Just seen one of the experts bang on about the 49er's excellent scrimmage. For the first time ever it has given me a reason to have a slight interest in the Super Bowl.
Good luck to the Kansas whatever they are called. |  | | |  |

Was it followed by a REALLY compelling ad break?
*awaits the inevitable downvotes and cries of 'you don't understand it, it's very tactically deep'* |  |

Sleep walked into it after MOTD on the Beeb so no ads. I don't understand it. | | | |

As I understand it, there's some big lads run into each other, a ball pings about a bit and then someone tries to sell you breakfast cereal. Or Beyonce turns up. | |

It's little more than an over hyped, over choreographed costume drama.
Back in the early 1990's I saw a BBC2 documentray that featured the sponsors telling the coaches what sort of 'action' they wanted next so as to lead into linked advert.
I accept that it provides some form of gratification for those with mild Aspergers who may have an fixation with numbers and 'stats'.
However it is to sport what X Factor is to Glastonbury. |  | | |

I used to enjoy the NFL a lot, probably for the reasons which you decry. Once you watch it for a fair while, you begin to understand the tactical nuances. However, that was largely watching Channel 4's highlights programmes in the late 1980s. It does require a lot of patience to watch a full game & if it isn't a close game, it can be pretty dull.
Even when I was really into the game, I wouldn't last beyond the dreaded half time break when watching the Superbowl live, especially as it was by then 1:00am on a monday morning & I had to go to work.
Younger Americans are not watching much live NFL (& baseball) now, largely because the games take way too long & a lot of the time, there isn't much happening. A bit like Test cricket. |  |

"scrimmage". A term I have only ever heard in one other context. Can't recall what that would be now. |  |

Their first album was brilliant, but I never really listened to the follow up. |  |

Hmmm. I can think of 150 million reasons why you are wrong but your mind is closed.
Wembley, spurs twickenham sell out every year for NFL games and there is a flourishing national game in this country which actually feeds into the NFL.
if you imagine every football league in Europe condensed into one league with no second division - with every club commited to a system that ensures parity and competition from that platform of excellence then you'd be close to what NFL offers... except it is largely skill and tactically based - unlike football which is largely skill and luck based
