Its great to watch on Sky+ so you can FF the stoppages, whilst keeping the replays etc. I do undertsnad the game but it drags on for far too long (I was at Wembley this year) and has not much excitement unless you are supporting one team or the other.
I bet alot of the people that complain about the stoppages also will watch a full days cricket, which can't have much more action than an NFL game.

Widnes fans complaining about not being in Super League for one.

I love the sport. I think when you take time out to learn the rules and understand the game you appreciate it more. The fact is, alot of people do not have the attention span to enjoy a game of American Football.

Being an English fan of the sport, you get the stick everytime someone finds out you like it. If you don't like it, don't watch it. I do not like fishing, aussie rules or ten pin bowling, so I don't watch it, nor do I start a thread saying that I don't.

One of the better sports for action i think.

If you find American Football boring then don't watch it and don't make crap posts about it. People will always find a sport boring, i find football, club rugby union and more importantly cricket boring.

As for American Football it's a fantastic sport. One of the most entertaining IMO and is my second favourite sport after Rugby League.

I agree at first American Football can be confusing but i was still interested in it, once i took the time out to learn the rules/jargon etc properly it became completely enthralling to me. The breaks then become ok to deal with as most of the time they go through the previous drive and disect the plays and you constantly learn more about the different systems of offence and defence etc.

It's a great sport to watch live as i found out when i got to watch my team play in Jacksonville.

But surely the fact that the "World Champions of Football" in your eyes being owned by Americans goes someway to suggest that they are already?

Possession being 9/10ths of the law and all that.

i have to say american football's prolly my second fave sport behind rugby league . its a hybrid between league and chess. the tactical side of the game's really intense when you get to understand it. its a sport i can watch eaisily for 4 hour and not get bored if a "soccer" match lasted that long id be ready to slit my wrists.

I can't watch a match in real time unless I've got a book or a crossword to do. It'll never go back to those fantastic days of Channel Four's highlights show on a Sunday evening.

That was back when it was American Football's turn to be the 'fastest growing sport in the UK'.

The Cosa Nostra own the Italian Football team.
