    probably most guys favorite sport, i watch it but its not my favorite.

    a lot of internationals could care less about it, but i have never seen an american who liked sports say they dont watch it.

    Best sport in the world. Other countries are less evolved. That's why only about two countries in the world could compete with us in a war.

        Almost never watch it anymore.

        Spend a lot of time handicapping it and bet it more than any sport outside of college hoops.

        I try sometimes but some shit for brains is always rambling on and fukkin on. Gives me fukkin headache.

          tivo/dvr it and watch a game in 1/2 hr instead of 3 hours worth of bs

          most sports are unwatchable unless you are emotionally invested or have a huge bet on them

                Most overrated sport for entertainment. Maybe 4 games a week worth watching. The rest is garbage like Jax vs. Tenn, Cards vs Rams. 3 commercials in between 2 plays timed 8 seconds is routine. Hear the dumbfuk fantasy squares every where you go, TT is exhibit A of the dime a dozen fat fuk American fantasy square

                College Saturday is so much better than Sunday it's just a farce to compare

                  I would certainly agree with that assessment. College ball still watchable. Not some full of himself fukk blowing himself in the booth for a lot of games

                      This rigged motherfuker was the last NFL game I ever bet. Way too many end this way with the game decided on some last second bullshit. Watch for three hours with 90 minutes of commercials only to get fuked on the last play by the shitty referees.

                          Desperate broads are HUGE football fans....or at least they claim to be because they are desperate for guys attention.

                          IMO a girl who doesn't watch any sports on tv is way more attractive than a sports fan. Same reason I don't like broads who play golf. Gotta get away every now and then.

                              Most girls that claim they are into football don't know sht about it. The fat ones sometimes study the game though since they can never get hollowed out.

                                  people that dont bet on it dont watch it, it is that simple. If guys dont have action they really dont care. A few 'fans' might be interested for the first few games until their team gets eliminated but thats about it. If the NFL were as big as people make it out to be Los Angeles wouldnt have been without a team for the past 20 years.

                                  I would say golf has more people that watch it (that dont gamble) than the NFL does.

                                    Almost everyone I know watches it religiously every sunday and 90 percent of them don't gamble often.

                                      Are you fukkin high?

                                      Theres a reason why super bowls are always the most watched shows of the year

                                      And have you ever heard of fantasy football?

                                      fyi to all...FAR more people watch football because of fantasy than because of betting...and please don't call fantasy football gambling

                                            Number 1 reason NFL is king, and it has everything to with the fantasy/gambling world. Games, on one day a week with obvious exceptions here and there - and MNF. Build up all week, to an amazing day of relaxation, and sports. Every week for the whole season. It is absolutely the best damn thing sports offers, is the NFL.

                                            MLB/NBA = not as easy to keep up with all the games.

                                              At the Bronco Training Camp, I saw a fat girl cry because she didn't get Manning's autograph. There was a shit load of people there. I think you might be right.

                                                this...the fukin commercials make it almost unwatchable for me...I love watching it but hate the commercials, and you know there will be ones that they play like 20 times over and over again over the course of the day....

                                                Love american football but enjoy watching many other sports over it...Hockey #1 for me...then after that playoff baseball, nba, and any soccer in no particular order...

                                                I actually think that soccer could eventually overtake the NFL in the future in the US as crazy as it sounds,,,,.\might take 50/100 years who knows but i could see it happening

                                                  whats so rigged about this? just curious

Games, on one day a week with obvious exceptions here and there - and MNF. Build up all week, to an amazing day of relaxation, and sports. Every week for the whole season. It is absolutely the best damn thing sports offers, is the NFL.

                                                    MLB/NBA = not as easy to keep up with all the games.
                                                    i've always wondered....whats the average play for a monday night game vs a normal sunday game....most locals i know of settle on tuesday so there's gotta be what...5:1 more action on MNF than any other game at least

                                                    anyone know?

                                                      definitely my least favorite of the 4 major sports in USA but I still watch since it is only 1 day a week (basically). Would watch a Wild hockey game any day over an NFL game. Football takes the least amount of skill to be a good player, which is why so many people play it. I never had the size to play football so I never really got into it

                                                            I dont watch it unless I have a play on it

                                                            College football is the superior game

                                                            NFL is a joke. It's become too thuggish and hip hop culture-ish. Most players have no morals or diginity anymore. And NFL fans are the dumbest fans of any professional sport. It's a league for the uneducated masses, its easy to follow since its once a week.

                                                            Nothing angers me more than seeing stupid NFL films highlights, as if it were some kind of epic battle for the future of all eternity.

                                                            NFL takes itself too seriously for its own good

                                                            I havent watched the Super Bowl since 2003. I was 14 years old at that time and realized what a scam the Super Bowl was. Too much hype for one game, its more about the week and events leading up to the game and pregame/halftime show and commercials than the actual game.

                                                              Not so much that for me more than its becoming too much like the NBA. Too many thugs and hip hop culture types running the show now. It's becoming more about individuals rather than a team. Just like the NBA.

                                                                Coin Toss, Commercial. Opening Kickoff, Commercial. 3 and out, punt, commerical. Touchdown, extra point, commercial. Kickoff, kick return, commercial. Coaches timeout, commericial. Play under review, commercial. Two plays, interception, change of posession, commercial. End of quarter, commercial.

                                                                Nearly unwatchable
