Hall of Famer
Actually new rules say no more sack dancing or pretty much any celebration whatsoever. NFL is getting ridiculous but whatever. It's a fun sport to watch on Sundays. And it is perfect for quick time shifting. you can get a little behind and just skip to the next play without missing a beat.
My interest in the NFL has dropped considerably. Used to be far and away my second favorite sport. But this stupid blackout rule where I can't even watch all the Raiders home games and the ridiculous amounts of stops in play and 3 min commercial breaks has turned me off. I'm not wasting half a day on a freaking NFL game. It's more about the money for the NFL than the actual game. Add to that players are constantly moving from team to team and it's just frustrating.
For me now it's basketball followed by soccer, and there isn't a close third. And if you like soccer there's so much more of it than any other sport there's no reason to waste time on something else. Whether it's the EPL, Bund, Serie A, La Liga, MLS, Eredevise, Ligue 1, RPL, UEFA CL, there's always opportunities to get to know leagues and clubs a bit better.
One cool aspect is soccer is the fastest growing sport popularity wise in the 18-34 age bracket in this country and MLS average attendance has surpassed the NBA. Hell, Dempsey's home debut already has 66K tickets sold and will break Century Links all time attendance record, including the Seahawks. Times are changing. We'll see more of that with the WC only about 10 months away.
