[QUOTE="nam97, post: 159522"] I devoted most of '04 / '05 to watching the NFL. At the time I did enjoy it because there was no Rugby on, but as soon as the '05 Super 12 kicked off, it instantly hit me just how boring it is to me to watch. I do respect it and occasionally look at all the results and news, but it's just such a major drop in intensity/entertainment value compared to Rugby. The thing I don't like about it is that these guys get paid **** loads just to do one thing, be it punting a ball, returning a kick (amazed at the fact there's a different team for a punt and a kick return, what's the f***ing difference?????), blocking a guy or catching a pass. Such one dimensional athletes hardly deserve the amount of respect and money they get, most of whom are arrogant hip hop wannabes also. Don't get me wrong, I respect the sport for what it's worth, but the people who play it just seem like selfish *****. I probably spent more time watching adverts than the actual sport itself, it's just weird to watch. [/QUOTE]
