I watched 10 minutes of last year's Superbowl before I got bored and took a nap. Watching sports is nowhere near as much fun as playing.

I watch the occasional game when it's on though.

I don't watch it. I just can't get excited about a bunch of guys in tights running into each other every two minutes and slapping themselves on the ass after a touchdown.

I don't watch North American Handball!

Enjoyed playing it as a kid, but it's hella boring to watch. It is more exciting than Baseball though.

My step dad's sister was married to Fred Quillan*. So I was a huge 49'ers fan from age 12 to about 18. I just stopped caring after Fred wasn't playing. He did introduce me to some of his Chicago Bear friends after a game in 1986. Dan Hampton, Gary Fencik, mostly linemen.

*Fred Quillan - Center for the niners for like 10 years. Huge. 6'5" 260 or something.

Not I.

Don't get into it no matter how much I've seen it.

I've been to a decent number of NFL games and have always had a good time but don't care enough to keep up with it on the TV, sometimes I'll watch the Super Bowl and I'll sit and watch a game with my Dad when I visit, but thats about it.

I watch sports on occasion, but I'm not compelled to watch one game over another.

Lol, this is funny as heck becasue all the people who do watch football are off watching it right now!!! :p

But anyways, I watch football, am watching it right now (halftime), but being as this is a forum of computer geeks and such I would think the percent probably isn't as high as it normally would be. But personally, today I watched the Titans-Cowboys game, and am currently watching the New England-Bengals game. Yesterday I watched part of the Tennessee-Memphis game, and all of the Vanderbilt-Temple game (live since I'm at Vandy).

I watch raiders games. I'm waiting for that one game where the refs end the game early since they're afraid the raiders might get hurt

Yeah, but it's pretty tough to try out for an NFL team and not get cut.

I fell asleep during last year's Superbowl (around 3rd/4th quarter when it was just lame)... but I do watch football from time to time (pro ball that is). If the niners are on I will cheer for them, but they're quite hopeless..

As for college football.. hell yes. Saturday drains me, so by the time Sunday rolls around I don't really care to watch NFL (plus Sunday = study if Saturday = watch games / attend games).

I don't watch football at all. Its not something I grew up watching. As a puerto rican I grew up on baseball and boxing (which is what my father himself grew up on in Puerto Rico).

I tried to get into football but I just couldn't. Its not for me but I understand why its the most popular sport in the US.

College, yes
Professional, No

Is the poll referring to college, pro, or either?
