Yeah I like the game of American football as a tactical and physical spectacle, it's just the way it's presented with all the NFL commercialism that makes it seem a bit naff. The actual sport is pretty deep, I wish they didn't have the wage cap so you could see some really good teams develop over the years.
Tic Tac, sir?

No-one in the UK says "Candy" in normal conversation. No-one.
But yea, American Football is a pretty great sport but watching is such a nightmare because its like 90% adverts. Though, watching the Superbowl on BBC is somewhat amusing when they're trying desperately to fill in all the advert time.

This sort of conversation always confuses me. As far as I know football is an old (pre-USA) European sport which is called football because you play it with your feet. So why is the softer American version of rugby (softer compared to the UK/Aussie variant where you don't wear a full body armour) called football?
or maybe I'm just an ignorant European?

Rugby's full name is Rugby Football. They're all football, but unlike Rugby people can't just call it American.mazonemayu wrote:This sort of conversation always confuses me.
