@CrustyMorris Love it!! Talk of a College game coming to Wembley next year 😱

[Ben Collins @BCjourno]

Thanks again for your time folks, and for helping me explain why it's so hard for 'crossover athletes' to make the transition to the NFL #BBCNFL @OsiUmenyiora @1CSW @phoebeschecter https://t.co/9ln6ByUj7m

Well this made me feel old... 30 yrs after watching his dad from the Umbro Stand, I spoke to Uwe's son Colin Rosler, who's named after #MCFC legend Colin Bell. Colin's had to forge his own path but is now making a name for himself with #MalmoFF @Malmo_FF https://t.co/ww7YLKnMlb

Always a pleasure Phoebe... and where better to finish this season's run than in New Orleans on radio row during Super Bowl week?! 😃#SuperBowlLIX

[Phoebe Schecter @Phoebe_Schecter]

Last one of the season. Have loved working with @BCjourno all season long and grateful for the opportunity!
Thanks to everyone for joining us on this journey this season!

NFL announce a multi-year partnership to stage a regular-season game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground from 2026, with the Los Angeles Rams the designated home team for the first game in the Asia-Pacific region @RamsNFL #NFL #NFLAustralia

We're still waiting for confirmation on whether Aaron Rodgers will play another NFL season but if does, he'll be playing in London for the 3rd time in 4 years in 2025. The @nyjets are coming back for a 2nd straight year!! ✈️🇬🇧🏈#NFLUK @NYJetsinUKandIE https://t.co/vBily12XJ6

Always a pleasure speaking with @Phoebe_Schecter for @BBCSport, and great to explain what 'Sonic & Knuckles' are all about. Should be a cracking game between the #Bills & #Lions on Sunday. Is it a Super Bowl preview? And who should be the #NFL MVP? https://t.co/MemThdk6wI

@sunmurly @PaulPabst @ChicagoBears @Cubs @mullyhaugh @670TheScore Here's the starting line-up🤣

Was a pleasure speaking to the Minnesota @Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell and conducting this interview about Khyree Jackson and the impact he had during his short time with the organisation before dying in a car accident in July #NFL #Vikings #NFLLondon https://t.co/Aac5fuQYQh

Travis Clayton is preparing for his 1st season with the @BuffaloBills after going from an office job to the NFL in less than a year. #NFL teams are set to name their 53-man active roster so will Clayton make the cut for the Bills? #NFL #BBCNFL 🏈🇬🇧 https://t.co/wffkiFMe1p

[Ben Collins @BCjourno]

Great to catch up with Efe Obada as he prepares for the new NFL season with the Washington @Commanders For him to just make it to the NFL was an amazing achievement but to secure ANOTHER year, after a career-threatening injury last season, is astounding https://t.co/o4X7LU8TJd

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

Could we see NFL stars at the next Olympics? 🤩

Flag football will feature at LA 2028 ✅ We'll see teams of five with a quarterback, a centre/receiver, plus a mix of receivers and running backs.

Who would make your dream USA team?

[Ben Collins @BCjourno]

New NFL Netflix series is worth watching just to hear about Justin Jefferson's alter-ego!! ✈️One of his @Vikings coaches told me about what sets him apart and that he could one day be up there with Jerry Rice & Randy Moss #Vikings #NFL #receivernetflix https://t.co/2HEyLY0beb

Shocking scenes at the Copa America final in Miami last night - and the World Cup will be heading to the US in just two years' time. What went wrong and what can be learned? #CopaAmerica #CopaAmerica2024 #Miami https://t.co/ihdS2LQW0S

This year's Western States 100 is under way, with Britain's Jonathan Albon in contention. He warmed up by winning the 45-mile Transvulcania, which is helping La Palma recover from a volcanic eruption in 2021 @Transvulcania @wser #ws100 #westernstates100 https://t.co/zW5oyULxMQ

[Ben Collins @BCjourno]

Been a pleasure to write about @Transvulcania and the stunning island of La Palma. Thanks to @TomEvansUltra, @jonathanalbon and @CabLaPalma for telling me about how the race is helping La Isla Bonita recover from the 2021 eruption https://t.co/zW5oyULxMQ

[Ben Collins @BCjourno]

Great to speak with some fellow Blues about what it means to win a fourth straight #PremierLeague title. Huge thanks to @kippaxgirlemily & @EllisPalmer94 #MCFC 🏆🏆🏆🏆 https://t.co/YZdHe1HfOF
