Same here.

Nowadays, I find that football is the one of the best things to structure social events around. We've sorta turned it into a whole day with friends and friends of friends. I do steak tips / wings / burgers / something on the grill, buddies bring over beer and we all gather around and watch the game.

This I can definately understand, my idea of a good night is the Cinema, but it's really not that social sat in silence next to each other.

Yeah, SB parties are awesome! and I have yet to attend a tailgate party.

Cool. Like the American office. Do you support them because you live near them or some other reason?
Their style of play is the best, plus their uniforms are really cool. Those were my reasons when I started watching.

i don't hate football but i dislike watching it on TV. It has nothing to do with the sport and everything to do with the 4 hours of commercials that break up the 10 minutes of action


I watch more real Football (soccer) and Rugby then any other sport

This. I was watching football with my dad over Thanksgiving and he refuses to use the DVR. He says "its not real"

Oh! Sorry I lost the plot a bit there, I'm the OP so I don't like it, but I'm looking to find a sport I do like so I'm curious about peoples opinions on it.
If you're british you must like soccer then?
