team for defence and one for special teams (receiving the ball, for example). You have a kicker and a quarterback.

With all these players you have back ups for injury. Each of the teams have coaches plus of course Head Coach and his direct assistants. You also have medical staff, analysts. There are also officials.

NFL is a bit like chess with people. Very large people mostly. It’s not everybody’s cup of tea, but it is mine. To go to a game in the U.K. is fun. I hope to see one in the US one day, hopefully somewhere warm!

46 players active on game day
then there's tons of coaches, assistant coaches, intern coaches, doctors, physios, waterboys on the sideline - there's even more hidden in booths watching the game from on high and communicating to the sideline. Then there's bucketloads of journalists, photographers, the first down marker guys, cheerleaders etc

I should be going to watch Cowboys Vs Lions in a fortnight which I'm excited for. Was at the Red River Showdown yesterday (I'm at OU this year), great weekend and a fantastic spectacle with 90k in attendance but apparently it was the heaviest defeat the Sooners have faced in 120 years of playing against Texas. I really am a bad luck charm for every sports team I support. It's no coincidence that Town start being good at football for the first time in my 12 years of support once I moved across the Atlantic
