SWEAR BOX

I hope you agree with me that one of the wonderful things about NFL-EL television coverage is the soundbites you hear from "Sounds of the NFL Europe League" during live coverage of games. These little noisettes of raw action let you peer right into the heart of the game, down on the field, and experience some of the delicacies of this sport that are normally out-of-reach to us, the unwashed hordes.

Plus, it's great for irritating the Mary Whitehouse mob.

For, with the tension comes frayed nerves, and with frayed nerves come, shall we say ... language of a somewhat floral nature. Quite how floral, we're not yet sure, but we at BV plan to get to the bottom of it, and to do that we need your help.

Every week of the season, we are asking you to keep a count of how many times you hear each coach swear on television, and send your findings to us so that we can compile a league table of the nice guys and the nasties. We couldn't make it easier to help if we tried, just fill in the form down below and send it to us. We'll do the rest.
