American Football on TV

Hi, American expats! My husband and I are coming to Thailand for the New Years. Are there any places to watch a bowl game?

Thanks!

the funny thing about American sports on UBC is that in the US there is a commercial break every few minutes. But as there are not here they tend to just leave the live broadcast running.

Pretty funny when you hear the commentators ordering sandwiches and discussing players/drivers with their 'real' opinions

i didnt know that, thought it was the whole replay, couldnt understand why i kept on missing plays!!

You know I though I was going to be dying to watch the games before I left for LOS but when I got there I couldn't be bothered to follow them. Must be something to do with the beach, the sun, and they general partying. Makes you forget real quick about the things back home.

LOL! I'm glad I went alone this time around.

Seriously though, I didn't even check the scores on ESPN. I did see the Seahawks game on TV in one of the bars in Soi Eric but it wasn't really as interesting as the bargirls. Thankfully I didn't get a chance to check the how the Giants have been doing the last 3 weeks as they have been stinking up the place.
