I disagree! I love watching soccer, which is a lot more exciting than baseball or American football, the sole purpose of which is to smack each other (to define it simplistically). If soccer wasn't on at such odd times, I would have been glued to the TV. In fact I was 4 years ago watching France defeat Italy (I think it was Italy).

May I say; I think you are insane for suggesting soccer is more exciting than the NFL in America. (Go Pack!)

BTW, it's not really referred to at "American Football", it's called the NFL.

"...smack each other..". EXACTLY! That's why I'm glued to my T.V. every Sunday afternoon.

Anyone recall the Joe Thiesman leg injury? Or how about Sweetness (RIP) side stepping into the end zone and of course Brett Favre doing his magic on the field. This is why I love this sport.

Yeah, that Packers game against the Rams in the playoffs was real exciting......or an absolute joke, take your pick.

I love football too. But it can get rather boring at times. Anyone remember the Ravens/Giants SuperBore? Or all the years the Cowboys beat up the Bills in the Superbowl? I wonder, how many of you would think football is a high scoring sport if they changed touchdowns to 1 point and Field Goals to a half point?
