Since this discussion drifted to other sports...
During the 24 days I spent in Australia and New Zealand, when I retired to my hotel room in the evening, I turned on the TV watched cricket, not because I liked it, but because I wanted to understand it. After at least 8 to 10 hours of viewing the sport, I was no more informed about the game as I was when I first turned it on.
Why? I have the answer but I think it's only understandable in french.Quote

Why is it called football if you play mainly with your hands?
Football is what we play in South America and the rest of the world but we really plat with our feet.....
By the way, what does soccer means?

I can't believe so many GUYS are not into football. Just kind of curious....it IS an event if you want it to be. We have a party, lots of really great food, drinks flow, everyone has a team to cheer on, it can get routy, funny and never dull! We made fun of Beyounce, cheered the Bud commercial with the horse, and the baby in the ETRADE commercial...it was a blast!

Because it's the name of the ball, as in "throw me the football, stupid"!
With that logic, shouldn't the name of the game really be "Parallel Striped Egg Ball"?
What! "throw me the Parallel Striped Egg Ball stupid", I don't know - well maybe you are on to something!

I follow music like others follow sports and I really just don't care about the Superbowl. Instead, I'll put on some music, maybe play some Halo 4, something, anything except watch the game. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy football and my dad is a baseball historian so I have a great love of the MLB, but I really just don't care.
Curious if there is anyone else out there in the same boat.
Personally, I don't really understand how English football manages to be of the slightest interest to anyone at all, and I don't understand how American football even works, so whether it's the "cup final" in the UK or the "Superbowl" in the U.S. - it's all a bit meaningless to me. So you're not alone.
As a footnote, the ONLY time I'm interested in football is once every four years when the world cup comes around, and my enjoyment of that competition stems mainly from seeing (as one does on occasions) some little upstart nation that barely even has a national team or league thrash one of the established "giants" of the game. I just laugh, listening to the panel of experts commentating on the game, discussing this cataclysmic event - as if it's something of earth shaking world changing importance ? Idiots .... it's a f***ing game, nothing more and nothing less. And some you win & some you lose, that's all there is to it !
Vote for the underdog, that's what I say .....

pop quiz - who won the first two super bowls (before it was called the super bowl) - and who was the winning coach? oh, and who played him in a hollywood movie?

That's because you guys stink up there. You don't have the great players we have down here when it comes to NFL football.
