i went to a football party last night at my friends house. there were like 70+ people there...
it was interesting to see the range of interest there in both guys and girls. what's funny is that many girls really try to get into it because they think guys will like them more.
personally, i actaully like playing the game... it's fun.
as far as watching.. it can be a total bore sometimes. the ball is in play for only a fraction of the game as most of it is spent on the sidelines or at the line of scrimmage getting sacked or on incomplete passes... you really just sit there waiting for that miracle play that you'll spend all next week talking about to your other football freinds.
verdict: watch hockey

faking it:
just learn the names of the key players on your local team.
he sucks, he's great, blah blah blah. it's simple. not many peeps have their own opinion about sports figures, they go with the flow. so if one guy says that they like player x, then so do most people. if player y sucks...
get it?

have to agree with mitsu, an american football game is only 60 minutes long in theory. yet it take like 4 hours to get through it.
the actual time players are running or doing something is so painfully short.
rather watch sumo, at least you get the same amount of action without the false pretense of a game clock

if you're a dude that doesnt like sports ESPECIALLY football...i think you should have your membership card to the male gender club revoked.

well, unless you face off against a group of ninjas and win... then you can retain your membership.

You need to get a team that you stick with. Don't just go with 'the good team' each year. Then you can watch that one team and feel like you know what's going on.
I don't watch NFL football....too boring for me. NCAA is where its at. (Go Irish!)
Although I did catch the super bowl, considering Tampa was in it and I live near it, i felt an obligation.

Harlem GlobeTrotters are where its at.

I saw the globetrotters many years ago and was thoroughly dissappointed....it was funny, but got old after about 5 minutes. too bad.

yes jugglers!
At the risk of betraying myself as a complete dork. I juggle. Juggling is fun.
I don't watch juggling on TV... I juggle.

I'm the same way man...
I didn't even know who was playing untill half way trough the game when I called a friend :)
I just can't give a real care about footbal, I find it dumb and over-rated...
I dig basketball and I follow any soccer tournaments i can - religiouslyIt might be cause I was born in Europe, and soccer is in my blood...
anyway, more power to those who love Football, there is nothing wrong with it or that.... I just don't care to care for it....
if you know what I mean...
