    As it is only 16 games a year, I can definitely do it on a sunday evening, especially if the black and golds are rising the steel curtain on a field

    If you have a good internet connection, there is a lot of good streams normally.

    I HATE American sports. Was sitting at a bar in New York last year and NFL was on. Will never understand that.

    Football is the most strategic sport you can possibly find, by far, the rules aren't that complicated seriously, takes 20 min to catch most of them. I understand when you're not familiar how odd alien it can look like though.

    A very effective way to understand the most important of the game, the only details that you might miss would be those the commentators would explain when there is an imbroglio.

    Well in the NFL they have set Conferences and Divisions, which are made by geographic location and in most cases what league they originated in as the NFL as it is currently and the SuperBowl were formed after the merger of the NFL and the AFL. In the merger the AFL teams formed a new Conference, the AFC. Only a couple original NFL teams transfered to the AFC The Steelers, Browns (now the Baltimore Ravens), and Baltimore Colts(now the Indianapolis Colts).

    If they had such a system in the Premier League you would have divisions and conferences set up somewhat like this:

    Conference #1
    Northern Division: Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Blackburn, Wigan

    Southern Division: Tottenham, West Ham, Aston Villa, Stoke City, Hull City

    Conference #2
    Northern Division: Everton, Manchester City, Sunderland, Middlesborough, Bolton

    Southern Division: Arsenal, Chelsea, West Bromwich, Portsmouth, Fullham

    The winner of The Northern Division plays the winner of the Southern Division in each Conference and then the Conference #1 Champion plays the Conference #2 Champion ergo setting up a big matchup.

    that would be horrendousif was done in premier league

    so is NFL set basically as well so dont have to travel as far for players & fans?

    dont get basketball its just a bunch of tall guys putting a ball in a net which aint even high for them back & forward back & forward how can anyone get excited when they scored cos they do it llike 100 times a game MLB is really boring, we dont play it in england (well girls play it but guys dont think its called rounders) closest thing here is probably cricket (& i bloody hate that as well)

    soccer is greatest game to play but i understand if u dont enjoy watchin it as can be boring but also can be greatest game in world to watch, only just seen that brasil beat usa in final of confederations cup, would of been good for the sport in usa if they had of won

    I despise team sports period.

    Boxing and Tennis for me; the occasional MMA card if I think it won't be a bunch of humping on the floor all night.


    NASCAR is tedious and stupid; I could get two of my dogs to chase their tails and be just as excited.

    Anyone who bowls or watches bowling should be hung from the nearest scaffold.

    Golf is gay looking but damn it must be hard to get that ball in the hole
