Aliensurfer Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I've tried numerous times over many years to get into NFL and just can't do it, I switch off after 10-15 minutes. Saying that, I'm heading to Texas in Oct and the person were going to stay with said we can go to a Cowboys game, so maybe seeing it live will perk my interest.

wizurd Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Yer on TV even I struggle sometimes. I prefer watching the college football on TV seems to be less breaks. watching it live is totally different. obviously each play is only short but there's less interruptions and it flows better. Def go if your in texas . got an aunt over there and they are all nuts lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Used to be massively into it but kinda lost interest a few years back, dont really know why. Still watch the odd game and the Superbowl, just seems to be missing something for me these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Went to the first two international series games at Wembley. First one was just poor, but the second one was much more exciting. £125 a ticket though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 My missus lived in Baltimore for 7 years, so naturally...... But still learning to understand the game, did watch the SuperBowl tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I've tried numerous times over many years to get into NFL and just can't do it, I switch off after 10-15 minutes. Same here, too many ad breaks. American sports tend to built around short bursts of action and long breaks for adverts. It's just what Americans are used to and is the main reason why football/rugby/cricket will never really catch on in The States, they just don't have the attention span. American football is actually quite entertaining, it's a real family day out and crowds are truly gigantic but I don't see it ever catching on here in its current format.

Guest Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I follow, albeit hard to do from here, have to be prepared for a late night on Mon, channel 5 I think last year. For my sins support the Buffalo Bills, yes, them, 3 Superbowls way back when, lost em all. I try to hold a rather unsuccessful Superbowl party every year, no 1 will come cause it finishes about 4am. The very best was 2 years ago with an outcome decided in the last 2 secs & Bruce Springsteen as the halftime show, pure brilliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy_watson Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Been to all the International Series games so far and am a Packers fan. I got into it about 15 years ago with the coverage on Sky. I've been a rugby player for many years so its kind of up my street. It does take a while to get your head around the many many rules but once you get into it you realise it is a highly tactical and skillful game. As with all professional sports, the guys on the TV make things look ridiculously easy, doing things that us mere mortals could only dream of doing.
