I love American Football. In my humble opinion there is no sport in the world like it. A game can turn on a single play at any time in the game.
I used to love to play soccer and several other sports, but there has never been any game that has captured my attention the way a good NFL game can.
But, like (I think) Dr. Grump said, a lot of the power of a sport is knowing the history of the teams and players. There is no history for me... hell, I can't even understand the language they broadcast most games in!
Another thing, I don't like is, as Divecon, said the extended play. That drives me crazy... I gotta pee and the damn ref wants to keep the game going without giving me any idea when it is gonna end!! Piss on 'im!

That's probably my biggest bugbear with American Football. A game that is supposed to be an hour long goes for four.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........
Yet, with Soccer it goes for 90+ minutes and absolutely nothing happens for 90+ minutes. A few seconds to score a goal and maybe 2 - 3 goals a game. Sorry, but that brings about the "yawn" in me.
And typically, an NFL game goes 3 hours, not 4... but who's countin'?
