Damn jocks....I'd go to a Jaguars game if I had tickets and I am sure it would befun. I just don't like to watch it on TV. My aunt used to watch me when I was a kid. All she watched was soap operas and football. I hated her house it was crawling (literally) with roaches they had no ac. It gets miserably hot here. And she was bitchy so soap operas and football on tv give me a wierd depressed feeling. And it is SO important to everyone atround here I get sick of hearing about it sometimes.

Re: the name REDSKINS
"winner's" make the rules right? philipinos and Latin americans live their whole lives with names derived from a relatively tiny european nation that once had a massive fleet of ships.

My older brother is a Vikes fan...got to me very early and corrupted me. I despise the Redskins. They're the only DC/MD based sports team I don't like. Again, I must thank my brother for showing me the light.

The Cowboys/Redskins game was like watching a potato sack race that
went the length of a marathon run.

bytor-- i'm not ready to put down money just yet! but yeah it's nuts. and thanks again for the recommendation on high school games-- there's one near my house next week and i might go check it.
jenn-- so what goes into being a non-local fan? why is it that you like them? do they have a style of playing or something? i'm curious to know. ha ha ha @ potato sack race. yeah! rob-- i guess so yeah but it's more a racial slur than an adjective indicating origin. anyway, fuckem. strangely enough, while some injuns take offense at the name, others favor this team just becuz. i missed the monday night game (no cable = no espn), was it good? i really hope i can get into this sport. the end of the world cup left me deprived. |

They were one of the powerhouse teams of the seventies, despite never
having won a Super Bowl in their history. I liked that their vaunted defense was nicknamed "The Purple People Eaters." And I just dig VIKINGS. How mighty and horn-helmet wearing! That's a name for a football team. Not like the Saints, or the Redskins, or Jebus help us, the Bills. Because they've never won the big one, the fanbase can't rest on past laurels, and are also prone to snide comments from other fans whose teams have won the big one. That actually makes me love being a Vikings fan more. Also...Adrian Peterson. Purple Jesus. The most gifted running back alive.

yr right though. "redskin" is totally a racial slur. no one would name a team the chinamen, or the drunken micks, but "fighting Irish" seems OK for the nation's foremost Roman Catholic college...

Glad to see yr giving it a good shot !@#$%
American football should be taught worldwide and used by nations instead of waging actual war. Their military strategists would spend theitr time devising new offensive and defensive formations! At worst, the combatants would be crippled, but that happens regularly already in footbal and is far far better than the wholesale slaughter of tens of thousands. we could have neutral countries be the refs! hahahah! for real though. everything has layers. futbol/soccer seems simple but it is deceptively simple. The time and effort and care that must be taken in hours upon hours of practice to get a team to gel properly are ridiculous. It amkes sense why school soccer teams are more like a gang, always together, always kicking around a ball. If soccer is like a gang of Amish friends working together to raise a barn, American football is like an ant colony. Each member has specific tasks and speciific rules it must live by.

jenn-- oh i see, it's totally random. sorta. i guess word-based? chosen like a true writer. hmmm... anyway, purple is nice, ha ha. i thought the viking name was due to the norwegian ethnicity of many minnehahans. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Minnesotan )
anyway i saw the vikings game last thursday and i favored the saints-- forgive me. this is for no other reason that i think new orleans is cool as shit, plus after all the sorrow they've experienced in recent years they deserve a little consolation-- nothing to do with their winning their superbowl last year or making an easy bet. bytor, i don't think i'm ready to enjoy visualizing a radio-described game. my uncle who is a soccer megafanatic is capable of doing that but i always had a hard time with that. then again if i had money on it i'd want to know what's going on... rob-- the thing is with soccer the action is more continuous and slower so you can follow with your eyesight. football is very quick so it requires a dozen inspectors and cameras to figure out what's going on. but maybe i'll be able to read the field better as i learn. also, i still don't know what players are good and what players suck and all that but i imagine i'll catch on eventually. and also, if discussing football is going to bring jennthebenn back to "the underboard" (sy gossip basement level 3) then it's worth the effort. |

It took me years to be able to "see" everything as it happens on the football field.

I was watching ESPN's Outside the Lines last Sunday and one guy talking said that there is actually only 17 minutes of action in an entire game. At first I said no way then I did some simple math like each play is 10 seconds long even thought they vary from as little as 3 seconds up to say 15 seconds and each team had 60 plays so each team had the ball 10 X 60 is 600 seconds divide by 60 seconds in a minute and you got each team with 10 minutes of actual action in 1 hour long game. Yet it takes 3 1/2 hours to play on TV where do all those other minutes go?
Definitely start watching High School football live the action is more continuous, the excitement better and some games are free. Someone there always wants to showoff their knowledge so they'll explain it to you or you can just eavesdrop on their conversations with their buds. If you are thinking of actually betting the game the golden rule is DO NOT PICK A FAVORITE TEAM. If you have a team that you favor as your team they will cloud your Judgement when evaluating them against an opponent. Stay neutral and you'll be able to pick winners better.
