Unreal if I'm honest mate, even the Mrs enjoyed it and she doesn't 'get it' either.
Best game I've ever watched was Screws V Cons..... Adam Sandlers team won.
All the trick plays, misdirections, then there’s just hard-nosed up the middle running. Great mixture of physical, skill and out-thinking the opponent.
I’ve got back into it these last few seasons.
Seeing Patrick Mahomes play reminds me of seeing Federer play for the first time. Just talent on another level.
Well a bit of fun can be had by asking our USA cousins, Is the Superbowl the single most watched single sporting event... they often arrogantly reply of course it is
However the World Cup Final may eell beat it...
If not then cricket cos 1.3 billion Indians are made about cricket IPL.

Yep, I've been to Ireland a couple of times and managed to catch a game and a live game is something else.
Aussie rules, hurling and rugby are all hard lads, nfl are mostly soft as ****e tbh
For those looking in thinking it's a crap sport, I would seriously encourage you to give it a go. Theirs no other sport that ebbs and flows like NFL, a good few of the games in this years play offs were considered over only for the losing team to come back and win it. Some games have a 20 odd point difference and the losing team comes back to win.
No other sport will see a team go ahead with 13 seconds on the clock, in a massively important game, only to still end up losing! Epic. And people say it's a slow and boring game because it can be stop start
It's something like an hour of action and over three hours for the game as a whole? It might have exciting moments but it's not like it being stop start is a myth or exaggerated, it's built into the sport.
I've tried to get into it a few times and I haven't got the patience for all the standing about. When something actually happens it's decent but it's not enough to make up for all the wasted time.
You can tell the way it’s going by the first quarter for me, the dominance of the quarter back usually tells
give it a quarter mate
I'll give it another go someday.
Agreed about hurling btw, brilliant entertainment. Proper sport that.
The game lasts over 3 hours and I believe there's something like 11 minutes of play during that time.
It's a sport that I've slowly been getting into but I'm not clued up enough yet to have a debate about it like some of the guys on here.
Like I said, the quarterback is the main guy, if he is running the show it’s almost game over, then you have your rushers 66’s if they start hitting
I recall the days of the Channel 4 American Football show, but I can remember first watching highlights of the Super Bowl being shown on World of Sport on ITV back in the 1974 (Super Bowl IX) and have been a Steelers fan ever since, though my most memorable moment was when Joe Theismann's lower leg was broken - nearly made me throw up!
