I did it years ago with some mates and was never so bored. We all left after 1st quarter. To me it’s a game made for tv as you see so much more. Loved it, it made me a fan of the game. I went to my first game not knowing much if anything about it and still enjoyed it although the experience was way more enjoyable when I learned more about the game. I went to a game with around 9 other British lads and all said they enjoyed it and stayed till the end. At least 1 or 2 of them now are more interested and will watch it as a fan now. I’d probably agree with seeing much more on the tv but the large screens in most stadiums I have been no longer make that an issue. Even if you can’t see the large screens from your seat smaller TVs and screens are placed everywhere in the stadium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the rules but ffs you might get a play that lasts 15 or 20 seconds and it’s over and that’s pushing it . Just wanted to hear your take on it. jackunion 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,841 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I bet on the NFL point spread every Sunday. I haven't won in a very long time. It is so difficult to predict. Green Bay cost me yesterday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullies_bowly_legs 3,805 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I started watching American Football when Ch4 came on the scene in the early eighties. The more I watched, the more I understood and my enjoyment of the game grew. Been over to the States a few times to see my team , the Redskins, who were top dogs back in the 80’s's but are anything but these days. Still very keen on the game to this day.🇺🇸 TEFTONG, siddiqi_drinker and delparlane 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordo7 147 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Similar, first game I watched was between the 9'ers and Cowgirls. Followed the 9'ers ever since, through the good times, the bad, and the downright abysmal. eejay the dj 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have me over to watch some games with them so I started taking an interest in the last year or two. I get the general idea of the game, probably from watching the Waterboy film when I was younger lol. I'm still getting the hang of the more technical aspects of the sport. I have been following the Chiefs. born a blue nose and Wullies_bowly_legs 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah fair enough. My Dolphins have been poor. But yesterday's 101 yard line return TD was entertaining. I just caught up with Edelman's touchdown throw v Eagles. Very impressive. cstamomusa 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEFTONG 60,108 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 If anybody wants to get some quality background on Super Bowl winning teams through the years you should check out America's Game on Sky Sports.
