Ah, ok. Linebacker is an important position? When I hear something about American Football, I hear people talking about quarterbacks, but this is the only other position I've heard of. No, there's also a kicker, right?

Yeah Linebacker is a defensive position, very important. These two guys are a couple of the best to play in recent years.

Ok, thanks. I've been wanting to get a bit into this sport and see what you guys are so crazy about, but it is hard :P It's not really that friendly for newcomers. It's kinda ridiculous that everyone in Poland knows about every single Polish football player that plays abroad, everyone knows in which clubs Poles play, how well they play (we even know about the benchwarmers), even women know that ;) We know about the basketball players who used to play in the NBA and about the only one who still plays, about the F1 driver, about hockey players, even if they suck or are average, it all makes the sports news. At the same time nobody knows a single thing about american football, even though a Polish player (Sebastian Janikowski) is aparently considered to be one of the best on his position in NFL, holding the NFL record for the longest field goal xD And nooooobody in Poland knows about his existence. Don't know how that works :D

(I had to google this guy as well, as I don't even remember his name xD )

 

@OT When it comes to these ads, I like the one with these two american football players. I can see myself playing FIFA with my friend while watching a Champions League game and talking about it. Would be awesome, but I know he would never pay that price for a console, since he's not a gamer, he's just crazy about football and only plays FIFA. Ok, I made him play Mario Kart Wii once :P Then again, I kinda think that this can be easily achieved without XO with just a smart TV. They already have Skype in them and I think that the screen in screen feature isn't rocket science either, so I expect this to be already achievable and totally the norm in a year or two, with or without XO. I kinda think that at this point MS should be more worried about Samsung than Sony :P They won't beat Sony for the core gamers, but what's worse, Samsung may cause the more casual Kinect crowd lose interest in paying this much money to get what their TV already has (gesture and voice controls). I guess Sony should stop doing this crap with the PS Eye (adding voice control, etc.) and just integrate their smart TVs with PS4, adding these voice commands this way to match XO. There would finally be half a reason to buy a Sony TV ;)

The other add with that hot chick looks fake and plastic (the ad, not the chick ;) ), doesn't convince me at all. Unlike the ad with the players, this doesn't look like something that could take place and is an obvious PR bullshit, it's apparent they are forcing it to try to appeal to different people, but it just looks fake.
