trust me as someone who lives in the US i find the NFL as manufactored drama now. this constant stopping and starting with actual game time where they aren't standing around doing nothing is completely insane. I am a Pittsburgh Steelers fan and have been lucky enough to see them win twice since i been alive. however i have gotten way more into soccer (football for all you non-americans) and hockey. NHL is great but international hockey that is on during olympics (when using international size ice) is great. the great thing about hockey that i love over NFL is that you are held accountable for what you did. you cannot just check someone ruthlessly into the boards without knowing that you will get a return of it. maybe not that game but soon. In regards to NFL the defensive players know they are never going to be in a situation to be hit like the recievers so they just dive like missiles at them.
however back on topic, if i had to pick a team i would like New Orleans to win so that maybe it can help that city turn around. completely amazing at the number of US citizens (and not wanting to turn this into a political mess) want that city to just fall into the lake as opposed to levee and dike it like Netherlands do. That city with so much culture and history deserves protection just like any other city and i believe with a SB win then that will help them move more and more back to the way they were. plus with mardi gras coming up and i now have tuesday-thrusday off i may go down for it and a SB win on top of that would make that place off the hook!! \(^^\)(/^^)/
