Watch Inside the NFL, but it sort of sucks now. No other show is good. No national columnists are that good either.

start with your high school/college football team, it's more interesting for beginners

I learned pro football from my roommates, who are avid football fans. Find someone who is really into football and watch with them. You'll pick it up fast enough.

I like playing Madden but I don't understand defense and I'm no good at it.

Are there sites to help understand?

Not OP just another fellow /sp/er asking a question.

sounds like me

I play madden thinking i may learn a few things about football, but get my ass whooped in the game cause i don't have much idea of strategy works

if they run, i go for blitz. if they pass, i go for deep cover. so far that's what I try to do, but not sure how things work.

Here is my run down on the teams

Do not support an AFC East team:
JEST, feat. JET FAVRE
18-1
Failphins.
Wide right.

Ravens and Pittsburgh are both good this year on the back of strong d. Browns are to be supported only if you are from Cleveland. Bengals suck.
Colts are for band wagoners and people actually from Indy. Titans are for band wagoners. I don't think there are other teams from the south.
All west division teams suck except THAT. BIRD. this year. NFC South = best division in league. NFC East = most over-rated division in league. Giants are for bandwagoners. Cowboys are for faggots. Eagles are for people who like being let down. Redskins are okay.
NFC North has RAX, Cheeseheads and Vikes, all who are okay but not good.

All in all, support Lions, because then you will never have your expectations let down.

>NFC South = best division in league.

HA HA HA OH WOW

Just because no team has a defense in that division doesn't make their offenses "high powered"

just pick a team:

Arizona: THAT. BIRD. is a good team maybe on average once every 50 years (oh, look, and this year happens to be it) ... good for heartbreak all the rest.
>Atlanta. Falcons. Dynasty.
Buffalo: 0 4 4! ho ho ho!!!!
Cincinnati: eh. tends to fail alot.
Cleveland: same as Cincinnati, except it's funnier to make fun of them.
Dallas: if you like bandwagon, fairweather douchebag fans, the team for you.
Denver: i don't know about this team... but i hope one day to join the mile high club.
Green Bay: BRETT FAVRE BRETT FAVRE BRETT FAVRE BRETT FAVRE BRETT FAVRE (no longer plays for this shit team)
Houston: complete fail. sage.
Indianapolis: I want to have hot, steamy gay sex with Peyton Manning. And start alongside in one of his many commercials.
Jacksonville: where the fuck is this city anyway?
Kansas City: You name your city after another STATE? what the bloody fuck is this shit.
Minnesota: see Buffalo.
New Orleans: you know they're gonna fail every year, so why bother?
NJ Giants: Defending champions. New York fans are douches.
NJ Jets: Future champions because of ... well ... they got a decent quarterback this year.
Oakland: zombie owner, oh noes!!11
Pittsburgh: they all work on steel or something.
Philadelphia: epic fail team, AND you love to hate 'em.
Tampa Bay: bring back the butt pirate logo!

You have no clue faggot. Look at the out-of-conference results. Falcons dropped 20 on Denver, Tampa Bay 13. And Denver is the division leader. They are playing pretty damn well out of division.

Saints dropped 32 on Denver. Need I go on?

Denver fucking sucks.
Saints have no D, Bucs and Atlanta have inconsistent D, and the Panthers have a moderate D. If they play a team like the Giants or Titans they'll get stomped because the offense won't be able to score 30+ points whilst the defense won't be able to stop the strong run-n-pass combo.

Are you saying the Saints are good? Are you seriously tell me the Saints are good?

Anyway you guys said it yourself the West sucks. So beating up the West makes you good?

I don't understand.


The only legit team in the south is Carolina because they have a running game and a defense. Their QB is awful.

The way your teams play against eachother in the NFC South is ridiculous. All of your defenses suck against each other and you put up ridiculous numbers.

NFC South = Not the best division in football

All those teams lost to Denver. The only NFC South team Denver has not defeated is Carolina, because they haven't played yet.

The NFC South is the reason any AFC West team is above .500. That is pretty pathetic.

denver sucks, they lost to the chiefs and the raiders (chargers too but hochuli hosed them)

also denver is the only <.500 team in the afc west so i dont see what was your point

If Denver sucks then the NFC South is full of fail because they beat 3 out of 4 teams. Which only proves the point that Carolina is the only legit team in the NFC South.

You'll be temped to watch the cowboys because that what fully 50% of all NFL news is about, but resist the temptation. They don't get talked about just because they are good (they aren't), they get talked about because they ahve a bunch of premadonna faggots on the team that, on any other team, would be superstars. But their egos get in the way. And they are rediculous bawwwfags (read: terrell owens), and they carry guns in public (read: pacman jones).

Pick a team that has somthing about they way that they play that appeals to you, i.e. a really physical, bruising team; a finesse team; the gun-slinging team (likes to pass a lot); speed rush team (kekekeke); whatever.

Personally, I like the Redskins, but that's because I grew up around D.C. and I fucking hate dallas.
