BTW, I didn't know Europeans liked American football. Is it popular over there too?

It's so popular that they broadcast the Super Bowl live on free-TV and with a lot of luck a couple of other NFL games. Which is a shame, because the European country American football was most popular in was probably Germany where five of the six NFL Europe teams were located before that league finally got shut down.

The popularity isn't going to grow as long as the NFL officials are focused on selling it as a pay-TV sport only and regional American football associations don't have the money to really popularize the sport by themselves.

Do you even think football Americano could compete with rugby? I mean I know rugby is not even that popular in Europe compared to the Southern Hemisphere. The games have a lot of similarities even though I think the football is rougher and has more exciting plays. So this makes me wonder if Europeans would ever greatly embrace a game that constantly stops. I hope so, but it seems it would take many decades. The league always is talking about bringing a team to London though.

i prefer nfl and baseball to rugby,but apart from the ball and posts i don't think rubgy and nfl are similar

i have decided to change the scoring system in my game and table you now get 3 points for an outright win,2 points for a tied win and 1 point for a second,this allows for more scoring and excitemnet,i just know you will not be able to contain yourself,i have gone back and recalculated the figures and will put  up the new table soon of week 4

well done denver too
