Its like Rugby with all the brilliance sucked out of it, replacing it with stop/start hinderences that remove all fun and tension.
I dout you apprecciate the intricacies of American football or if you even realise whats really going on. Every play is a battle in a war. It has ground attack and air attack and the same on defense. It has everything real war has other than the deaths. Its no wonder many of these guys meet at the end of the game and thank the good lord they didnt get hurt with a prayer.
