Default NFL in the UK

Does this mean I finally have to learn the rules and watch it?

It's always on Sky sports so I figure one day I should sit and watch one of these games so I at least feel I'm getting my money's worth for the subscription.

arent the rules basically the same as for rugby except they wear loads of protection cos they're pussies?

and theres little yellow bean bag thingies that the 18 referees throw about like confetti.

and theres ad breaks every 18 seconds.

and its shit.

Ok, so I put it on for a bit, just to see what the fuss was about. Within about 10 secs, a guy gets it and runs straight off the pitch (wtf?) and looks happy about it (wtf?) and then it's adverts time (wtf?). Within 11 secs I put the footy (soccer) back on.

Gay.

I think it could be OK if I gave it a chance, but rugby > Yankeeball.

It's like poker; it's no fun until you learn the nuances.

As far as being pussies, there is a big difference between being hit by a 180lb weekend warrior and a 275lb sprinter. Even with the equipment they get their asses beat.

It's better than soccer (which I'm a big fan btw) because it's the ultimate team sport, all 11 guys have to be on the same page, not just 2 or 3 great players.

I'm not sure how much rugby you have watched but from what I've seen of NFL the players are no bigger than your average rugby player. The stereotype of lager swilling sunday league rugby player are gone now, these guys are serious athletes and built like fucking rocks.
