I just had to comment on this. Football (and I don't mean soccer) is one of those games you have to understand to enjoy (I can't wait for September). And it's not only played in the US.

Soccer is the beautiful game, but football is beautiful too. I've seen no other sport where everyone has a distinct, often uninterchangeable role. And the sheer athleticism of these guys,

P.S. Yes the last Superbowl was boring!
