I'm absolutely not into American football, I just know quarterbacks are the most important ones and that they are in the role of a point guard in basketball, and also some of the basic rules. But I checked up last year's super bowl and it was pretty fun.
 
Eh, it's all perspective. It absolutely bores me to death to try to watch football (soccer) but I like NFL. Why? because I know the players and the game. Just like hockey. I could care less about rugby, swimming, cricket or basketball. I don't know the players.
 
How can you get to know of players if you don't bother to watch the game ? For example, four years ago I didn't know anything about cycling. In 2009 I watched a stage of Tour de France without knowing anything about the riders, teams, the tour, anything. And as you probably know, nothing ever happens in cycling until the very end. I sat and watched the whole thing and from then on, I've never missed a Tour de France and I'm familiar with the riders and the teams now.

Last year's superbowl, I didn't know anything about the teams, it was the first time I've ever seen an American football game. But I throughly enjoyed it.
 
Yet, you are absolutely not into it. ;)

I'm certain, due to a huge percentage of fans on this board, that 'real' football is good. I just don't currently have the time to dig into it. Maybe some day.
 
"Real" Football bores me even more than American Football. To me it's just a bunch of guys running back and forth across a field kicking a ball around. There's probably more to it, but I don't care to learn about what that is. At least with American Football I understand the different formations and how certain plays work.


None of that really matters anyway since Hockey is obviously the best sport.
 
In football there are so many different strategies, tactics and positional mechanisms you can't even begin to try to imagine. Just saying. :D Anyways I may seem to be a big football fan but I really am not, it's probably my fourth or fifth favorite sport. But since the country I'm from is so obsessed with it, I just can't help. Though the interest in my country has significantly increased to my favorite sport to watch, write about and play myself : Basketball. (the reason why I'm still up -it's 3:45 am here- is the NBA, actually)

Never seen a hockey match, just highlights.
 
NHl lockout looks like it is finally going to end.
:S But it sounds like they might wrap it up tonight or tomorrow
 
How am I spending my Saturday night? Listen to some awesome records and getting not-quite-drunk-yet. Does that even make sense? Who the hell knows.
 
I'm watching TV and not getting drunk at all because I'm only 16 and I don't live in Germany :(
 
That's good because underage drinking is baaad! And I'm not in Germany! Also, I'm a bit more drunk than I was before when I posted that last.

Edit: Ooh wait! It just occured to me that you were refering the drinking age in Germany. :lol:

Agree. This is a fookin' disaster. Sal Paolantonio hit it on the head: Reid was propped up by Jim Johnson, the legendary defensive coordinator, during his best years in Philly. After Johnson died of cancer in 2009, Reid's win-loss record got worse each year. I've lost all hope in Lamar Hunt's kid as an owner.

Lol yes. It pisses me off that they get it so early.

Et tu, Wasted? Let's get one thing straight. "Real" football is played played by god-like giants in war armor who run like gazelles and slam into each other with murderous intent, not a bunch of pansies in short-shorts who collapse in histrionics when they get a minor boo-boo. Soccer is entertaining in its own way, but I mean, come on... Jack Lambert would have made Messi mess himself.

That said, the games tonight weren't that great. Andy Dalton is simply horrible. He left about 2 or 3 touchdowns unclaimed because he won't pull the trigger on passes when players break open. I never noticed this until Ron Jaworski and Merrill Hoge showed prior game film this morning on the fabulous "NFL Matchup" program on ESPN (possibly my favorite show on television), and lo and behold, it came to pass today. It's really a major problem with Dalton. Bengals need to get rid of him while they can still get some value.
 
There's no real control at all here. The law says you can start drinking at 18, but in fact kids start drinking as early as they want. Looking at things from where I stand now, it's horrific. Back then, it looked like the coolest thing ever.
