LOL, did you guys see the look on Payton Mannings face when they couldn't hit that field goal!!! Classic!!! That was one pissed of QB!!! Being from Atlanta, and having to go through year after year of sh#tty teams in the GA dome, I can barely stomach football. The Falcons? Vick's nothing more than a fragile Kordell Stewart.

I hear ya, re: hopeless teams. I grew up in Detroit, and even tho' I know better, every year I let the Lions break my heart.

A Brit friend of mine explained yank football as: "Take rugby, + 'the forward pass', + lots of padding, + lawyers/rule-makers = NFL". LoL.

Only if you care to explain Cricket!!! It looks like an awesome game, I love baseball, but Cricket seems almost impossible to understand. Do you have any links to the rules? Thanks!!!

A friend of mine got it for her husband. She loved football and he had a hard time following it. The more you know, the better you can enjoy the sport.
