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

I don't think anyone owns the Italian national team do they? |

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'.

| Quote ="Prince of Denmark"Same here. I watched Streatham Redskins and London Knights, but a few years back I recall someone on a message board getting really stroppy with me because I had no interest in NHL and knew nothing about who played for which teams etc. I've never even crossed the Atlantic and have never seen any of these teams live, that sprt doesn't translate very well to television, therefore I've got little interest in them regardless of how high the standard is.
I prefer to watch sport live (even at a relatively low standard) than on television.'"
Yeh, I like going to hockey games and watching them live, but although I take a bit of an interest in the NHL it certainly is not the best sport to watch on TV. |

I've tried with American Football, really I have, but I can't cope with the constant stoppages, the adverts and the jargon. Whenever a commentator starts going through a play I just seem to lose track of what he's saying, like he's speaking Arabic or something.
But its still not as bad as Bowls or Equestrian.'"
best way is to tape it,then fast forward to each play(they only last about 10 seconds)then keep fast forwarding to each play.thats what i did for the super bowl final,saves me from falling asleep

I really do like the game, but the stoppages are a killer. I'm very much a tape it and fast forward watcher these days.
Used to love it when first shown on Channel 4 in the 80's. You got the highlights of the best game from the previous week without all of the stoppages. In those days the results werent reported over here so it was like watching it as live.

I love american football i agree that there is too many stoppages but you get used to it after a while and the adverts are needed to raise all the money they need to keep it going and at least it stops all the teams having silly little sponsors all over the team jerseys

Golf. Skiing. F1.
The worst sports ever. Jesus christ they're boring. YankBall isn't too bad, we only really watch one game a year and that's only if were ill and can't sleep and don't have work the next day and there's nothing else on.
