4)Unlike most sports which are continuous play (basketball etc) the drama in american football is the diversity of action from play to play.
5)If they played continuously for 10 minutes at a time without interruption you would have alot of injured and possibly dead players by the end of the season.
The game is that rough.
This is why its the greatest sport in the world.  |
i disagree man.. i mean some NFL players have fucking beer guts.. especially in defense.. its how big you are, not talent.. so many NFL players have no talent, they are there just cuz they are 6'5, 500lbs, and they run into people.. wow so much skill in running/tackling someone.. give me paddings and i can probably also run/tackle people..
QB takes skill, WR takes skill, defense doesnt take that much skill..
Basketball if you dont know how to play, u dont know how to play.. if you cant dribble, you cant dribble, if you cant shoot, u cant shoot..
Basically if you get 10 people who have never played a sport, and pad em up for football, and afterwards take them to bball court, they will probably do OK in football tackling people... but in bball they wont even be able to bounce the ball, let alone shoot it..
But i digress, NFL is a good sport to bet on
