you're in a public place with a TV and you ask to watch the US vs Canada hockey game when a college football game is on and you almost get lynched.

Happened to me last night.

Football is America's sport. Everyone and their grandma knows that.

I enjoy going to football games, but as far as following them and watching it on TV, it's just not for me.

... I wish it still was. Foosball sux.


you wish basbelal were still popular?? baseball is so exceedingly boring and repetative...you get slight action maybe ever 10 minutes when there is a hit. 20 years from now, 80% of baseball's fanbase will no longer be with us...what will become of the sport then?

Are you one of those Canadians secretly invading the US? Heh, I'm just kidding. Was it the Fiesta Bowl they were watching? If so that is one of the best football games to watch.

SOCCER!!!!!

so much better the baseball. boaring as hell. and football also sucks cause it stops every 10 seconds. a 1 hour game shoudent take 4 hours to play

O and CFL is more intresting cause teh field is bigger there are more players and all the defenders can be moving before teh ball is snapped. makes things more intresting.

No, American born and bred but I do live near Canada. Yes, the louts wanted to watch the Fiesta Bowl. Can you believe that?

That may be your opinion, but it's not everyone's. Personally, I have always enjoyed watching baseball and can't stand football. I highly doubt 80% of baseball fans are going to abandon the game in the next 20 years, if ever. It may currently be dropping in popularity, but it's here to stay.

i guess this is where we come up with the term "MTV generation"... everything has to be fast action

i don't think baseball is any more repetitive than football. and rugby is better than football in terms of action.

Football is the UK's sport. That is, the football you play with a ball and your foot, rather than using your hands most of the time.

i dont mind watching the NFL.
I love baseball, on the surface it may be boring to watch...but situations in baseball can bring about a unique type of tension. i also like the fact that there is no clock in baseball.
