Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I think its an excellent sport. It's thoroughly absorbing once you fathom the rules (playing Madden is one of the best ways to learn). I've been a fan of the Rams since about 1985. I was hoping for a Bears - Patriots Superbowl as they were the two teams in the first one I watched. I'd like to see the Colts win it now, Peyton Manning deserves it.

Guest Patrokles Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Never got into it. I was in Oklahoma for one of the college games and assumed that a quarter being 15 minutes, I'd be free to leave in just over an hour. Not fucking likely. I was later assured that it's like a game of chess and that I just didn't fully appreciate the tactical nuances yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrokles Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Having said that, I, too, loved the old Madden games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree its a great game regardless of the pace of it. 49ers fan myself ever since i bought a shirt and played Madden watched it every week on sky since.

Probably worth it just for the occasion.....assuming killing fratboys was made legal for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tailgating, etc, etc. I like that their nickname is based on the fact that they stole land from some Indians. I know from Lauren that Rutgers this year was crazy because they're traditionally really shit but they won games or something. There were riots!

Zathras 234 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 College Football is the closest sport in this country comes to 'passion' from its fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I've always enjoyed it since i was a kid, the only one of the US sports i do like as i wouldn't watch baseball and basket ball if you paid me. But i do just watch highlights as live its going to take far too long and have too much stopping. I've stopped up and watched quite alot of the superbowl on a few occasions though. Don't have a team and wouldn't bother with one, i just watch the games with no particular team i want to win most times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Argh I watched a Superbowl once, big mistake. It was when I was a bit younger and woke up in the night feeling really sick and shaky, so I went to get a glass of water and put the tv on for a bit. The Superbowl was on so I gave that a go but fuck me it goes on for ages doesn't it?! It was the longest night of my life. I didn't *get* it at all.

JJ 0 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 *Tin hat on* I love the NFL. I'd much rather watch it than watch bloody rugby. Will be watching the Superbowl as always. I root for Philadelphia but they cocked up in the Divisional game so don't really mind who wins it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Will anyone else be watching tonight? The Colts are the favorites but I've got a feeling the Bears will do it. Offence wins games, defence wins chamionships as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
