I was watching this pre-season "football" game thats on right now. I fell asleep during the first half and just woke up, and its like the 4th quarter now. I tried watching more of it but I simply cant take anymore 2 minute pauses and 4 minute commercial breaks inbetween 10 second plays. And you guys say (real) football is boring, lmao.

Thank god the EPL season starts in 2 weeks

so i think here is a good summary of whats happening so far:

team 1 runs 5 yards. 5 minute pause

announcer depressingly reminds you that this game is brought to you by viagra and gatorade.

team 1 runs another 5 yards. 5 minute pause

commercial

camera pans to some unknown nigger talk about brett farve on the sideline. 5 minute break

commercial

team 1 punts the ball, team 2 runs the field another 5 yards. 5 minute break

commercial.

another unknown nigger on the sideline talking about bret farve

repeat.

yeah this is fucking boring.

When I watched the games they showed on ESPN last year. It really felt like it was more commercials than play, and that just sucks. I actually like american football and so, but It's just hard to watch on (american) TV, maybe it's better live. I think the game would gain more popularity in Europe etc if they used ads and logos on the shirts/pants and maybe helmets while cutting down on commercial time.

Amerifag here.

The commercials are getting out of control IMO. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like the commercial breaks are getting longer and longer every year.

Another thing that bothers me is that I think the NFL over expanded (Jags, Panthers, New Browns, Texans) and the league seems a little watered down.

I love football and I love the NFL but I believe the league executives have done a shitty job of exploiting their product to the point where its just overkill. Too many commercials, No Fun League, cap parody, horrible officiating etc.

I hope there is a strike or a work stoppage in a few years and the league gets knocked off its high horse a bit and makes some positive changes.

I knew commercials in the NFL were bad but I was surprised at how bad:

12 minutes of action in a 3 HOUR game? How do people sit through that? Baseball is apparently even worse.

When you complain about the stoppage between plays you admit to not even coming CLOSE to understanding the strategy behind it.

Stick with your faggot euroball garbage. Really, it's not worth it for you.

You know much about football, NOT... Just because you get 6 points for a touchdown doesnt mean you've scored 6 times... what was the Super bowl final? 17-14? 2-2 in touchdowns and one kick, WHOOOO high fucking scoring game.

American football is far superior to euro-pee-on soccer, in soccer you get maybe 1 minute of actual excitement per 90 minute match because most of the game is some queer midfielders hogging the ball and trying to get it up field.

In american football every play has the potential to be balls out awesome, since they line up for every play, you do not have mindless passing back and forth.

In conclusion, AMERICA, FUCK YEAH

>2-2 in touchdowns and one kick

THose five individual scores are in one game. It takes soccer teams like 4 games to score 5 times.

High scoring is all that matters in sports. Thus cricket must be the greatest thing ever.
Here's a randomly picked result - Sussex: 419 & 264-5 Somerset: 348 & 128-2

Okay from your spelling I can tell you're American, or at least not British. For the last 4 years Leeds are the Newcastle of the lower leagues. Every year it is their year for promotion. One year they'll lose a play-off final. The next more relegation.

tl;dr Newcastle > Leeds

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_(word)

"An alternative explanation has it that the word originally referred to a variety of games in medieval Europe, which were played on foot. These sports were usually played by peasants, as opposed to the horse-riding sports more often enjoyed by aristocrats. This explanation is supported by the fact that the word football has always implied a wide variety of games played on foot, not just those that revolved around kicking a ball."

So in other words, STFU about "but they don't use their feet!"
