When I want to see arguments over rules I watch Law and Order. It has better athletes too.

I am tempted to say an analysis on golf would similarly explain this "sport", but it is just easier to talk to a golfer to understand that it is the sport of the brain dead.

This is why I simply don't have the patience for this game. I'm used to fast-paced games like hockey and wrestling. By the way, in hockey, the clock stops when the action stops, so a 2.5 hour game actually contains 60 minutes of action.

But it's an exciting 10 mins.

In between plays the cameras always cut to some scowling middle aged guy wearing a windbreaker. Rarely do they ever pan to the cheerleaders. Ghey.

Are you guys retarded? NFL Football is the most exciting sport. Some would say basketball, but I think the "big play potential" that basketball desperately lacks until the 4th quarter gives football the edge. This coming from someone who is a huge fan of all sports except hockey.

I love football, however, I can see where people would not enjoy watching it.

non-playoff NFL football is the most boring thing on planet Earth.

The 10-11 minute stat just proves why.
